Rama warns mayors: Follow Ervin Demo’s example, otherwise next time I will mention names

Prime Minister Edi Rama also took part in an event held on underground infrastructure in urban areas, focused on organizing overhead cables and makeshift structures that spoil the appearance of cities, as well as the gradual transition to underground networks and the responsibility of municipalities in this process.

In his speech, the head of government also addressed the behavior of some mayors, saying they should keep in mind the example of the Minister of Local Government, Ervin Demo. According to Rama, even though his home is in Tirana, he continues to work in the districts.

“It’s not all of them, but it is some. Meanwhile, the example of the current Minister for Local Government, who comes from an experience of service outside Tirana. Even though he had and still has his home in Tirana, he is an example that some chairmen should keep in mind, whom I am not naming today, but next time I will name them publicly. They leave the community and their duty before the official time for rest actually comes and come to Tirana. This is unacceptable. I have your full understanding to address this concern as soon as possible, which has repeatedly been brought to me by some of your communities. Mainly in the southeast of the country. On the Tirana-Korça axis. I’m not talking about those from the former PD, because whether they are there or not, they are still the same. I am talking about the PS elected officials on the Tirana-Korça axis. I’m not referring either to Sotiraq or to the minister. To end with a smile, which I hope will be a sweet smile and not turn into a bitter smile for anyone,” Rama said.
