The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, from Puka declared that "May 11 is a day for a decisive turning point for Albanians to place their dreams in Albania."
"It is a day for a decisive turning point for these young people to build their Albanian dream in Albania. It is a day for the entire nation for millions of Albanians who left Albania during these 10 years to return, to come to build their dream in Albania and to set Albania on the path to its greatness. My friends, May 11 is a victory not only for the opposition, for the coalition for a Greater Albania, but it is a victory for every Albanian who says dignity, dignity. It is a victory for every Albanian who will not cry every day with cold tears of misery from the great poverty into which the theft of the government has plunged him. It is a victory for every democrat, socialist, non-partisan who believes that in this country one can live with dignity. That the wealth of this country can enrich the citizens of Puka and all of Albania. My friends, these 12 years were the years of a very difficult, very difficult upheaval. "undeservedly. In 2013, the Albanians from Pukë, the Albanians, did not have high salaries, but they had higher salaries than the other 6 nations in the region. They had higher salaries than the Romanians and Bulgarians. In these 10 years, they surpassed us 3 times in pensions and surpassed us about twice in salaries. But not only that, this is only one dark side of the coin of this government. The other equally dark side of this coin, that these men and women, with these pensions and salaries, the lowest in the region, have to go to the shops to buy goods at the most expensive prices.
During these 10 years, the price of food doubled. And today, to buy what they bought in 2013, a pensioner with a pension of 143 thousand lek, had to have a pension of 390 thousand lek", said Berisha, writes A2.
"So there should have been a minimum pension 2 and a half times higher. Likewise the low salary. Likewise the salaryman with the middle salary. What happened? How did we fall this way? Why did others surpass us with pensions three times? Why does the Montenegrin who received a pension of 138 thousand lek in 2013, lower than the Albanian, receive a pension of 450 thousand lek today? Why does the Macedonian who received a pension of 130 thousand lek in 2013 receive a pension of 330 thousand lek today? Why does the Serb, who received a pension of less than 140 thousand lek in 2013, receive a pension of 405 thousand lek today? Why is this? How is it possible? There is only one reason. The governments of these countries, first of all, return the money to those who take it from them, they return it to the citizens. They return it with salaries, pensions, economic aid and services. I invite every socialist, every non-partisan to join us listen. Let's go back to Albania for a moment. What happened in January of this year when the budget of 8 billion euros came to parliament? Edi Rama, immersed with his ministers in unimaginable theft and corruption, had the heartlessness to allocate 8 billion euros for 760 thousand gray-haired, elderly women and men, a total of 16 million. And when we asked for the law on the minimum living wage to be voted on, he said this leads us to the abyss. What abyss did the heartless man fall into?
Why didn't Montenegro fall into the abyss when it tripled pensions? Why didn't Macedonia, Kosovo or Serbia fall into the abyss? Why didn't we fall into the abyss when we increased pensions that were 36 thousand lek to 82 thousand lek? Why didn't we fall into the abyss when we increased average pensions by 60 percent and maximum pensions by 40 percent? "Why didn't we fall into the abyss when we doubled the salaries of teachers, doctors and nurses?" Berisha added. (A2 Televizion)
