Waste Import referendum

“We, the citizens, are facing today an historical moment in which we will apply direct democracy through a referendum, for a matter that belongs to all of us, left and right oriented and even impartial citizens. We invite you to protect our life and that of the future generations by signing this referendum”, declared Aldo Merkoci from “Mjaft” (Enough) Movement.

The representatives of this Alliance declared that they will collect the signatures in different cities of the country until February.

“The goal of this referendum is to say ‘no’ to the foreign waste import law. Let us guarantee the implementation of the law for managing our wastes, which is not affected at all by removing the three articles that we pretend to remove. Our request will be approved after we collect 50.000 signatures from the Albanian citizens”, Kozara Kati declared, representative of the Alliance against Waste Import.

After collecting 50.000 signatures, the Central Election Commission will have to decide for the Referendum through which the Albanians will vote if foreign wastes should be imported or not.
