Roads - Meta's success

What has stood out during the hot days of July is that they have been turned into construction sites. This is reflected most clearly in the government as well. But elsewhere they have been built in all four corners of the country. Beyond other infrastructure initiatives in the country, such a belief, the first of Albanian industry, comes from his predecessor, who did not deal with strengthening the state, but put it into practice, as his predecessors at the top had done. It was entirely clear that the development of a country lies first and foremost in roads, that the civilization of a country lies first and foremost in roads connecting cities with one another, in roads linking centers with other centers of the country. This has been strongly stated in the country's governance. This has also been strongly stated by previous governments, but even with infrastructure implementation, the roads of a country are the best mirror, the book of everything, the roads of a country! The machinery that had been left for use after a long interruption began for the first time to underscore the vital importance it has for the future of the government and of Albanians, but in a way that its change, without confusion and quickly, is also a major contribution to identifying Ilir Meta with the country's development. Meta is proving in deeds and not in words this decision not to leave roads to be opened only for the sake of inaugurations, but to complete them at a spectacular pace. Whether it is the important road axis that is still being worked on for the southern corridor and all road segments, or for all transport operators, especially foreign ones, they are putting on that first spectacle, to show that things are being done. This was also reflected in all road segments, but through the pulling back of the operations. Over time, it seems that governance has taken shape and is becoming increasingly mobilized in the road sector and has, for the first time, put the ministry's initiative at the disposal of transport operators. Tirana has likewise had roads occupied by extensive works, which undoubtedly serve growth and smooth traffic. The same is happening in paralysis on the main road, so that vehicles remain where they should. Transporters do this through the inauguration of large segments, though rarely with such infrastructure. This makes this government see the great challenge of infrastructure as the indispensable road for governing the country. Transformed by the length of the roads, in relation to the lack of infrastructure, the mountain roads until now have been in a pitiful state, without signage, with many potholes and without asphalt. This was a major problem created by the entire Albanian transition. Meta took the challenge seriously and turned it into practice, as his predecessors had promised. This is perhaps the most positive thing for his government. At least so far. What has stood out during the hot days of July is that they have been turned into construction sites. This is reflected most clearly in the government as well. But elsewhere they have been built in all four corners of the country. This is reflected very clearly in the organization of the new prime minister.
