'The palace in Myslym Keta declared uninhabitable', Veliaj appeals to

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, declared today that the building damaged by the earthquake on st. "Myslym Keta" is one of the buildings that have been declared uninhabitable, while the residents are beneficiaries of new apartments in the "5 Maji" neighborhood.

"In Tirana, dozens of buildings damaged by the earthquake were demolished, especially in Units 4 and 6, which are the two most affected areas. If a state institution, which is called the Construction Institute, has given the verdict that this building is of category DS5, not only in Tirana, but also in Durrës, also in Fushë Krujë, also in Thumanë and any other area affected by the earthquake, automatically, it is the obligation of the local government to do several things: First, to demolish the building, secondly, to give rent bonuses to the residents, so as not to leave them out, and thirdly, to give them a new house. Only after they have received the new house, the residents who have no other accommodation, the rent bonus is cut off, in order to get into the new house," said Veliaj in an interview for Top News.

He said that the policy is harming the residents in this case as well, luring them with protests, since those who signed have already taken shelter in the new apartments.

"I remind you that, in the area of ​​'5 May', most of the beneficiary residents are from this building on st. "Myslim Keta". Some of them I had the opportunity to visit personally, they have been accommodated in the new houses for a year. They trusted the state, the government, they trusted the municipality. They did not deal with politics, they did not politicize the issue, but they immediately concluded the contract. Initially for the rent bonus and as soon as the apartments were ready, they moved into their new homes and are enjoying them today. The New Year will find them at home more comfortable than the ones they left. I believe that when we trust the authorities, when we cooperate to overcome these difficult situations, we move forward. If the vaccine is politicized, if reconstruction is politicized and if everything is politicized and for the sake of party ideals people forget the ideal of the family, there is very little that the municipality can do,

He specified that the building that collapsed today has been out of order since 2019. It was reassessed in 2020-2021 again by the Construction Institute, which gave the same result.

"The call for those last citizens, since 90% of the citizens receive the rent bonus, the apartments have also started: please come to the administrative unit. It's your municipality, it's your city, it's your state. Groups come and go, particles come and go. I guarantee one thing to those citizens: A party divided into two parts, which burned its house, will not fix your houses. It can only be fixed by a state, a government and a municipality that has done this for hundreds of residents and will certainly do it for that part as well, despite the fact that they were used politically," was his appeal.
