Berisha: The central axis of the campaign should be the economy, the economy and only the economy

The chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, in a meeting with the working groups of Tirana, declared that "the central axis of this campaign should be the economy, the economy and only the economy".

"In this campaign, the central axis of the campaign will be the economy, the economy, the economy. Why? Because we are in a reality that absolutely exceeds almost any kind of imagination. We are in a very painful reality. We are in a devastating reality for people. These days I was reading a very sad thing. In 2013, we were paid, Albanians were paid not only more than the countries of the Western Balkans, but also that Romanians and Bulgarians are at least 5 times better than in 2013. I read it yesterday. Five times the salaries from 2013. When you see this, you realize that there is nothing more ruthless, more criminal than what happened to the daily life of Albanian citizens. I tell you honestly, that the Romanian government has increased the salary 5 times from 2013 to last year, while we have pensions today, at least 30 percent lower than in 2013. Today I was reading, INSTAT data shows that inflation for basic things is up to 9 times higher than the average inflation. So, the inflation of meat, cheese, milk, etc., compared to the year 2022, reaches up to 9 times more. However, all those who live on a pension, with low salaries, with economic assistance, those incomes go to buy these things", said Berisha, writes A2.

"So do you understand where it has ended? This is the absolute cause of the mass departure of Albanians. We say and tell the truth that there are a series of causes, but the cause of all the causes is lack. I remember in 1990, a neighbor , the son was a worker and said to his mother, "Buy me a shirt. I don't have any. He ran away and entered the embassy. There is no need to you enter the embassy, ​​run away. I don't have your life. We shouldn't think that these are the same percentage. No, these are the biggest pain Absolute injustice. We have increased salaries 5 and 6 times. Albania has salaries of 7 thousand. Yes, high salaries have increased scary," added the leader of the Democratic Party. (A2 Televizion)
