Socialist Party MP, Aulona Bylykbashi , stated that residents of municipalities that will be merged as part of the territorial reform will have more opportunities and better services.
Bylykbashi said that she understands citizens' reactions against the reform, but according to her, major changes bring fear and decision-making should be based on long-term needs.
She expressed confidence that after the 2027 elections, residents will understand the benefits of the reform and that their services and livelihoods will improve.
"These citizens will definitely be more privileged than other municipalities, which today are small and have remained on their own. They will have greater opportunities. I am convinced that the citizens themselves will see what the benefits are. I completely understand their reactions, because big changes bring fear, but we have the obligation to be cool in decision-making," declared Bylykbashi.
"Residents will understand after the new elections in 2027 that their services and livelihoods will only improve," added the socialist MP.
