MALLENGJYESE / With the victory in the pan, Rama invites the Himariots to return and work in the resorts of the Coast

HIMARA / VUNO - It was a very emotional statement by the Prime Minister, half Vunjot, one quarter Durrsak, one fifth Berata and three eighths Shkodran, Edi Rama, immediately after the surprise victory of the socialist candidate Vangjeli pa Vetulla in the elections for the municipality of Himara.

"Better days are coming. I invite all Himariots who fled to Greece, and then to the USA, to return and work with good salaries in their homeland. We really need workers in tourism. Hotels and resorts are suffering for staff. Inquire at SASTEB offices. Soon we will also inaugurate the Dopolavoros hall for young Himariots aged 55 and over," Rama declared to the media, congratulating the winner Vangjel - the best one, not Dule, who has had his eyebrows together since he was 10 years old.

The Prime Minister added that the exiled Himariots, if not for the good salaries, should come for the air of their homeland.

"You don't know what you lose. It is an unprecedented air. Open the window of the house and fill your lungs," Rama appealed to the former residents, who here 30 years ago opened the windows, jumped out and ran away from their eyes and feet as they were not taking either the carpets of their grandparents' houses or the lands of theirs.

Rama tearfully said that he is aware that in the last ten years the Himariots and the entire Coast has suffered a lot, due to the irresponsible governments that have been in power since 2013.

He emphasized that he will do everything possible, together with Vangjeli e Meri, for the natives to receive the carpets that belong to them.

"Here, we have the descendants of the Koleka tribe, who for 30 years have been roaming around the state offices to get their property according to the law, to develop it touristically with hotels, resorts, swimming pools, agro-tourism, agro-swimming pools, etc., in order to employ the Himariots who will return, but the cadastre mafia has not yet paid them back ," said Rama.

The Prime Minister underlined the fact that the directors of the Vlora cadastre change every six months, and raised his voice: "Is there a state in this country, or not?"

Returning to optimistic tones, Rama declared in front of the cameras that even if they have occupied their houses and properties, the Himariots will do well to come and work for the new owners.

"If you behave well and earn their trust, who knows, you might get a raise," he suggested.

The Prime Minister added that until the Kolekaj tourist complexes that are being held hostage by the cadastre mafia linked to them up in Tirana are finished, the returned Himariots can work - and soak up the air of their homeland during their off hours - in the hotels they have built in the meantime, those natives who refused to leave, but chose to pour the sweat of others in their homeland, such as the prominent Himariot investors Xhaçkaj, Morina, Berishë, Bushkolaj, Markagjonaj, Markafrangaj, Markamanet, Markapapulë, Markadulak, etc.

A backup option is also work as domestic helpers in the villas of ministers such as Bella Ballukja, or of some prominent journalists who also chose to practice their magic in their homeland, and not leave to work as argots at the BBC, CNN, ABC, CNBC, RAI etc. etc. 

"So, then, come back, you have a beautiful place, charioteers. It's a crime for the German to burn it," the excited Prime Minister concluded his call.
