Ymer says Pristina shows what municipalities Vetevendosje wants

Vetevendosje Movement Chairman Visar Ymer has declared that the municipality in most cases has been linked to private interest and corrupt administration, turning public goods into market goods where only the powerful have access.

The Ymer made these comments at the table organised by Vetevendosje on the subject “the importance of local power”, where it has candidates for mayors from this subject to commit to making municipalities such as Pristina.

We find opportunities and means to meet their economic needs, as well as live their political, social and environmental rights in the municipality together. It's the place where solidarity is built and shared tasks are undertaken. So we see the municipality as the opposite of the particular, so it's common that it's the opposite of uniqueness and partisanity, because as a whole it's general and as right and as good interest and interest for citizens living in it. Consequently, the municipality cannot discriminate. The right to the municipality goes beyond individual freedom to have access to urban goods”, Ymer said.

He added that if investments in Pristina, health investments, the creation of spaces for local producers are viewed, this clearly shows what society and what municipalities Vetevendosje want.

2013 “Pristina has been returned to citizens, until 2013 equally replaced as territory, such as space, power and administration. The municipality in most cases has been linked to private interest and corrupt administration. Public space has turned us against it as privatised, while public interest has mediated us through private benefits. Power has taken on the personal character that has its connections almost commercially to citizens. This turns us all from citizens to clients, from the benefit of government services. Today's municipality returns public goods to market goods, where only powermakers” have access, Ymer stressed.
