Linda Rama: Between Family, Work and Albania’s Future
The Albanian Parliament Speaker, Jozefina Topalli, interrupted the
Parliamentary session after the Socialist Group leader, Gramoz Ruci,
started talking about the emergency situation created by the heavy snow
in northern and northeastern Albania.
Topalli declared that the emergency situation will be discussed by the end of the session. After some minutes, the session restarted again, focusing on the snow emergency.
The Socialist MP, Erjon Brace, presented in the plenary session the mid-term plan created by the Socialist Party, which aims to help overcoming the current situation and preparing for future possible emergencies.
The plan is extended in three main directions, for helping the isolated residents with special funds, encouraging the recovery of their agricultural economy and giving a special status to the high-risk areas, which must be identified first.
Brace proposed the creation of a fund for easing the damages caused by the bad weather in the isolated areas, mainly in agriculture and farming. They also proposed thes ecuring of food and medicines for the isolated residents; securing the basic food for the livestock for two months and also food for the families that have been damaged by the isolation.
The second direction is the preparation of funds and structures for facing similar situations in the future. The Socialists say that they need a reorganization for the maintenance of the national and local roads; a specific fund for the logistics in emergency zones, in order to reduce the consequences.
The third direction of the plan is the energy. Brace underlined that they need a better planning for energy, and a fund that should be managed by the Energy Regulation Entity.
Patozi: Parliament doesn’t approve plans
The Democratic Parliamentary Group leader, Astrit Patozi, declared that the Albanian parliament doesn’t approve plans, but laws and decisions that help the isolated persons.
“The opposition should not meddle with the government’s business in critical moments. The people cannot be helped through Twitter and Facebook. The only goal of this plan that has been presented in the Parliament, is to delay the Ministries from helping the residents”, Patozi declared.
According to Patozi, the Socialist plan is against the citizens that need a concrete help.
“Please note every problem that you see, to discuss it when the problem is over. Don’t bring other problems in this already difficult situation”, Patozi declared.
