According to him, Albanian citizens continue to pay for an incinerator that does not exist, while the capital is grappling with waste accumulating in public spaces.
Bardhi describes the situation as the result of an irresponsible model of governance in which payments are made, but the service is absent and responsibility is concealed by propaganda.
He also says that waste has spread through public spaces and that citizens face the consequences of poor management every day.
“Albanians continue to pay for an incinerator that does not exist, while Tirana is drowning in rubbish,” said the head of the DP parliamentary group.
He considers it scandalous and unacceptable that a country aspiring to join the European Union should present itself to the world with cities covered in waste, while millions are being paid for an incinerator that does not exist.
“Rubbish has taken over every corner of Albania, including its heart, Tirana. While citizens face this shameful reality every day, those in power continue to act as though they neither see nor hear anything and bear no responsibility,” Bardhi declared.
According to him, the problem is not limited to administrative incompetence, but constitutes a “political and administrative failure.” Bardhi is calling for transparency, accountability and functioning public services, rejecting excuses and propaganda.
“Citizens deserve service, transparency and accountability, not propaganda, excuses and bills that they are forced to pay,” he stressed.
“Tirana does not need propaganda. It needs a government that works and takes responsibility. Enough of the arrogance of those in power. Enough of the squandering of public money. The time for responsibility and accountability has come,” Bardhi concluded.
