Territorial reform/ Berisha: Rama intends to reduce the number of municipalities

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, said in a press conference that there can be no electoral reform without the presence of the ODIHR.

Berisha stated that the DP is ready to review all recommendations of the observation missions, with the presence of the ODIHR and the position.

Further, Berisha said that Rama intends to change the number of municipalities from 62 to 28 or 30.

Regarding territorial reform, Berisha said that the DP has submitted to Parliament a project that is different from that of the Socialists.

 

" We have emphasized here, there can be no electoral reform without the presence of the ODIHR. An invitation will be sent to the ODIHR, after they accept the invitation, an invitation is needed from all parties, the position and the opposition, and of course with the presence of the ODIHR, we are ready to review one by one all the recommendations of the observation missions, which from 2013 to today have not been taken into account.

For territorial reform, we have submitted, in parliament there is a project by the DP and the opposition for territorial reform which differs like night and day from the project that Edi Rama has in mind.

Edi Rama actually intends to divide the voting power of Albanian citizens several times over. To take power away from them and reduce them from 62, if I'm not mistaken, to 28 or 30 municipalities and communes.

Of course, his first reform was a disaster, a chaos. It is enough to remember here that a region with 120 thousand inhabitants has 7 local government units, a region with 1 million inhabitants has 4 local government units. This is true for Tirana and Gjirokastra.

"So for this second one, I cannot say that here too we have a non-negotiable condition, the presence of representatives of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe ," said Berisha.
