Prime Minister Edi Rama has used the celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Socialist Party to respond to the protests that have been taking place in Tirana for days against the tourist project in Zvërnec and the island of Sazan.
In his speech to the socialists gathered in "Italia" Square, Rama said that the protest was initially born out of legitimate anger, but according to him, it was later fueled by disinformation, half-truths, and content produced on social networks.
" The work led to the fact that precisely in the month of the celebration of the 35th anniversary of the birth of this family for Albania, a large mass of people came out on the surface of the internet channels and a representative community took possession of the boulevard of Tirana every evening. The demand began with the righteous anger of an act of violence and injustice against a major investment that will affect the economic interests of Albania ," declared Rama.
The head of government said that he himself would have been outraged if he had been informed only through social networks and materials that, according to him, were distributed to incite emotional reactions.
" The truth is that even I personally, if I were a citizen who is informed by social networks, hearing and seeing all sorts of half-truths blown up every minute in the whirlpools of channels that have come out of bed with fury and all kinds of videos and photos produced to feed anger, dead pelicans, skyscrapers over the Sazan lagoon, I would have gone out onto the boulevard, terrified. It would seem to me too that this, cooked up behind the backs of the people, united continent by continent to save my country ," he said.
Rama further ridiculed the claims that he said have been raised against the project, saying that if they were true, he too would demand the cancellation of the investment.
" Without a doubt, canceling a criminal project would seem to me the least that could happen ," said the prime minister.
Rama's statements come on the 13th day of citizen protests, as hundreds of protesters have gathered every evening in front of the Prime Minister's Office demanding the cancellation of the project in Zvërnec and Sazan. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister himself chose the 35th anniversary of the Socialist Party to give his most direct response to the revolt that has dominated public debate in recent weeks.
