Rama announced pension increases/ Tabaku: Government offers alms, not solutions

Democratic Party MP Jorida Tabaku reacted today after Prime Minister Edi Rama announced an increase in pensions in the state budget for 2026.

Through a post on social media, Tabaku ironically says that these promises have been repeated for 13 years and describes them as a mockery of pensioners.

"According to the Prime Minister, pensions will increase by 1,800 lek in the city and 600 lek in the countryside. This means only 60 lek per day, a coffee in the city or 20 lek in the countryside. What can a pensioner do with one more coffee per day? After all these increases, the government offers a handout, not a solution. Pensions today are a handout, not social policy. Albania needs a new, sustainable and dignified scheme for its elderly. The government can distribute free coffee, but it cannot buy the dignity of pensioners," Tabaku said. /CNA
