Unit 2 in Tirana, with destroyed roads/ Residents: We pay taxes and do not

About 1 kilometer from the office of the Municipality of Tirana, all the secondary roads of Neighborhood no. 2 in Tirana are unfurnished.

Administrative Unit No. 2, in the heart of Tirana, is completely destroyed roads. From the field observation of the spokesperson of the campaign for the Municipality of Tirana Silvi Bardhi, as evidence of zero investments in this area, it was noticed that the road near the offices of the municipal unit No. 2 was destroyed.

During the conversation with the residents of one of the old neighborhoods of Tirana, near the "Tabaki Mosque", they expressed concern about the lack of road paving, lack of sidewalks, lack of greenery, hygiene and chaos in parking.

Residents say that they pay their taxes regularly, but they do not receive services.

"The road has been like this here, it has never been paved, it has not been paved for years. Or it is paved enough to pass the queue. A good road paving has not been done in this neighborhood here," said a resident.

"I have lived in this neighborhood since 1980. The garbage is never removed. The road used to be paved here. When we arrived at first it was orderly, then there were these people and they removed the sidewalk. Here it is like in the village, when it rains, the mud becomes knee-deep. Aren't we like everyone else, why is everything being fixed and our neighborhood is not fixed? For what reason? We also give votes and all obligations, they take the money from us, for drinking water, cleaning, greenery. Sometimes we see those cleaning people, but what to clean, see how your cars are. There are times when I go out in the morning with my son to take him to the nursery in a stroller, I have to lift the stroller to see where the entrance is, lift the stroller to enter the house. Help the evil one to get the child out of the entrance of the palace," said a lady.

"I don't understand once what is done here, he remembers, I did this, I did that. Where did he do it? Come here once in the middle of Tirana, what are you doing here? There are no more votes. We are not going anywhere, we will stay here," said another resident of the neighborhood near the Tabake Mosque.

"It has been 30 years since this neighborhood has not been abandoned. Only private works have been done from all sides," said another.

Excerpts from the conversation:

- I do 20 times motorcycle tires. Every month I have to get the tire punctured.

- Do you, as a resident, as a family member, pay the taxes for these roads to be fixed?

- Everything, the only problem here is that it is not given up, no, there are many expenses, no, we don't pay, that a part is private and a part is not private, how do I know which part is private, why should it be? Trash cans are private can you explain to me why trash cans can be private?

- Here you have Minibashkina no. 2, what do they do?

- For me they are zero.

- Yes, Erion Veliaj says that every road has been paved.

- Erion only praises himself, leave him and Erion and Rama only talk.

This is the situation that the residents themselves reflected, Erion Veliaj continues with his propaganda with electoral asphalt, but the truth is this, the heart of Tirana is destroyed and Erion Veliaj's work not done in 8 years cannot cover his urgency ./ CNA.al
