Journalist Ola Xama has expressed her positive opinion about opposition candidate Florjan Binaj for the Municipality of Tirana.
Xama has stated that the alternative of a candidate who comes from outside political parties and is supported by the opposition is news of hope for those who live the stress of the city of Tirana every day.
The journalist expressed support for Binaj, saying that he is a figure who has been critical and opposed to the government.
"The alternative of a candidate who comes from outside political parties and is supported by the opposition is news of hope for those of us who live the stress of the city of Tirana every day."
If the short time and media factor allow, the campaign does not have to offer miracles, promises of radical changes, or free services.
Tirana needs management.
Clean air that comes from a controlled development of the construction sector based on needs, while creating more parks in parallel.
Providing a parking solution that saves traffic, hours and money for the capital's residents.
Starting the process of waste differentiation at source and investing in its recycling.
Good management, starting with the closure of dozens of parasitic public enterprises in the municipality, the narrowing of the administration structure that harvests a significant portion of the budget, and fair competition in procurement.
In the tenders held by the Municipality of Tirana, I have seen strange things, 300 thousand euros for strategies written by Chat GPT on how to protect ourselves from natural disasters and no investment in equipment to protect against these disasters.
Roads that are torn down and rebuilt every year, bike lanes that suffer the same fate, paving and filling with taxpayers' money for asphalt that is torn up by the construction of buildings or internet fibers...
From these alone, at least half of the municipality's budget expenditures are saved.
And yet there is no need for free services, but for dignified services that we do not receive because the money we pay for taxes and fees has ended up in corruption schemes.
Good services, clean air, less traffic and more art.
That's what the candidate for Mayor of Tirana should promise. Miracles don't happen in a year and a half, but these few points are made in 6 months.
The step back of the opposition parties to support a figure who is not controlled by politics is an opportunity that we as citizens should not miss.
Personally, I have great respect for the education and citizenship that Ermal Hasimja has had and that he has shown today - a dignified candidacy, but also for the activism and contribution given to many causes by Florjan Binaj.
Flori was critical and opposed to the government before 2013 and remained critical when the political rotation did not bring change, even at personal cost.
These choices of his, before the temptation of the positions and funds that other colleagues chose, show enough about the integrity he has! ", said Xama./ CNA
