Prime Minister Rama seems to have decided to dismiss all directors in the country's main municipalities. After Vlora, today he stopped in Durres and Fier.
The first meeting was in Fier, where Rama requested that all directors submit their resignations en bloc. He then went to Durrës, where he gave the same directives. According to him, a refresher is needed in all sectors. Meanwhile, he asked former candidates and MPs to go out into the field, talk to citizens and listen to their complaints.
It is also learned that the meetings were high-pitched, as Rama demands seriousness in the action to free up public spaces.
The Mayor of Vlora, Ermal Dredha, has signed the resignations of all the directors who resigned after Prime Minister Rama's ultimatum. He had meetings with them and finally decided to sign the resignations.
Meanwhile, it is expected that in the coming days, the new names that will take charge of key sectors in the Municipality of Vlora will be made official.
On the other hand, the storm seems to have reached Fier and Durrës as well. The Prime Minister had a meeting today with representatives of the Municipality in Fier and gave the same directives: all directors to resign. Meanwhile, it is learned that he has just arrived in Durrës, where the same retaliation is expected.
Edi Rama's storm in Vlora did not spare the leaders of the Socialist Party in this region either. Admir Malaj and Vilma Bello will no longer be co-chairs of the branch, while Klevis Kaso has been appointed as the chairman of the Vlora Socialist Party, while Erjona Ismaili has been appointed co-chair.
Today, their presentation was made by the district leader, Bledar Çuçi.
" At the meeting of the SP Assembly for the passing of the baton of party leadership to the two new co-chairs, Erjona Ismaili and Klevis Kaso. Thank you to Vilma and Pirro for the excellent work they did during these intense months of our electoral organization, which was rewarded with the historic victory of May 11, with a full 9 mandates like never before. Now is the time to look ahead, to be closer to the people, to better address their concerns and needs and to do everything we need to do for Vlora 2030. Much success to Erjona and Klevis ," writes Çuçi.
Following the order of Edi Rama, an action has been launched by local authorities in Vlora to clear public spaces.
The action has put dozens of businesses along the Lungomare, one of the most frequented tourist areas on the southern coast, on alert. The operation aims to remove all objects in public spaces, but has sparked strong reactions from local entrepreneurs, who say they were caught by surprise and at the worst possible moment.
“How can you tear us down when it is the most important month of the year for us?” says one of the businessmen. He adds that the action should have been taken either before the elections, or after the end of the season, so as not to seriously affect the vital income of tourism operators.
Another citizen, who returned from abroad to open a business on Lungomare, confides with disappointment: "I've been opening the bar for a month. I invested everything. It's my first year here, I came back with great desire, but now I'm thinking of leaving again. You can't be hit like this without warning, in the name of an action that could be done later."
The voices of concern do not stop there. All citizens and local entrepreneurs are of one mind: the implementation of the law is necessary, but not at this time. According to them, this action not only leads them to bankruptcy, but also seriously damages the image of Vlora in the face of thousands of tourists who have begun to descend on the coast.
"Give us time, postpone it until after the season. No one is trying to break the law, but we are asking to be treated as people who work and support their families with this work," appeals another citizen.
More details have emerged from Prime Minister Edi Rama's meeting with the leaders of the Municipality of Fier. According to sources, he has requested the resignation of all the heads of regional directorates in Fier, the two deputy mayors and the heads of the municipality's departments.
The meeting is said to have been very 'heated'. Rama was outraged in his speech, stating that the citizens gave them a fourth mandate and it is not possible for a large number of directors to receive their salaries and do nothing. According to sources, there were raised voices and ultimatums.
The main focus has been on public spaces. According to Rama, premises and businesses have occupied common space and many directors are not doing their job properly. He has requested that action be initiated there as well to free up the spaces.
After the meeting, the next show is expected, where Rama will go for a walk in the city and see up close how the sidewalks and parks have been occupied.
Accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, political leader in the Fier Region, Prime Minister Edi Rama has landed in Fier, where he has requested the resignation of the heads of institutions and officials of the Municipality, as part of what he considers a self-purification process.
Rama began his visit to Fier with a meeting at the Municipality, with an almost identical scenario to that of Vlora, where within 24 hours, he forced the deputy mayors and heads of local institutions to resign.
From the first reports regarding the ongoing meeting in Fier, Rama has requested that the self-purification process continue, while he has requested the resignation of officials who have not fulfilled expectations and duties. Otherwise, they will face dismissals and dismissals. And in this context, they are clear that resignation remains the best option. At least this has happened to date in cases where the Prime Minister has targeted them as incompetent, or failing to fulfill promises.
In this context, it is expected that within the next 24 hours, what was seen in Vlora with the departures of officials and leaders of local institutions will also happen in Fier.
Mayor Armando Subashi is expected to appoint new names not only to the Municipality's administration, but also to subordinate institutions.
It is not yet known how many local officials may be replaced in Fier, but it seems that after May 11, when Edi Rama took office for the 4th consecutive term as Prime Minister, with a formidable majority of 83 mandates, a 'cleansing' process has begun not only in the ranks of the local government, but also in the leadership structures of the SP branches.
Rama was very critical at the meeting, demanding that all directors submit their resignations en masse...
After Vlora, it seems that the storm of layoffs has also affected the Municipality of Fier.
As previously announced, Rama arrived in Fier a little while ago, where he began a meeting with Mayor Subashi, all the directors of the municipality and the deputies of the area.
Also present is the political leader of the region, Belinda Balluku. Also present is the Minister of State for Local Government, Arbjan Mazniku.
According to sources, Rama was extremely critical at the meeting, demanding that all directors submit their resignations en masse.
All heads of regional directorates in Fier, two deputy mayors and heads of municipal departments have been asked to resign, while it is learned that the wave of dismissals will include everyone without exception.
It is also learned that Prime Minister Rama has spoken in harsh tones about the occupation of public spaces, the cleanliness of the city and the disrespect of citizens. " They have valued us with their votes, so this trust will translate into respect for them ," he said.
Earlier, Prime Minister Edi Rama said that it is necessary to self-clean the structure in the municipalities of Fier and Durrës, where he will hold meetings in the afternoon.
He emphasized that fresh eyes, increased effort, and a new impetus are needed for the thousands of citizens who supported them on May 11.
" This afternoon we are in Fier and then in Durrës, where we will continue the same effort. A self-purification and internal self-calming of the structure. Necessity after a long period of staying in the same positions with the same people, but also as a result of the necessity to see the reality of our large cities as a reality in constant transformation."
"We need fresh eyes, we need an increased effort, a new impetus, because 12 mandates in Fier are history, written by tens of thousands of our supporters in the area, the diaspora, which seeks to continue to be written as a new chapter, who need more quality of life ," Rama said during a Facebook communication.
