"This year the budget is healthier and the government has shown itself to be more generous in terms of bonus distribution for pensioners. Undoubtedly, the government will also benefit electorally from its measures. When I increase pensions or distribute bonuses every year and this is perceived by the public as good policy, I will definitely reap the electoral result. Berisha did it too. Forget the New Year's Rooster? Berisha used to come out and say that I have provided pensioners with a New Year's turkey".
This is what former minister Damian Gjiknuri, currently deputy and Secretary for Electoral Affairs, said in the show "Off the Record" by Andrea Danglili on A2 CNN.
Gjiknuri emphasized that at the beginning of the next mandate, pensioners will feel the real increase in pensions, especially those with minimum pensions, he said.
"I will also address the issue of increasing pensions in the next SP mandate in the parliament. Now it has started from the fight against informality, as a reform is being made to fill the pension scheme. I have thrown an idea, which I think will be realized during the next mandate. Part of the budget, cutting some expenses, excessive investments, and slightly increasing the public debt, which I believe has gone below 60%. The government is making these calculations because the issue is very sensitive. At the beginning of the next mandate, we will put this thing on the rails, where the pensioners will feel the real increase in pensions, especially those with minimum pensions", said Gjiknuri in the show "Off the Record" by Andrea Dangli.
