Socialist leader Edi Rama held a meeting with students and teachers in Vlora this Sunday. Before discussing education, Rama gave a summary of the investments made in the Vlora Region by the government in 10 years.
" Urban regeneration, we have done 140 projects worth 172 million euros.
Here are the projects related to the environment and protected areas, there are 121 projects worth 11 million euros.
Here we have another important element, and also at this point most people do not have information: in the Vlora region alone, 124 projects have been invested in water supply and sewage systems worth 226 million euros.
Here we are on energy, you know what the problem has been with energy and how much of a problem the challenge of energy supply is when needs and demands are growing so quickly. And in Vlora alone, 4 projects worth 120 million euros have been implemented.
Agriculture for the Vlora region alone is 85 projects for 65 million euros.
Here we are in education, 75 projects for 29 million euros.
Healthcare, 73 projects for 18 million euros.
Sports, 2.4 million euros for sports projects, including gyms, sports fields, etc.
A value of 15 million euros has been invested in culture in the last 10 years and I believe we should have the total.
"In total, in a decade we have invested 1.27 billion euros in the Vlora region ," Rama said.
There was no shortage of jokes at this meeting, as one of the excellent students, after giving a speech and saying that he 'declared the discussions open', sat down again in the hall.
Rama intervened, humorously telling him that Bledi Çuçi teaches him to speak in formal and 'frozen' speeches. He then invited him to sit next to him, taking the sheet of paper on which he had written the speech, and asking him to speak without emotion and openly, without the need for clichéd speeches.
"Where are you now that you declared it open? Come here, take a chair. These are Çuç's formats that are frozen. You made these formats? Who? (addressing Çuç) ... She gave a speech and left deserted. Come sit here in the middle. Speak freely, whatever you want," the SP leader told the student.
