Researcher Auron Tare has reacted against the interventions being made on the Egnatia Road.
Researcher Auron Tare has raised the alarm about the danger posed to the historic Egnatia Road by the Municipality of Peqin, which is moreover proud of the fact that it is surrounding it with asphalt.
Tare calls on Prime Minister Edi Rama to intervene to stop this foolishness of the Peqin Municipality, so that the part of the Egnatia Route that lies in Albania, one of the 10 most important routes of European civilization, can be saved without delay.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Peqin, Bukurosh Maçi, madly believes that asphalting the sides of the historic road is restoration and in the best interest of the continued existence of the "Via Egnatia".
" The first phase of restoration on the Via Egnatia is nearing completion! The authenticity of the original structure is being preserved, giving life to the stones that carry endless history on their shoulders. This road is not just infrastructure, but a jewel of the cultural heritage of Peqin and Albania ," writes Maçi on social networks, sharing photos from the massacre to the detriment of Cultural Heritage in Albania.
Tara's full post:
Mr. Prime Minister, please intervene and stop this massacre to the detriment of the Cultural Heritage in Albania. Apart from the fact that we are becoming ridiculous in the eyes of the world, we are also destroying the wealth that we have inherited over the centuries.
Our National Heritage cannot be treated in this way, despite all the goodwill that may be the reason for these ridiculous and absurd interventions.
The collapse of national Heritage institutions and the introduction of NGOs, firms and institutions that lack capacity is causing irreversible damage to Heritage.
Via Egnatia one of the 10 most important roads of European civilization. The road where the Roman legions trod during the Civil War of Caesar and Pompey. The road where the Emperors of every Imperial era trod from Rome to Constantinople. From where the Church Fathers brought the biblical messages from Jerusalem. From where the culture of the Orient arrived in Europe. The road from where the barbarians demolished civilizations but without destroying it. The road of the Crusades that flooded towards the East. The road from where the majestic Ottoman Sultans flooded towards Christian Europe. Via Egnatia, the European heritage that fate made pass among us, cannot end up drowned with the asphalt of ignorance.
Look at how our neighbors have taken care of this piece of European heritage. Macedonia, Greece guard it with fanaticism. Look at how Italy restores and protects the Via Appia, the sister of the Egnatia that ran from Rome to Brundisium to connect with the Egnatia.
Via Egnatia is our Road to Europe. Please stop before Europe looks down on us for what we are doing to its Heritage.
