Tirana-Rinas road blocked from today, timetables and roads where it can be passed
Starting today, vehicle traffic in the Tirana-Rinas direction will be blocked due to construction works for the new overpass at Qafë Kashar.
The Albanian Road Authority announces that the blockade will be in effect today and tomorrow, January 13 and 14, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM. During this period, drivers traveling to Rinas Airport should use alternative routes.
More specifically, movement can be carried out via the roads: Vorë–Fushë Krujë, the secondary road, the Tirana–Kamëz–Valias–Rinas axis, as well as the Kashar–Thumanë road built by the concessionaire.
ARRSH asks for the understanding of drivers and calls on them to follow the provisional signage and plan their movement in time to avoid delays.
The works to overpass the Qafë Kashari Pass aim to improve traffic flow and road safety, bringing long-term relief to travelers towards Rinas.
2. Berisha calls for national protest
On January 24th, the final rally
The Democratic Party returns to the scene of national protests. From the podium set up in front of the Prime Minister's Office, the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, announced this evening the call for a national protest on January 24, which he described as a decisive moment for the opposition and for the country.
In his speech, Berisha declared that the January 24 protest would be final and that he would send, according to him, the "final message" to Prime Minister Edi Rama. He accused the head of government of violating the law and the Constitution, describing the political situation in the country as a continuous institutional coup.
Berisha called on Rama to step down from power and accept, as he put it, the constitutional order and the law. Otherwise, he warned that the opposition and citizens would take the government “outside the law and outside the Constitution” through popular reaction.
The leader of the Democratic Party (DP) addressed a direct appeal to Albanian citizens, inviting them to take to the streets en masse on January 24 to show the power of unity, civic courage and the opposition spirit that, according to him, has not been broken despite political pressures.
The call for protest comes just days after a roundtable organized by Berisha with opposition parties and civil society representatives. The meeting was attended by some of the Democratic Party's traditional allies, including Kujtim Gjuzi, Selami Jenishehri and Fatmir Mediu.
However, not all of the opposition responded positively to the invitation. Three of the leaders of the new parties, Arlind Qori, Agron Shehaj and Adriatik Lapaj, refused to participate, further deepening divisions within the opposition camp.
3. Who financed the Reestablishment Assembly?
SPAK interrogates another DP official
Who financed the Democratic Party's Re-establishment Assembly on December 11, 2021? This is the issue that SPAK is investigating as part of an in-depth wealth investigation into former Prime Minister Sali Berisha and his family members. The investigations are being led by Prosecutor Arben Kraja, while a day earlier, MP Belind Këlliçi was questioned.
Meanwhile, today, Indrit Hoxha, Secretary for Diaspora, and one of the names that appeared at the side of Sali Berisha 5 years ago, as the latter launched an "operation" to take over the leadership of the party from Lulzim Basha, after the latter accepted the Americans' request to expel the former Prime Minister from the Parliamentary Group, after being declared "non grata".
Hoxha, like Këlliçi, is being questioned as a person who may have knowledge of the expenses and who covered them, while Flamur Noka and Albana Vokshi are also next in line to be questioned. But the list continues with other names of democratic functionaries who in December 2021 appeared as organizers or who were part of the Re-establishment Commission.
From the 'anti-mafia' section: Kushtrim Shala, Ermal Beqiri's partner; ACTI as a tender anteroom
In every investigation that affects Ermal Beqiri's activity, whether for AKSHI tenders, for beneficiary companies or for the role of the ACTI association in guiding public projects, the same name constantly appears, not as a person under indictment nor as a publicly exposed figure, but as an actor carefully placed behind the scenes, where there are no news headlines, but where relationships of interest are built, Kushtrim Shala.
In the public sphere, Kushtrim Shala is presented as a technology expert and as a figure involved in the innovation ecosystem, but commercial documents and formalized relationships show that this positioning is not based on an advisory or neutral role, but on a direct business partnership with Ermal Beqiri, a name that today appears at the center of criminal files for manipulated tenders, schemes to benefit from public funds, control of competition in the technology sector, hostage-taking, structured criminal group, etc.
