What was seen was that civil emergencies in Albania, a NATO member country, do not even have the most necessary equipment in case of fires.
Albania is facing a fire emergency situation, while Prime Minister Edi Rama attempted to put it into perspective with what is happening in many other countries, including Greece, Spain, Turkey, and even Bulgaria.
But in at least two municipalities, Gramsh and Delvina, the inhabitants of rural areas faced an apocalyptic situation, where the fires got out of control, while a capitulation of the authorities was observed. The testimonies of the people themselves confirm this, while they lost their homes, livestock, crops. The only thing that seems to have worked was the forced or not evacuation of citizens, in the name of the fact that human life is much more precious than anything else. Yes, this is true and no one questions it, but those people who lost their modest assets, placed for years in villages that are considered lost, today do not know whether they will be compensated or not, for the damages caused to them by a natural disaster, while the Government has not declared any emergency situation, even local.
But what did the last 48 hours show?
What was seen was that civil emergencies in Albania, a NATO member country, do not have even the most necessary equipment in case of fires. And while we saw firefighters ready to go to the scene, none of them were wearing fire suits, none of them had that 20-25 kg water canister, none of them had the minimum conditions, even to protect their lives during operations. We saw them with shovels and tree branches in their hands, as the main tools to put out the flames.
And this is the first institutional capitulation, whether local or governmental, whether of Civil Emergencies or the Armed Forces, which in peacetime have only one duty: to protect citizens and the territory in cases of natural disasters.
The fight against fires has shown that when firefighting vehicles cannot reach the areas where the fires are, due to the terrain, they wait until a firefighting plane or helicopter from a neighboring country arrives, as if the flames have stopped, and wait for the Government, the Army, Civil Emergencies, or even those who run these sectors, to take measures.
Fires are a story that repeats itself year after year, just like floods. When we face them, we are reminded that certain measures need to be taken, but as soon as the story ends, things don't move forward again and such situations repeat themselves like that movie that is shown once every 3 or 6 months, while we are expected to watch another sequence, while there is only repetition.
Simply the way everyone behaves, from the Prime Minister to the Director of Emergencies, the Minister of Defense or the Interior, is just a show, with the only difference being that 'Babloku' appears with red glasses, and no one stops him from sometimes taking on the role of the police who announces how many arsonists have been arrested and sometimes telling us how many hectares have been burned, how many houses and livestock have been burned, but when he doesn't show what measures he has taken... /Pamphlet/
