"Vlora, a symbol of corruption and extortion of citizens"/ Atird

The opposition councilor in the Municipality of Vlora, Atird Hoxha, expressed in a reaction on social networks that Vlora today has become a symbol of corruption and extortion of citizens.

In his post, Hoxha also listed some of the affairs that, according to him, have had staggering benefits for government clients and colossal costs for citizens.

He further adds that Vlora is being robbed in every direction and that public assets are being turned into private profits.

Hoxha emphasizes that Vlora needs honest representation, and for people who live every day with Vlora's problems, and not, according to him, for government clients who show up just to take.

Full post:

Vlora today has become a symbol of corruption and extortion of citizens by the Rama&Balluku government.

Affair after affair, staggering benefits for the clients of power, colossal costs for citizens, and brutal alienation of Vlora's public assets.

Llogara Tunnel, 50 million euros from citizens' pockets

A pure corruption affair.

Inflated costs, manipulated procedures and a suspect minister. Benefits for a few people, bills for the citizens.

Port of Vlora, 18 buildings for government clients

The existing port was donated to Mane and Çele to build towers and palaces with profits of billions of euros.

Public interest? Vanished.

The city lost its port, its clients and governors gained wealth.

Triport Port, 60 million euros for the people of Salillari

Concession granted through a formal person, an employee of Salillari's company.

The project that was supposed to help the city is not being worked on or is being worked on very little, the goal is to turn it into a source of profit for a handful of clients.

Floating TPPs “Tigri 1” and “Tigri 3”

Serious energy issue:

• 90 thousand euros per payday

• So far, about 140 million euros in costs

• Minimal and worthless production

It was sold as "national salvation", but it turned out to be a financial fraud.

Vlora Airport, 750 million euros in benefits for concessionaires, risk for the budget

The airport is due to open on March 1st, but is still far from complete. In the meantime, the state guarantees the company's profits.

For the first 10 years, if Pacolli and Adem's companies don't earn enough, Albanians pay the difference. Not to mention the public and non-public contracts that seriously jeopardize the functioning of the airport.

Sherishta Landfill, 20 million euros for Zoto & Mërtir, zero efficiency

Non-functional technology, severe environmental impact and failed result.

Yet another scheme where citizens lose and corruption wins.

New business developments

860 hectares of pastures in Kanina, alienation for photovoltaic parks in the hands of government clients.

The "Flamurtari" complex, 60 thousand m² of sports grounds turned into a 40-story tower.

Behind the project are publicly the interests of Flamurtari FC administrator Sinan Idrizi.

The Navy School Field, 20 thousand m² of public land is planned for a residential and hotel complex by Bledar Sinani, or as he is otherwise known ("Dari of APEX").

For more than 2 years, this area has been transformed into a private parking lot, through bribes to the municipality and the ministry.

The Old Beach Gaps, alienation of public spaces for private towers by Eduart Frangaj & Co.

Orikum, Pashaliman, 25 hectares of state land for "Meta Resort Albania" of the Italian Dante Mazzitelli, a character investigated in the neighboring country and moreover in a legally protected area.

Vlora is being robbed in every direction.

Public assets are being turned into private profits.

I believe that Vlora needs honest, determined and rooted representation in this city.

There is a need for a strong voice, not for bought voices.

It needs people who live with the problems of Vlora every day, not government clients who show up just to get things done.

This model must end.
