The Democratic Party expects the international community to oppose the Socialists' draft territorial reform in September. MP Luciano Boçi said that the Socialists' proposal would be unacceptable to the United States and the European Union, as it contradicts their principles.
"They are on vacation and it is normal that they do not disturb their vacation too much for our troubles. But a statement is needed and we are waiting for a statement from the international factor."
Silence is acceptance, silence, but we cannot talk about silence because this is what you said, which is a period that has not been very busy in politics and in the engagement of the international factor.
"We have to wait for September, the resumption of a new situation in parliament as well," Boçi told A2.
"The US and the EU are the ones who have monitored it, supported it, but who will also maintain their positions and I judge that, I foresee that this draft, this bill, will be unacceptable to them from the way it was served, from the way it came to parliament, from the way it bypassed the commission insisted on by them and from the way it seeks to make a new territorial division in Albania without respecting any European standards," he added.
"Because we ourselves were talking about European standards, about administrative capacities, financial autonomy. They forgot about them immediately, they simply came down to dividing numbers. They said an efficient municipality should stay, a poor municipality should join a municipality that has resources, so that it can help with the cost of services."
But how can you unite poor municipalities and claim that you are creating welfare and wealth? No! Discrimination will increase. Discrimination starts from Tirana... It is a purely pre-prepared electoral scheme that will not affect the influence of the government, but it is a scheme as a more perfect warehouse to bring eternal political votes. That is the formula", he concluded.
