At the big final meeting of the capital's campaign, held in the Olympic Park, the mayor Erion Veliaj said that the vote for the members of the Municipal Council is as important for Tirana as it is for the new leaders of the municipalities.
Veliaj said that only with the socialist majority in the City Council can the next important transformative decisions of Tirana be taken.
"Today is vital, not only the vote for the mayor, today the vote for number 2, the Socialist Party and the Municipal Council is vital. Today the vote for the Municipal Council is important. Today, we have the absolute support of the government and Edi Rama, but we need a vote for the Municipal Council to be able to finish Tirana's work. A few days ago we kept our promise to rural areas, we opened the agri-food market, to make sure that there is no monopoly on fruits and vegetables. That vote is in the City Council.
Today we will open the Pyramid of Tirana as a digital technology epicenter for our young people to learn the jobs of the future. Today we are ready to announce the winner for the New Palace of Conventions on "New Boulevard", for the Pole of Justice, for the General Prosecutor's Office, for the Supreme Court, for the Museum of Modern Art and for the new City Hall, to given to the "New Boulevard", the chance to be the backbone of Tirana, in the 100 years of Tirana that only goes forward. Today, with the help of Edi Rama's government, we have expropriated all 5 grounds for the new schools in "Astir" and a few days ago we opened the first kindergarten", he said.
Further, the mayor lists some of the projects he wants to do for Tirana with the approval of the Municipal Council.
"Today we need the Municipal Council and votes for the Socialist Party to make it possible, after we built 8 buildings of the Agricultural University, the Engineering buildings, the Medicine buildings and the Student City buildings. With Ed and the government, we made half of the Ring, we were stuck for 3 years in Astiri, look today how the value has increased, look today how the traffic has been freed.
We need that vote to continue to take it to the end, from Farka e Madhe to Dajt, from Dajti to Kinostudio, from Kinostudio to Kokonozët, from Kokonozët to Tufinë, from Tufina to Paskuqan, from Paskuqani to Kamëz, from Kamza to Laprakë to complete the entire Ring in Tirana. Here we are today, this sports complex, the fruit of cooperation with the government. We have just decided with the prime minister that we will start work on the new Sports Palace "Asllan Rusi" and on the new stadium "Selman Stërmasi" which, like the national arena, can be turned into spaces that transform the economy and give energy to extraordinary unit 7 of unit 5", added Veliaj./ CNA.al
