Berisha: The Palace of Brigades risks being filled with towers. Our plan for

Chief Democrat Sali Berisha raises the alarm that the Palace of Brigades in Tirana is in danger of being filled with towers.

Speaking at a meeting where the destruction of cultural heritage was discussed, Berisha called the phenomenon a disaster for Tirana's identity.

" We had a project with Italian cooperation, it is a legacy of their period and it was an 8-11 million euro project for its restoration. Now it is no longer talked about, because the practice is to destroy to transform.

I have not heard of a project that the Italian cooperative was fully engaged in, as the Theater was, as they all were. He will also suffer the fate if it continues in this way, that is, an alienation, it will be filled with towers, with clubs. For us, this is an insult to Tirana's identity. We will do everything to save as much as we can. With this powerful wave of destruction and transformation, traces of heritage are disappearing and will disappear," said Berisha.

Berisha also spoke about the DP's urban plan for Tirana, which provided for 5-8 storey buildings, unlike Rama, who according to him erected a 35-storey tower.

"We had an urban plan for Tirana. That plan was made. Edi Rama didn't do it for 11 years because he didn't want to. It was done for two years. There were 5-8 storey constructions, and today where 5 storeys were designated, there are 35 storeys. But the plan, I know people who wanted to increase construction from 7 to 8-9 and it was not done. The plan was clearly defined. The towers were not defined. There was no space for a tower, but for buildings up to 8 floors and the others less," said Berisha.
