On Thursday, activists of the Alliance for the Protection of Theater demanded an independent investigation into the demolition of the Theater.
They gathered in front of the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SPAK) to voice their concerns and demand thorough investigations.
In their protest yesterday, the Alliance called for Prime Minister Edi Rama and Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj to resign over their legal violations in the process that brought to the demolition of the theater.
The Special Anti-Corruption Prosecution launched an investigation today into the demolition of the National Theater.
Case prosecutor Ervin Kondilli seized documents from the Municipality of Tirana regarding the procedure followed before and during the demolition.
The lawsuits by the Alliance involve Mayor of Tirana Erion Veliaj, whom they accuse of abuse of power and corruption, and engineers who concluded in their report that the theater should be demolished.
