The decision for the construction of the new Parliament has other bills
that have been paid by the citizens, but that have gone in vain. The government has spent 79 million ALL for the reconstruction of the
current Parliament. Even in this time, the Parliament Speaker promised
more investments in the current Parliament building.
The construction of a new Parliament means that this money was spent in vain. But this is the smallest cost, compared to the financial chaos of this project. The construction of the new Parliament devaluates a 5 million EUR investment undertaken by the Ministry of Culture at the Pyramid, for turning it into a National Theater. Until now, 30% of the works for the theater have finished. By interrupting the works, due to the fact that this building will be demolished for the new Parliament, it means that not only the money spent for 30% of the works went in vain, but also the remaining 70% of this fund.
If the Pyramid will be demolished for leaving space to the new Parliament, architects say that the government will have to pay 10 million EUR for this process.
And there is also another bill that the government has paid in vain. In 2007, this ruling party voted the construction of a new Parliamentary Complex within the space of the Parliament Assembly, the main building of the former communist party. The winning project was selected through a national competition between 108 architectural studios. The winner was a Swiss project.
According to this studio, for realizing the project of the new Parliamentary Complex, the Albanian government has spent 1 million EUR. Even this money of the Albanian tax payers went in vain, and no one has ever answered why.
