What Edi Rama did not say and the opposition forgets to say about Korça

Prime Minister Edi Rama

Prime Minister Rama was in Korça District and developed his campaign. He announced the triumph, because tourism and hotels were developed in Korça, with the arrival of Sotiraq Filos at the head of the Municipality of Korça. He said that he found Korça miserable, with a tourist, and others like that.

In fact, Rama deserved an answer that the opposition should give. An answer, not political, but an answer to the truth of what happened in Korça. How was it invested in Korça? How was the study developed? How has tourism developed and how has the city become a major attraction for various visitors?

Edi Rama in Korça

First, when Edi Rama came to power in 2013, Korça District was third in the national ranking in terms of investments. With Edi Rama in power, it is sixth or seventh, let's not say below.

When Rama came to power in the Municipality of Korça, and in the Municipality of Pogradec and Devolli, 100% of the water pipes were completed.

The sewage network was 100% completed. Two very large investments. In the Municipality of Korça, the city's cobblestones were completely finished, all the roads were asphalted.

When Edi Rama came to Korçë, the stadium was reconstructed and lit. It was the only stadium with UEFA standard C parameters, where international matches were also played.

Edi Rama probably does not know that thousands of kilometers have been paved in the field of Korça. Where he steps today to campaign in every municipality of the Korça district, in every municipality of the Pogradec district that were separate units yesterday, there were paved roads, there were schools, there were new kindergartens, right up to the corners distant, new investments in 8 years that Edi Rama found ready.

How would Edi Rama develop the tourism in Korça in case there would be no water and electricity 24 hours after having a reconstructed station?

How would the city develop if the streets had not been laid with cobblestones, if they had not been asphalted, if the sewers had not been made?

When Raqi came to power or Edi Rama, he found them ready.

Head of the Municipality, Sotiraq Filo

Yes, Sotiraq Filo also has a merit, Niko Peleshi has a greater one, when he was mayor because of the way he opened for investments, because of the grants he provided, the work the municipality did, but neither Filo nor Peleshi can deny the fact that, in Korça during the 8 years of DP, during the time that today's opposition has been in power despite being divided, the investments in the Korça District, the investments in the Municipality of Korça have been many times greater and work has been done with hospitality, as the Korcarians say.

The city was built from the ground up. No facades were built, no towers were built, but a pedestrian walkway was built, but with a loan recognized by the Albanian government.

What Rama has done in Korça is the town of students or bazaar.

There are definitely big investments that have given Korça two different poles, but the prime minister should know that the city ring was built before he came to power, the city's roads were paved before he came to power.

Let the prime minister say which new road he has made in Korça. The entrance of Korçë, the Ring of Korçë, the Korçë-Porgadec road, the beginning of the Korçë-Ersekë road, which the government neglected for 10 years and is unable to finish today after 10 years in power, which is a shame.

Or the Qukës-Qafë Plloçë road, which is 35 km long and our government cannot finish it. For 30 million dollars, as much as is said about the "Skënderbeu" stadium.

The Prime Minister can be proud of Korça and he is right, and he has made his investments in this city, but he should know that he has not given Korça what it deserves, not even half of what Korça and the residents of Korça pay in taxes, nor half of what the farmers of Korça pay, because there are no investments in infrastructure. They have simply found their way. There are no investments in schools, in health, essential in the municipality.

Therefore, rather than being proud of tourism, Edi Rama should take the numbers, see that Korça County was satisfied with the level of investments during the PD government and give those investments to Korça and not deal with what he there is a lot of fun, facades and towers.

But deal with infrastructural problems, with tax reductions, with the development of the city, since the poor do not need alms because they are workers. The tourism in Korça was developed by the hostels, it was developed by the citizens themselves, because the government did not give them a hundred for those hostels, which they opened to live and gathered people with spirit and heart, with purity and love. So Edi Rama did not do it./ CNA.al
