The chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, made strong accusations against Prime Minister Edi Rama, accusing him of destroying the history of the capital. In a meeting with experts, he said that money earned from drugs is already dictating development.
"The architects of the Dutch studio that deal with Tirana or Stefano Boeri are well known. But what happens to them? If these architects in Rotterdam or other cities have built masterpieces, here they transform with Rama and with this mayor they adapt and everything in Tirana is dictated by the weight of drugs.
No one can be against a modern neighborhood in Tirana. But what happens in Tirana does not happen anywhere in the world. They rushed to build a tower without any connection or plan. Without any respect for urban planning conditions.
What is left for Tirana? Absolutely, the Tirana that I knew 60 years ago, as a child, was many times superior in heritage and values than today's Tirana with towers that represent unrestrained greed and not order. With towers that stick where they can and how they can, it is enough to launder tons of euros and drugs.
A week ago I saw the construction indicator in Europe. Albania's indicator is 2 times higher than any other European country, and 4 times higher than Sweden, and several countries. Because rivers of narco-Euros are flooding here and destroying the city ," said Berisha.
