Dhurata Çupi: Urgent need to increase the number of municipalities, Berisha included me in the protest working group without asking me

The Territorial Reform, which has been in force since 2014 for the Democratic Party, has failed, therefore the aim is to increase the number of Municipalities. While she was invited to a television studio, the democratic MP Dhurata Çupi said yesterday that it is an urgent need for the citizens to return the service to the citizens, as according to her it has been missing until now. "Services are far from the citizens, we agree in the age of technology, but there is a third age group that does not have access, there are some services that must be obtained in the municipality and the citizens are further than ever from the center of the Municipality, there are significant problems that have been deepened towards regression not progress in 2014. Do we discuss that citizens should travel for hours to get a service, or improve the infrastructure, or you will bring the public entity closer to the citizen and to do this, logic leads to the need to increase the number of municipalities. Electoral accounts should not prevail over the intentions of citizens. The number of Municipalities should be increased, today it is urgent for the municipality to serve the citizens. We have heard several civil society organizations. No expert says that this reform is successful", she declared. Also, the democratic deputy says that the power is concentrated in the hands of the government and thus considers the decision to merge some directorates of water supply, considering it as wrong that it has hidden electoral goals. "There is no decentralization. We lack financial autonomy, the municipalities in 99% of the income fill less than 50% of their budget. In all services of the Municipality, the level of fees and local taxes have increased and these are the revenues of the municipality and the rest of the central government", she said. Meanwhile, deputy Çupi also stopped at the working group in the district of Dibra set up for Sali Berisha's protest, where she was a member. Çupi, like Korreshi, said that he was not asked in advance, but despite this he added that he will participate. "I was part of the group, I was not notified before, I was notified by Çlirim Gjata, I will be at the protest, that there are reasons to protest against Rama, but I have not taken my political opinion, but as a citizen I will be at the protest", Çupi underlined. just like Korreshi said that he was not asked in advance, but despite this he added that he will participate.
