Koçek criticizes the financing of Kanye West's concert: The state is

The former SP MP, Marjana Koçeku, has reacted to the 4 million euros the government provided for the Kanye West concert, stating that this money should have gone to preventing fires.

 "Last year our country went through a fire disaster. I have seen firsthand the extraordinary damage done to nature. This year the situation is expected to be even more alarming due to high temperatures."

"The 4 million euros of a single-use stadium should have been invested in fire prevention, in supporting residents and in strengthening emergency capacities," writes Koçeku.

In the end, she says with irony that the state and accountability are not replaced by spectacle, while adding that "the loss of nature is the loss of Albania."
