There is water everywhere, except in the tap!
It's a wet day that comes after the summer and spring days. The whole week will be rainy.
The sky has opened, as the EU grants for agriculture were until a few years ago.
The rain falls in torrents, the roads have turned into water channels, cars go rafting on the “Don Bosko” road, Durrës turns into Venice, and poets start poems with raindrops... as the old song said, "And the rain drops, drops, drops..."
In this country blessed by nature from mountains, rivers, springs, lakes, seas and the tears of citizens, water is everywhere... except in the tap.
We have more water sources per capita than any other country in the region. We have springs that burst with enthusiasm, we have rivers that flow with dignity, rainfall that has not stopped since the time of Skanderbeg,
but... the tap, this mysterious creature, lives in anxiety.
There are days when it fills with water, and days when it is filled only with voices:
“It’s coming.”
“It’ll come tonight.”
“There’s a problem with the pump.”
“The network is being worked on.”
“Global warming is to blame.”
“The war in Ukraine is to blame.”
“What can the government do first?”
The promise of 24-hour water has been made so often, so seriously, and so beautifully, that the voter’s mouth remains like that of a fish without water.
First mandate: “We will do the project.” Second mandate: “The project was done, but we are improving it.”
Third mandate: “We have grown to 67%. Fourth mandate: you will have an EU passport and you can drink water anywhere in Europe”.
But why should we drink water in Europe and not in Albania, which is in Europe, where:
There is water that comes out of the ground, but not from the pipe.
There is water that floods the city, but does not fill the bathroom.
There is water that comes in tenders, but not in deposits.
There is water to wash the political conscience, but not to wash a dish.
In documents and reports, water losses are “technical leaks”.
In our homes, there are inflated bills that must be paid.
Albania today is the country where there is more water on Instagram than in the tap.
And in the meantime… it is raining.
Shoes are soaked in water, people walk like ducks, wet, calm and without any hope that the day will come when they can drink water from the tap at home.
The prayers are that one day, as it rains, like today, the tap will feel jealous and decide to leak too.
If not water to drink, at least for statistics. (A2 Televizion)
