“The masterminds of this hard-line Chartist-like movement, Sali (former PM Sali Berisha), who throws digital stones, and Ilir (President Ilir Meta), who throws “the Gullible” brand stone and hides his hand, want the airport closed so that the vaccines are not delivered!” Rama said.

“The masterminds will face legal action and will be held to account for breaching the law which forbids the interruption of tower operations by the controllers! The rest should make up their mind right away: Either side with the state and continue work or with the anti-state and face criminal proceedings for threatening national security! PM Rama said.

Meta: Interruption of work is not the way out, ignoring the demands of controllers is not right

President Ilir Meta has reacted over the situation in Rinas, where all flights have been suspended due to the strike of Albcontrol employees.

Through a post on Facebook, Meta states that interrupting the work of air traffic is not a solution.

“I am very concerned about the situation, which is unfolding with the interruption of air services due to the reaction of the Independent Air Transport Control Union, which has not reached an agreement with the Government and the governing bodies of “Albcontrol” on their demands. Interruption of work for the monitoring and control of Air Traffic by the controllers of “Albcontrol” is not the way out. Airspace security in the Republic of Albania is a matter of national security. I have publicly and officially warned all the responsible institutions that they should take concrete measures to resolve this issue. “Ignoring the demands of controllers is not fair,” he said.

Basha: Rama is responsible for this

The Democratic Party head, Lulzim Basha, reacted over the strike of Albcontrol employees, saying that Prime Minister Edi Rama is behind this situation.

“Rama already knows that he will lose, so he is using every dirty trick. Rama himself is behind the strike at the airport that harms the Albanian citizens. He is to blame for all this. “I call on Rama to immediately end the strike and stop the threats against the Albanians who today stand up for the change and hope after 8 years of his failures,” said Basha.
