Albanians have been demanding his resignation for 3 months, Rama speaks about “Pasqyra”: Three wounds feed one another, citizens do not know who should answer…

Prime Minister Edi Rama, at a meeting of the Socialist Party parliamentary group and ministers, identified three problems that damage the relationship between citizens and the state.

Rama said these “wounds” feed one another and require intervention through reforming the way the administration operates.

Rama further stated that Besa, Prania Besnike, PasqyrAlbania and the Scale of Merit, as well as the entire new state and party communication system, are components of a necessary reform of the citizen-state relationship.

“Today we must confront three wounds that feed one another. The first is the wound of the labyrinthine state: citizens do not know when or who should answer to them. The second wound is the lack of institutional memory. Promises are made, matters are discussed and decisions are taken, but no record of accountability is kept for what was done, what was not done, what was delayed or what changed along the way. Institutional memory is not the institution’s records office. It is much more than that. Its absence costs the state and citizens many times more than one might imagine. The third is the wound of the invisible door, which you can see and feel in the often justified belief of every person in Albania that, when it comes to receiving a service or securing a job, connections matter more than merit and luck matters more than the law. Pasqyrë Albania, Prania Besnike, Besa and the Scale of Merit are inseparable parts of the effort to answer these questions,” Rama said.
