Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha has stated that if the DP wins on May 11, the new government will compensate the fashion business for any losses from the fall of the euro.
Berisha made the comments during a meeting at a tailoring business near the Tirana-Durrës highway, where he also presented the program for 'Great Albania,' writes A2 CNN.
Berisha also promised that after May 11, the DP government will reduce the price of electricity from 18 lek to 6 lek.
Excerpt from Berisha's speech:
Only congratulations and assurance that we will make a fiscal revolution.
We will transform the business climate.
This time we have even more experience, and we will quickly establish the most optimal, business-friendly standards.
For all exports, we first guarantee a board that will compensate penny for penny for the decline of the euro, which is a factor that greatly harms any entrepreneur who produces for export.
Second, we will reduce the price of energy from 18 to 6 lek. We will have the lowest price and this is a good benefit for business.
The collapse of the euro is a very big problem.
The place was empty. A week ago I was in Qafë i Malit, a truly impressive investment in the Lajthiza water, an investment of tens of millions of euros.
Workers from Asia, there were also locals, but workers from Asia.
Two days ago I was in Borsh. In Borsh from Myanmar I found it there.
He followed this policy, they should leave because we will take workers from abroad.
But this emptied us, emptied us mercilessly, and has given the country some indicators that no one else has.
Last week, according to the UN, we were the country with the lowest birth rate in the world due to immigration.
Which means that we need to make a huge effort to bring the nation back to the age of youth, because it has actually lost that age.
Over 600,000 young people have fled in 10 years.
The labor sector and the labor market are extremely important. In this regard, we will also have a very close cooperation with entrepreneurship so that there is continuous training.
The state will create all fiscal and other facilities for this process.
We will implement a demographic policy with which we aim to encourage the birth of a third child to the maximum, taking care of it from birth to 23 years of age.
We will do everything to return those who have fled, just as you have returned, a true success story, and today you survive in difficult conditions.
In difficult conditions because of the 35 percent drop in the euro exchange rate and the total ignoring of this drop, because the government has the opportunity to compensate you because you pay your salaries, you have managed to keep it, but others have gone bankrupt. Thousands of workers have lost their jobs.
This is because a deal is made between traffickers and concrete. Between traffickers and the government. This is the truth.
Industrial production has been falling continuously for three years in a row.
From 2023 to 2024, exports, which are production and employment, have fallen by 32 percent.
So a vicious circle has been created.
But we will wait for this vicious circle.
We will get back to business. We need to create a more friendly climate.
For us, the motto will be production, production, production.
Production is employment, production is income, production is development, and we will do everything for production. (A2 Televizion)
