After 7 protests demanding his resignation, Rama: Those who come to the

Prime Minister Edi Rama has described as nonsense and speculation the massive protests that have been taking place in Tirana for days, with the massive participation of citizens, against the Zvërnec project and beyond. In his podcast 'Flasim', the head of government not only did not at any point show a desire to dialogue with the protesters, but he confidently said that the Zvërnec project will be carried out.

He said that the real residents of Zvërnec are in favor of the project.

"10 years ago, flamingos were killed and eaten. 10 years ago, forests were cut down and trucks with forest wood came from the north to the south. 10 years ago, when there was no mention of protected areas, because protected areas were a godless land. Everything was prey to greed. What would have happened if in these 20 years, we had not expanded the map of protected areas in the territory of Albania. Albania has a reputation, and support from Sweden and other countries. The fact that we cannot imagine, despite the differences we may have in other aspects, that it would take over the presidency of Forest Europe, taking over from Sweden, with the blessing of all countries, with vocal support. This week, Albania has received another piece of good news, the inclusion of Lake Shkodra in Unecso. This is an example of a force that in Albania is not governed by a force that abuses and destroys, but seeks to harmonize both together. If the solution is; either build or conserve, it seems you haven't understood anything. This week I went and met the residents of Zvërnec. In a meeting, for all those who want to know, it is worth much more than any screaming, whining, speculation, from the last few days. There I met people who were insulted, massacred by online flamingos, like people gathered one by one, but they are people who live in that area. They claim their properties there. Where the project will be developed. I didn't go to meet people gathered from Narta down below, but those who are there. Those who have a direct interest, the right to property, or the right to be heard. In the end, everything was positive, between people who discuss like people, who don't throw stones at each other. Despite the demands they had, I didn't hear from them that this investment should be stopped. But I felt concern that; oh my God, don't stop, oh my God, don't lose this thing! This big kennel videos, all these journalists, all kinds of internationals in the media who suddenly became interested in Albania, in the birds of Albania, but they have their own agenda. Some have it with Israel that got in the way of this. There are two brothers who come from Qatar. Some have the president of America, who some love, some hate, some others do not want Albania to have this project, they are in competition. Don't forget that there is a great possibility that this mess, that there is a crowd on the Boulevard, a crowd of biodiversity, of all kinds of characters who seek likes and live with them. Influencers who get money from social networks and don't pay a single lek in taxes. Others who are delirious with the flag tied around their necks and wear the kelesh as a certificate of purity, girls and boys who vent their dissatisfaction. But for the normal crowd to turn into hundreds of thousands of people against, will damage tourism. There have been worrying signs in Saranda, But before it becomes a trend, for those who have booked, to bring in money that will go to families, we will lose a lot of tourists this year. Maybe that's what you want? Maybe."Do you want to live with flamingos? 99% of those who protect them have never seen them with their own eyes. The project will be done, it is a great good for our economy. It is a great project for Vlora, a great epochal leap for Albania's tourism," he said.
