"We don't want handouts from the government"/ Fidel Ylli request

The head of the Albanian Olympic Committee, Fidel Ylli, has requested that Albania provide a budget for sports and not treat them as if they want alms.

During his speech, at the reception ceremony this Monday, he asked Prime Minister Edi Rama to "bring the betting companies out of the darkness, which according to him are lying".

“Sportistët shqiptarë nuk marrin më rrugën e emigrimit për flamuj të tjerë. Luiza është anëtare e Forcave të Armatosura, duhet ta falënderojmë ministri Peleshi për ndihmën e dhënë. Ne nuk kërkojmë lëmoshë nga qeveria zoti kryeministër, ne qeverinë e duam partner. Zoti kryeministër do të të bëja një thirrje, nxirri ato kompani bastesh që gëlojnë. Ato para t’ua japim shpërblime elitare sportistëve, për të rregulluar atë Pallat Sportesh, për të ringritur palestra vende. Ne nuk mund të kërkojmë lëmoshë nga buxheti i shteti, kaq është buxheti i shtetit.

I have been in the Parliament and I know how the State budget is divided and how much it is, but it gets dark, anonymous people, why should this happen? It was very good that they were closed, near every institution, every school, there were 10 betting shops under the buildings, but the time has come to do a study, are we so rich that we leave this money on the street? How big are we? a study should be done Mr. Prime Minister, there are betting companies in Italy. We can't stay in that Sports Palace, Mr. Prime Minister, we need to do the Olympic games, we have a step of our own that we need to show and promote that Albania has made reforms. We received two projects from the European Commission," Ylli said, among other things. said Ylli. /CNA.al
