The chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, stopped tonight in his speech before the democratic sympathizers on Thumanë street. And while the residents of the surrounding areas have been protesting for days, today Berisha called on all the northern districts to protest in Thumana.
But the irony is that while Berisha calls for protest, he does not mention Bashkim Ulaj, the businessman who has a concession on this road.
" Dear friends, let us salute the resilience and courage of all the residents of Thumana, Fushë Kruja and Kruja for their most legitimate rights despite the illegal and unconstitutional punishment that Edi Rama and Lubi Balluku have done to them in an act of criminal racism with the road, which was supposed to be a great favor to the residents of the area, but also a great reward because it was built on their lands.
What is taking place in Thumana is the other most authentic evidence of the inhuman character, of the racist and contemptuous attitude of the governors towards ordinary citizens.
Punishing the citizens of an area with roads, bankrupting their business, promoting their market day, blocking their tourism is a punishment that no invasion, no regime has inflicted on them.
That's why I appeal to all the northern districts, in Thumana is your battle.
In Thumana, every resident from Fushë Kruja to Vermosh and Valbona is fighting.
In Thumana, they fight against the arbitrariness of a government that despises them and kicks them.
In Thumana, a terrible discrimination is being fought against the poorest inhabitants of Albania with a new tax to come to their capital.
I urge you to stand up, do not accept humiliation, do not accept punishment.
Give to this conqueror what you have given to every conqueror in times.
"Nothing can defeat the just cause of the citizens of Kruja, the just cause of the citizens of all the northern districts" , declared Berisha.
