SP: Chrome on mafia’s hand

“Although the miners’ strike ended a few months ago, with an agreement between the Union and concessionary ACR Company, giving only a temporary solution to the miners’ problems; to their families; the city and the citizens that live by the galleries, other facts that appear to be stronger than your political justifications made us understand that the final solution is farther than ever, same as the fatal danger is nearer than ever”, says the letter of the Socialist MP, Saimir Tahiri.

“There are serious doubts that mafia groups, vested with power, are controlling the trade of this mineral by treating the miners as slaves, and using the national wealth as nobody’s property. The mining galleries have turned into the concentration camps of the modern times, where poverty withholds the life and freedoms of the miners and their family members, while the greedy businessmen with government connections profit millions of Euros from the cheap price of the miners’ life, who are obliged by poverty to work as slaves and die inside the galleries”, the letter of the MPs says.

Based on article 8 of the law “for the MPs status”, they have planned 23 questions awaiting answers from Minister Naco, in which the Socialists demand information about the number of miners that have died in the mines since 2000 and until today.

-Which is the legal position of the ACR Company with the Albanian state?
-Who is the real contractor? DARFO is still being a subcontractor of ACR, or ACR has replaced DARFO by changing the name?
-Which is the economic activity of ACR since 2000, when it was initially registered, and until 2007, when the Bulqize mining business started?
-What percentage of the total investments was realized by each concessionary agreement?
-Does METE and you, as Minister of METE, recognize the legal and bounding value of the agreement signed on 9 July 2009, through Minister Ruli and ACR; an agreement that modified the concessionary relations, but that has not passed in Parliament, as the law requires?

The other questions are related with the safety of the life of the people who work in this mine, and the judicial processes where the ACR Company is included. Also the opposition MPs required accessing all communications between the concessionary “Dedeman” Company and METE.
