On the third day of the action launched by the National Inspectorate of Territorial Protection, with the aim of demolishing unauthorized constructions in Theth, residents have launched a revolt.
Since the early hours of the morning, residents of the village of Theth in Shkodra, organized, have blocked the bridge, preventing the passage of IKMT and State Police officials, writes A2 CNN.
State authorities consider the action illegal, as the residents claim that the buildings are on their land, inherited from generation to generation.
“Our entire life's work is being destroyed,” says one of the residents. The resistance lasted a short time and police forces intervened to free the bridge, clashing with the residents.
The tense situation continued for several minutes, with the police repeating their call to clear the road. The many tourists who had set out to visit Thethi this Wednesday stopped their journey in the middle and became spectators of the clash between residents and police.
After several hours of resistance, the police, along with IKMT officials, managed to enter the village, where the residents again argued with the IKMT director.
The blue uniforms and IKMT officials explained that they will not demolish all buildings, but only those that are unauthorized and that have damaged the nature of Theth. (A2 Televizion)
