Amidst road scandals, floods and corruption allegations, the SP meeting turned into a parade of optimistic statements, where ministers talked about millions of euros, IPARD and Artificial Intelligence...
As Albania simmers with government scandals, Edi Rama organized a meeting of the parliamentary group, a meeting to throw ashes in the eyes of Albanians and send a message to justice that it cannot get any closer to them.
In addition to Rama's two-hour speech, which did not mention the corruption that has scandalized the EU or the scandals with Albania's roads, ministers have been speaking since morning, competing to show who has been the most successful.
While the Southeast is completely isolated and hundreds of citizens travel for hours to get to Korça and vice versa, a few weeks ago Durrës, Vlora, Gjirokastra, etc. were flooded, Minister Pirro Vengu has spoken about increasing funds for roads and emergencies.
" Recently, 10 million euros of newly distributed funds for dams, river dams and bridges for all municipalities. Renewal of the national emergency fleet, firefighters. We have an additional 2 million euros where the National Civil Protection Agency and KAYO will produce 'Made in Albania' and in May we will have the start of these tools, which will be distributed to municipalities. The focus is prevention in terms of river dams, dams and addressing the flood damage of recent months ," said Vengu, among other things.
On the other hand, as Albanians have left and are being replaced with Bangladeshis and Pakistanis, the Minister of State for Public Administration and Anti-Corruption, Adea Pirdeni, has stated that hiring will be done with Artificial Intelligence.
" We will also have a completely revised administration employment portal, in collaboration with the Minister of Economy and Innovation, to guarantee that all calls for vacant positions in the public administration, whether civil service or not, including all state-owned joint-stock companies, are published through the portal, and the portal, through an Artificial Intelligence injection element, can also match each candidate with each vacant job position ," said Pirdeni.
The Minister of Finance, Petrit Malaj, who sees dreams with his eyes wide open, was also on the same line. According to him, the aim is to reactivate IPARD funds (something that the government does not have control over), while he again focused on Artificial Intelligence.
" Just as we have a priority to obtain accreditation and implementation of the IPARD III Program within this year; Also, 2026 will be the year of Artificial Intelligence, where we will expand and deepen the implementation of AI modules in taxes and customs, with the aim of increasing revenues, reducing and increasing the quality of service," he said.
While Minister Albana Koçiu spoke about addresses, illegal construction and "Smart City", but not for a moment about crime and gangs.
" Smart City is 5 thousand quality cameras that will be installed on main roads, there are over 20 schools that will be monitored, all of this to further increase the standard and security of our communities ," added Koçiu.
So, it seems that today's meeting was a meeting where Rama is trying to improve his image in the face of external pressures, internal protests and citizen opinion. / Pamphlet
