Edi Rama: Pseudo-Muslims spread a scandalous legend that Zvërnec was sold

Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke again about the protests in Tirana opposing construction in Zvërnec, Vlora.

From Berat for the 35th anniversary of the Socialist Party, Rama called online insinuations that Zvërnec and Vlora will be taken over by the Israelis and that Palestinian settlers will come there scandalous.

He held some believers, whom he described as "pseudo-Muslims", responsible for manipulation and fake news.

The Prime Minister emphasized that protests opposing tourism and economic development are out of blindness and malice.

"Today, the transformation of the entire coastline without starting this investment has increased the value of the property 4 times. They are the property of Albanians. What does this mean that we do not give Albania to foreigners. What does this mean that Albania belongs to Albanians. Who has put it into question? The work is how we will make Albanians feel at home.

As citizens equal to other countries, or that has the opportunity to become competitive but does not do so because it is afraid. Who protests, should the project they are protesting about be released? They have no way of releasing it, because the project has not been released yet, because it has been worked on for 3 years, in your name and in the interest of Albanians, we have maintained a very demanding stance at all times for a project that will bring 4 billion euros to Albania.

We have been very inquisitive about all these concerns that those who fall prey to manipulators and some pseudo-Muslims who spread a scandalous legend that Zvërnec has been sold to Israel and that's where the Palestinians will come. They even spread videos where they ask for the name and surname of that guard who committed that scandalous act and they want him because they want to kill him and they say it. And they put lek, euros on those dirty pages of theirs. Calling for hatred. Using the manipulation of social networks. What kind of Muslims are they?

How can they be in alliance with the Greek media? Two different beings. The Greek media has been worrying us from morning to night about the environment in Albania. Meanwhile, no one is showing the project, which is being built by the most prestigious studios in the world, the environmental study is being done by the most prestigious studios in the world. Without all this, there is no construction permit. Where are these? It's not that they haven't been completed. Then what is the opposition? What happened was scandalous. A state is measured by how it reacts.

"What more should the government and the state do? Arrest the person, prosecute the guards there. Revoke the license of the private company. What should we do? It's manipulation. And then, on the other hand, this is a moment to remember how many times we have set out to do things beyond the ordinary, we have encountered opposition," he said.
