The Mayor of Divjaka Municipality, Josif Gorrea, provided clarifications at the Municipal Council meeting regarding his position at the meeting held in Kuç with Prime Minister Edi Rama, where the Territorial Reform was discussed.
Gorrea said that the meeting was closed, while emphasizing that his position on preserving the Divjaka Municipality has not changed.
“It was a closed meeting. It was discussed at length as a political group, which I call a big step forward. We each expressed our opinion. The Prime Minister of the country left the conversation open. Everyone expressed their pure opinion. Some excited and hasty mayors interrupted his speech, as if it had happened here too
I am speaking clearly about what happened. Even in that meeting, I had no obligation to speak for others, but for myself. My position has been clear. It has not changed at any point from what I have stated. Even in that meeting, I strongly defended the idea that the municipality should remain. First of all, there are some inconsistencies in the Maznik Commission.
I caught some mistakes that I will let you know. Second, I made a comparison between Lushnje and Divjaka. Perhaps the Commission in that quote refers to the fact that we held a meeting that we were present at.
“In that meeting, again, you may have seen it in the media, senior representatives of the Socialist Party clearly stated that there will be no changes in the Fier region. I strongly defended the fact that I was not informed. I reiterated what I said above,” Gorrea said, among other things.
