VIDEO/ Hoxha: Barbarians with chainsaws have started "thinning" the

Artan Hoxha

"Barbarians with chainsaws", this is how the journalist Artan Hoxha described the workers of the municipality of Tirana, who have started thinning entire areas of olive trees in the capital's Orbital Forest.

Through a post on social networks, Hoxha has published a video showing entire empty areas with cut olives.

Hoxha said that barbarians with chainsaws are "whitening" the permits for the construction of reinforced concrete resorts, signed by the far-sighted mayor.

As it is known by the entire public opinion, Lali Eri's desire to appear on camera as a man devoted to work and the interests of the citizens, Hoxha has not left this fact without irony.

He said that when they plant 10 bushes from the municipality, the camera and the director are at their disposal, but when the screeching noise of the chainsaw that echoes to the heart of Tirana is not heard by anyone.

"The Orbital Forest of Lal has been over a million for a long time, that's why the "thinning" has started by flattening entire areas with 70-80 year old olive trees in what was once considered as the green crown of Tirana.

Barbarians with chainsaws are "whitening" construction permits for reinforced concrete resorts, signed by the far-sighted mayor.

In the media chronicles, we see 30 cameras, which take care to film the visionary planting 10 bushes, while no one hears the screeching noise of the chainsaw, which echoes to the heart of Tirana.

Fortunately for the barbarian with the chainsaw and the concrete workers with the farm from the City Hall, there are no cameras around. They come by order in a row for one, even with central direction, only when the gravediggers of power appear with shovels in their hands as hardened environmentalists.

A deafened capital, as if in a lethargic sleep that neither sees nor hears how the forward-thinking connoisseurs of concrete are taking away its breath, air, life, present and future.

A year ago, when the price of olive oil dropped significantly, I heard the Minister of Agriculture complain that the Albanians had planted more olives than they should have.

Apparently, the chainsaw is easing the burden even on the Ministry of Agriculture.

The hills with tens of hectares of olive trees that are being flattened, are adjacent to the zoo and a continuation of the Hill of the Sun.

Pretty soon, the desolate sun won't know which concrete hill to choose first…

After the olive trees, the turn comes very quickly, the only wreath around Tirana with chestnuts. The permits for the concrete resorts were also signed there." /CNA
