Berisha changes his mind and starts criticizing the Zvërnec project, while

The Democratic Party is mobilizing to occupy today's protest for Zvërnec.

After messages in WhatsApp groups calling on DP militants to mobilize and participate in the protest, the leader of the Democrats, Sali Berisha, seems to have changed his mind and has begun criticizing the project.

Initially, he had expressed himself in favor of the investment by attacking the protesters, but now that the protest is entering its second week, Berisha has decided to support the protesters, who have also called for "Berisha in prison."

In a reaction today, regarding Prime Minister Rama's positions, Berisha strongly supported one of the protesters' demands for the cancellation of decisions that threaten the environment.

"Edi Rama used his regular Sunday monologue today to attack, threaten, and belittle tens of thousands of citizens who have been protesting for a week in the most powerful protests against Edi Rama, demanding his resignation, demanding the cancellation of his decisions which are a major threat to the environment in Albania and ultimately disrupt the investment climate in the country.

He again tried to accuse foreign powers, reminded us of the dark times of the dictatorship when the whole world was against us. He invented imaginary enemies and tried to argue for a hybrid war against Albania. The truth is that these protests are based, first and foremost, on the zero-transparency actions of Edi Rama and his government in the investments in Zvërnec.

I say with zero transparency because apart from the figures, several billions of investments, he never undertook to make the slightest transparency on the issue of ownership, on the issue of the environment, on the obligations arising from the process of Albania's membership in the European Union in accordance with the 'Natura 2000' directive of the European Commission. In his monologue he did not say a single word, because Edi Rama signed the development permit in violation of the law, in the presence of judicial conflicts between the parties over the property.

He did not say a single word, whether he, in the obligation, in the major obligation of the process of Albania's integration into the European Union that derives from the 'Natura 2000' directive, has made an appropriate assessment there, has made a strategic assessment there, has made an environmental assessment for this entire project. On the contrary, he told the international media that there is no project.

On the other hand, a development permit can never be approved without a project or at least a draft idea. He did not explain what directives he gave for adapting to the landscape. He did not explain anything except the hybrid war, the threats and cynicism towards the protesters and his boast that as omnipotent he does not ask for anything.

He tried to deceive Albanians that he had taken the presidency of the European Forestry Association at a time when we are the country with the most destroyed and burned, most unprotected forests in Europe. This should evoke a kind of price like the one they received in Mexico for the food sent by Ramiz Ali at a time when two-thirds of the people were in chronic hunger. So, Sunday's monologue was the next Sunday's deception, but this time characterized by an unprecedented cynicism, unrestrained arrogance towards citizens and young people in protest", said Berisha.
