The former Minister of Justice, Ylli Manjani, stated on the show "Top Story" that the Socialist Party and the Socialist Movement for Integration had full knowledge of the issue of incinerators.
He said that for 4 years that they were together, this issue was not mentioned by LSI, but the breaking of the pact between the two parties turned it into an issue. He also said that the breakdown of LSI-Lefter Koka relations had an impact.
"In 2013, Albania had a strategy for waste collection, when the SP came to power. The recycling business in Albania at that time was really encouraged, something had started, when the government makes decisions, the business is also oriented. From this moment until the decision to build and go to the regeneration strategy, no one knew anything. We started talking about incinerators in 2019-2020. The government of that time made a decision to cancel a law in force, this decision was up to the government to clarify in detail that it is not a shame to clarify but it was never done. This is absolutely politics, it starts and ends with politics, a government that comes to power and affects the budget has the duty to inform the public. Why was this conclusion reached, was there an attempt at this environmental emergency, which is a very big word that should only be handled in a few institutions. SP and LSI have had full knowledge about the issue of incinerators. Rama and Meta, as leaders of the institution, should have explained in time to the Albanian people that something better would be built. The issue of the incinerators came up after their construction had begun. Why did incinerators become so interesting to the public? First, the breaking of the SP-LSI pact is the number 1 reason. No voice was given during the 4 years they were together. The second is the breaking of the LSI-Lefter Koka pact. And the third is the commercial crisis. Allies suddenly became enemies. Also, it is the conduct of justice in this matter., which is just like the emergency that treats the next symptom but does not cure the disease totally deal with a denunciation and let's arrest some people.- said Manjani
