Six questions, Edit, about the new waste scheme...
Prime Minister Edi Rama has provided much evidence during his 12 years in power, proving that when scandals break out involving the theft of funds in large public investments, carrying them out half-heartedly, he invents other projects and structures to justify them.
Edi Rama implemented this scheme with the centers for the storage, encapsulation and burning of urban waste with incinerators for energy production in Tirana, Elbasan and Fier, with a total financing of 430 million Euros from Albanian taxes.
This waste management project, launched with government fraud for an alleged "environmental emergency", resulted in an affair between Prime Minister Edi Rama and the famous duo Klodian Zoto and Mirel Mërtiri based in offshore channels, to steal millions of Euros under the guise of waste processing, a fact proven by justice.
When he invented landfills with incinerators, Prime Minister Edi Rama said that it was a more standard project like in developed EU countries, and a request from the Council of Europe to open negotiations; which turned out to be a deception, after the EU denied it and opposed the plants that release poisons into the environment.
On August 28, 2025, eight years after making millions of euros with incinerators, but which have not been built in Tirana and are not operating in Fier and Elbasan, Prime Minister Edi Rama published a new project for waste management and processing.
He said that a new legal package for integrated waste management will be approved, with a national operator and a central agency that will take over the waste process throughout the country, removing administration from municipalities.
As with landfills, the Prime Minister said that this new waste scheme he has devised is in line with EU recommendations and integration, according to Chapter No. 27 of the negotiations.
When he devised and financed the landfills with 430 million Euros, which have disappeared along with the Zoto-Mërtiri group, Babloku declared that the waste issue was finally resolved according to EU directives, while now that he has announced the other scheme, he said that the waste issue is the most difficult, the longest in terms of time, and the most financially costly, because we have not given priority to this sector.
Six questions, Edit, about the new waste scheme:
- Why were landfills and incinerators built in 2017, with funding of 430 million Euros, only in Tirana, Elbasan and Fier?
- Are you inventing another scheme to steal millions of Euros, like with landfills and incinerators?
- Why is waste not separated at source in Tirana, when the government pays for this process as a concession in partnership for 84 years, the Italian company "ECO Tirana" of the "Ndraghet'a" group?
- Why is waste not separated at source, even in Durrës, Elbasan, Korçë, Fier, Lushnje, Berat, Vlorë, Lezhë, Shkodër, Pogradec and Saranda, when the government, in the annual urban waste collection fund, has added 30% value for the process of separating it at source?
- Since waste collection will be taken over by municipalities and you stated that the process will be carried out by private companies; who are these companies, for how many years will they receive the waste concession and how much will it cost?
- Where did the 135 million Euros that the government financed for the processing of wastewater and white water waste, spent through tenders by the National Agency for Water Supply, Sewage and Waste Infrastructure (AKUM) over the last 10 years, end up?/ Pamphlet
