"Poverty, emergency"/ Berisha: We will overturn the income
The chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha

On Tuesday, the draft budget of 2025 will be discussed in the Assembly, which has been approved in principle with the votes of the majority.

Regarding the 2025 budget, the chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, held a meeting with experts at the blue headquarters.

Berisha said that poverty and misery are a national emergency, while he emphasized pensions.

He stated that if he comes to power, PD will completely overturn the income distribution model.

"Even after salary increases, because pensions have not increased, we still line up last in the region, but not only do we line up last, but the truth is that the sirens of the pain of poverty and misery are howling today for over 46% of Albanians.

Pensioners are in the most catastrophic, most inhumane, most ruthless situation. Due to inflation, today with all the so-called indexation, the Albanian pensioner buys 30-40% less with his pension than he bought with his pension in 2013.

It is very painful to imagine that the prices in Greece and Italy of basic foods and basic products are clearly lower than in Albania. In relation to the EU average, the prices of basic products are 10-250% cheaper, while the pensioner, if they give him the non-indexed part, if they give him about 450 thousand lek, which, according to experts, is kept with VAT in those, it turns out to be true that they can't get those three meals.

At a time when this attitude was maintained with high salaries. They grew 2 and 3 times. Imagine, Edi Rama, Bajram Begaj, Altin Dumani, take as many as 50 to 70 pensioners, in a degree of extreme inequality. Plus others, who receive economic assistance and there are over 60 thousand families who receive from the old 60 thousand lek.

So, poverty and misery are a national emergency in Albania today. An emergency, to which the DP must and will respond by completely overturning this model of income distribution and in a final way", emphasized the head of the DP./ CNA
