Tirana has always filled our beaches. After Tirana, Prishtina (that is, Kosovo).

Tirana and Prishtina have filled the beaches. Don't have any illusions about foreign tourists. Let's be clear, I'm not saying that there were no foreigners, but not enough to fill the beaches of Tumlas and throughout the summer.

Albanians have filled our beaches. No doubt that is so.

If the beaches are empty today, it means that Albanians have serious problems. Both the Albanians who serve and the many who consume clearly have problems.

I believe that the fundamental problem is economic uncertainty. Warranties have fallen.

Of course they have fallen, when every day there are news of wiretapping and scandals. Where the popular shackles crack every day, in order to please the crowds. Every day there are laws that take away rights that were established by previous laws. Today you can be an owner, tomorrow you are living without a penny for bread!!!

Uncertainty and total lack of guarantees!

High prices also play a role, obviously. But the mood, that is, the collective feeling of spending money, has been significantly affected by uncertainty.

I am not an economic expert and I have no way of drawing conclusions about this situation, but this is the feeling I have as a citizen, as a consumer.

Just as it is a fact that our beaches are convincingly populated by Albanians.

That's why I say that the beaches that are empty today show that Albanians don't have the energy to spend like before. Even those in the black economy are the same...

We hear a lot about "smart" vacations and about alternative offers with certain days. There is not a week left, about 10 more days, holidays on our beaches. 

Who wants to read the reality, should simply leave the eyes free in the forehead.

The improvement of this situation is not done with public appeals, nor with idiotic statistical statements that say nothing, but with structural reforms.

First of all, today's Albanian needs security and legal and economic guarantees.

An Albanian is free only when he is safe and has guarantees.

Neyse, see you on the weekend at the beach... Yes, on the weekend.

On Sunday at dinner we will be in the battle of road traffic to return to Tirana...
