They were promised legalization, but after the elections it collapsed - Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama held a meeting with residents of Theth today to discuss the Mountain Package. During his speech, Rama recalled the demolition of dozens of unauthorized buildings in the tourist village of Shkodra last summer.

The head of government said that illegal construction exploded after residents misunderstood his promise to legalize existing buildings in Theth. According to Rama, Thethians began to build massively without permits, hoping to benefit from the process of legalizing previous buildings.

"It is completely untrue and you are witnesses. I did not come here and say: go ahead and build because we will legalize them. Because I had no way of saying that I would be violating the law. I came here and said that we will legalize these existing ones. We will legalize them starting from the old buildings.

Even those who inherited towers in an area like this did not have papers. No one mortgaged the tower because they said it was in a protected area, and being in a protected area, keep the tower, no one will come to destroy it, but it does not become your property. Then the reality created by those who later built without permission in conditions when there was nothing here.

Those that exist will be legalized. What happened was that after my visit, illegal construction there exploded, since we are legalizing it, they said, come on, we are entering. The world postcard of Theth was hit. If you go and write Theth in all the languages ​​of the world, it is the church with the green lawn. The green lawn was occupied, wooden houses were put up, it was surrounded, it was paved with gravel and it turned into a wound right in the middle of Theth. How could we allow this? ", said Rama
