A few days ago, the news came out that the government withdrew for the moment from the million-euro tender for the installation with a wooden structure in the inner courtyard of the prime minister's office. 

The Albanian Development Fund announced that it has suspended the competition, but has not disclosed the reasons for this suspension. Journalist Ola Xama , through a reaction on Facebook , rejects the claims that this tender has been suspended, but it is costing Albanian taxpayers even more money.

Prime Minister Rama's statement that he withdrew from the project for the construction of the wood installation in the Prime Minister's yard is not true. In fact, this lie is costing Albanian taxpayers even more money.

The Albanian Development Fund has opened a tender for the installation of solar panels in the prime minister's building with the aim of saving electricity. This procedure was opened quickly a few days after the prime minister denied the construction of the "Eden Park" project in front of journalists. But the open procedure for the construction of the installation has not been canceled by the Development Fund, but temporarily suspended.

Also, in the tables of the 2023 budget approved by the Ministry of Finance and Economy and then by the Council of Ministers, in the program of projects that are classified as public investments, the budget allocates 407 million lek (3.5 million euros) to the Albanian Development Fund for the construction of the wood installation and another 7 million to be given for this project in 2024.

The table also shows that 103.5 million lek (900 thousand euros) were paid for this project during this year, which is thought to be the bill for the Austrian studio "Precht" that made the project.

Another bill that is expected to be paid from the pockets of Albanians is that of the Beçheti case. The Ministry of Finance has classified 108 million euros as contingent liability that Albania has, while the expenses for law firms for this matter continue and have so far reached the value of 2 million euros.

The Albanians must also pay 13.4 million euros for the demolition of the palace in Vlora, for which the prime minister did not wait to respect the procedure and, combined with the weak defense in Strasbourg, brought losses to the budget. The non-payment on time of this decision taken in 2018, forces the budget to pay another 3.8 million euros in interest.

The 2023 budget goes partly to the prime minister's whims and partly to concessions, while the traditional expenses for salaries for the administration and the financing of 2-3 road axes continue.

The essence of the budget this time should have been the crisis. His focus should have been social policies to protect the vulnerable, support the middle part of the population that has borne the brunt of the crisis of high prices until now, and draw up an ambitious plan to curb the flight of young people from Albania. Within this was the increase in teachers' salaries.

The 2023 budget should have in its focus the lower expenditures of the portfolio of ministries for events, buildings and reconstructions and further reduce the level of public debt. It should deal with the crisis in the energy sector and not finance concessions and ghost incinerators, but immediately start increasing energy production capacities.

The last public hydropower plant built was Komani in 1985, while in the last 30 years KESH has built only one floating panel in the Vaut i Deja lake that has a capacity of no more than 13 MWh!
