The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, has stated that in the first 100 days of the DP government after May 11, a living wage of 200 euros will be established.
Berisha made the comments during a meeting with citizens at branch no. 4 in Tirana, where he also presented the program for 'Great Albania'.
Berisha also said that with the living wage of 200 euros, the next DP government will give new life to Albania and lift Albanians out of misery, writes A2 CNN.
Excerpt from Berisha's speech:
Dear citizens of neighborhood 4, Tiranas, Denbamaden, Dibra, Gollobordas, newcomers with whom I have lived for years in a building, because I am a resident of this neighborhood, a leper, a mountaineer, a community with different backgrounds, but a wonderful community of honest, hardworking and dignified people.
I express my great pleasure to be with you today and come here to present our candidates for deputies in this neighborhood, your excellent representatives, Lisandër Hoxha, Kreshnik Çollaku, Revelino Çuni, a dignified representative of the Roma-Egyptian community, a true democrat.
Dear Besart Xhaferi, chairman of the FRPD and political leader of this branch, Endrison Breçani, chairman of the branch.
Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends.
Every day that separates us from May 11 is an appeal, a cry for us. They are the sirens that invite us to make all our efforts for the brilliant, historic victory that awaits the residents of neighborhood number 4 and Albanians in all four corners of the country.
Last night after midnight I returned from a tour of southern Albania. I found the south on its feet, more determined, more ready than ever, to separate itself from this great evil, from this serious disease, which is called Edi Rama and his regime.
Dear friends!
We have a huge advantage over our opponent today.
We have strong support, an enthusiasm unseen before.
We have a program that truly, every hour and every day, is increasingly occupying the minds and hearts of hundreds and thousands of Albanians.
This program, dear friends, has as its main, most important goal a new opportunity for every Albanian, from children to a better school.
To retirees, for a better life.
For young people, for real education and employment opportunities.
To businesses for real chances of success.
To employees, improvement and respect for their work.
But first and foremost, there is the return of Albanian money to citizens.
My friends!
Today, you, each and every one of you, both those who work and those who don't work, both those who have a business, both those who have a car and those who don't have a car, every single person, both the newborn child and the elderly, pay the heaviest taxes to this government.
And what if today we have 21% of families in this country that cannot feed their children 3 meals a day?
In the event that today we have hundreds and thousands of pensioners who cannot buy their medications.
If today we have hundreds of young people every day who have only one alternative, leaving Albania, all of this has only one cause: The embezzlement, the theft of your taxes, by Edi Rama's regime, by Edi Rama, his ministers and officials.
That's why I stand before you today to promise you that in the first 100 days, we will achieve a change that no one here has ever imagined.
In the first 100 days, my friends, we will establish a living wage of 200 euros for every pensioner.
For every citizen on economic assistance, for every unemployed person, for every orphan who has only one parent, for every student on scholarship, and with this amount, we guarantee for these citizens who count their bread 6.3 euros a day, it is little, but it is not misery.
With this indicator, we compare ourselves with other countries that do not accept that their citizens are in misery.
With this amount, we make Albania fairer, our society fairer, and thus give it a new lease of life. (A2 Televizion)
