Today, the Committee for Legal Affairs and Public Administration held its next meeting, where one of the main topics was the review of the draft law “On some additions and amendments to law no. 9244, dated 17.6.2004, ‘On the protection of agricultural land,’ as amended.”
One of the points that sparked discussions was the potential impact of installing wind turbines on agricultural land. The first to oppose was PD MP Oerd Bylykbashi, who argued that these structures require drilling into the ground and a large concrete platform, which according to him would damage the land.

On the same line positioned himself also the PS MP Damian Gjiknuri, who voted against Article 1 of the draft law together with the two PD MPs.
Then, he asked for explanations from the representatives of the relevant directorate, who insisted that the structures would be placed directly on the ground, without using concrete foundations.
“To put up a tower for a ‘wind farm’, it is 100 meters high and there is no chance it can be placed without a concrete structure. These are very tall towers. I am not convinced by your explanations,” Gjiknuri stated, among other things.
The debate intensified also at the moment of voting on the draft law as a whole. Strazimiri asked to continue with questions about the ambiguities that, according to him, remained open, but was stopped by chairman Manja.
The clash extended to Gjiknuri as well, and after heated exchanges, he left the meeting.
Part of the debate:
Ulsi Manja: Who agrees as a whole?
Damian Gjiknuri: Give me the floor to explain.
Ulsi Manja: No, no, you stay at abstention.
Damian Gjiknuri: Because you misunderstood too.
Damian Gjiknuri: Hey, will you give me the floor or should I just leave?
Ulsi Manja: Just go, man.
Damian Gjiknuri: Oh, pointless talk, nonsense talk.
Ulsi Manja: Go, deal with Oerdi.
