The Democratic Party MP of Albania, Jorida Tabaku, opposed the draft law on tourist ports in the plenary session, which provides for their allocation under strategic investments. During her speech, Tabaku emphasized that the initiative should not be treated as merely a technical issue, but as part of a decision-making model that, according to her, has replaced competition with exceptions and public interest with concentrated favors. "The problem is not in the wording of an article, but in the logic on which this system operates," stated the MP, adding that the draft law is part of a series of initiatives that, according to the opposition, have favored certain interests. According to Tabaku, this law formalizes a practice where strategic investments benefit from public assets, fiscal incentives, and access to strategic infrastructure without undergoing competitive procedures. She also warned that this approach contradicts the principles of the free market and the commitments Albania has in the European integration process, mentioning the potential impact on the chapters of the acquis communautaire and the Stabilization-Association Agreement. Furthermore, the MP raised concerns about the approval procedure of the draft law, emphasizing that it was reviewed in a short time and without extensive parliamentary debate. In conclusion, Tabaku stressed that the Albanian economy needs clear rules and fair competition, while warning that the current model risks damaging the business climate and the country's economic development.
