Çuçi criticizes the Prime Minister: O Rama, where are your institutions?

Former Deputy Minister of Environment, Ornela Çuçi, has reacted to the recent protests in Tirana for the removal of Prime Minister Rama.

Çuçi emphasizes that in recent debates and crises, only the figure of the prime minister appears, while institutions and their leaders remain in the shadows.

It requests explanations from the Ministers of Environment, Economy and Justice on issues related to development projects, the management of protected areas, the economics of strategic investments and property and cadastre issues.

Oh Rame, where are your institutions?

I'm following the Prime Minister's reactions to the protest and I have a simple question for this government.

Oh my government, where are you???? Because you are a government with 84 votes for every decision… Where the hell are you????

This protest, gentlemen ministers, agency directors, chief inspectors, is no longer an issue where the problem is only political. This is an issue that affects the environment, the economy, property, territorial planning, the functioning of the courts, the cadastre and even the very development model that Albania has followed with this prime minister at its head in these years. Therefore, my question is where is the Minister of Environment to explain why it is in the public interest to intervene in a protected area? Where is the former Minister of Environment who changed the law on protected areas to publicly defend that decision and to argue why it was right? Where is the director who copied this law according to political demand/interest?

Where is the Minister of Economy to explain to us the economic logic of this development model? How many jobs are created? How much income is generated? Why is this project considered more valuable than preserving the natural area? How does the strategic investment law work in practice? How have properties been treated? How has private interest been balanced with public interest?

Where is the Minister of Justice to talk to us about the cadastre? For an institution that for years has failed to provide citizens with any legal security over their property. For a well-known directorate in Vlora that has seen more directors than people entering or leaving in 3 years. For the endless conflicts that have arisen precisely from the lack of clarity over property. Where are the directors of the institutions that have signed, approved, licensed, controlled and supervised these processes?

Because the problem is no longer whether you agree or disagree with the protesters. The problem is that in Albania, in this crisis, institutions have completely disappeared and only the Prime Minister appears. And this is not just a communication style. We are dealing with an entire philosophy of governance.

In political philosophy, this is called MONISM. The monism of power, even in our case, is not measured by the number of powers that a leader accumulates, no matter how arrogant he may be, but by the number of voices that remain silent around him. It begins when ministers cease to be authors of policies and turn into secretaries or simply sticks in the heads of ministry specialists to write them. When institutions no longer produce arguments, but tremble from forward messages coming from above. When public responsibility is no longer distributed in the system, but is concentrated only on the one who considers himself God, and in our case, with disciples who have lost their way.

In theory we live in a parliamentary republic with a separation of powers and responsibilities. In practice, every public debate ends with Him. He defends the law on protected areas. He defends strategic investments. He runs the cadastre. He polices. He makes every decision.

If the Minister of Environment cannot defend environmental policy, if the Minister of Economy cannot defend economic policy, and if the Minister of Justice cannot explain the failures of the property system, then what good are they? If your strongest political trio has abandoned you on the road, if some of the main figures of the government of these years are now before the courts, the rest are in the waiting line, and some of the good has been replaced with mannequins who are rarely heard from and even more rarely held accountable, then the question becomes even more legitimate. Where are the people to whom you have delegated the signature? Where are the people who should be held accountable for the decisions they have made?

So my question isn't what he thinks about the chicks with beautiful legs who look great in miniskirts on Instagram.

The legitimate question of every socialist who voted for you is:

Where are the people to whom you have delegated the firm and management team??

That the delegation of the firm in this case is not a delegation of responsibility at all...
