Outer ring project, DP: "A mafia scheme"

The Democratic Party says that after the project for the expansion of the New Ring road is just another mafia scheme, on the grounds that for only 3 kilometers of road, a cost of 40 million Euros has been estimated.

DP spokesperson, Ina Zhupa, says the winner of the tender was predetermined, with only three proposals submitted and furthermore, only one which met the criteria.

The Democratic Party today accused the Prime Minister and the Mayor of Tirana of having implemented a corrupt scheme given that the cost is 40 million Euros for less than 3 kilometers of the New Ring. 

“For 10 days, over 2,000 residents in the New Ring area are protesting to claim compensation for their homes that will be destroyed for the New Ring project.

“For 10 days, the Government and the Municipality have remained silent, ignoring over 300 families.

“Edi Rama and Erion Veliaj are silent, because they have implemented a corrupt scheme,” concluded Ina Zhupa.

Furthermore, the winner of the tender, according to Democratic Party, is a company with legal problems.

The Democratic Party has called on the Government and the Municipality to compensate residents affected by the construction of the New Ring Road.
