The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, has accused Prime Minister Edi Rama and his government ministers of killing competition in tourism.
Berisha made the comments during a conversation with tourism associations in the country, where he said that the government supports people with criminal records to obtain permits for hotels and motels.
He also said that Edi Rama stole 24 hectares of land, just because he is prime minister.
Excerpt from Berisha's speech:
The tourism industry faces many difficulties.
There is no support.
Some like Pëllumb Gjoka or others, because there are plenty of them, who get permits for hotels, have motels, declare their hotels 5 stars, and even give casino licenses to the Sinaloa boss, Luftim Hys, who of course, with Sinaloa's income, deeply damages the tourism industry.
He has no income from his job.
The narcoeuro is a toxic currency for the tourism industry, for exports, for the Albanian economy.
But in a narco-state, there is no narco-state without its own currency and the narco-dictator, who has transformed these strategic titles into the biggest gamble not in Albania, but in Europe.
That such a title is rewarded with millions of narco euros.
Plus, government involvement in the tourism industry is another extremely harmful element.
Now when Olta Xhaçka goes and steals 10,000 square meters of public land with her husband and presents it as her own inherited land, can you tell me what is left for this operator, this investor who buys the land for 150 euros or 100 euros to build on?
Edi Rama himself goes and takes 225 thousand square meters of land in the name of his mother and brother, land without any cadastral documents.
Land without any documents proving that it was confiscated by the communist regime.
Land that could belong to anyone, but not to the Koleks, since Spiro Kolek himself says they had no land. He says we had no land, his nephew ends up with 24 hectares since he became prime minister.
But this kills fair competition in a barbaric way.
Vilma Nushi. The poorest Nushi there. She goes and builds the tourist village without permission, without anything.
In this respect, these gentlemen who survive this competition, this jungle that the government has created in this industry, are true heroes because they are placed in the most unequal conditions.
Everywhere industry is delicate.
Hospitality everywhere is delicate.
The restaurant system everywhere is delicate and requires good management, but it also requires honest rules.
And they face a real jungle led by the government. (A2 Televizion)
