Chairman of the DP Parliamentary Group Gazment Bardhi

The Chairman of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party Gazment Bardhi stated today that the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party has submitted 32 amendments to the 2025 budget in the Assembly, so that according to him the budget should belong to the citizens and not the welfare budget of Prime Minister Edi Rama and a handful of people around him.

"In order for the State Budget 2025 not to be the welfare budget of Edi Rama and a handful of people close to him, but to be the budget of the citizens and which ensures their minimum welfare, the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party has filed 32 amendments", he emphasized White.

The State Budget is the most significant document to understand whether a government works for itself and a handful of people, or works for the welfare of all citizens. Unfortunately, as every year in these 12 years of Edi Rama's bad governance, the State Budget prioritizes the financing of corrupt affairs and does not prioritize problems, concerns or guaranteeing the well-being of citizens.
