"Rama has turned into a curse", Berisha: Every Albanian has benefited

Berisha : Edi Rama and his tourist televisions, from morning until dinner, are trumpeting that last year they received 10.1 million tourists.
However, the statistics of the narco-government of Edi Rama say that in 109 thousand tourist beds in Albania, a total of 6 million nights of sleep were recorded.
So, my friends, with this calculation, every tourist slept in Albania for two hours more than half the night, or one hour more than half the night.
Out of 10 million, there are 6 million nights.
Excuse me, I'm not going far, neither to Spain, nor to Italy, France or any other country, but I'm stopping here in Montenegro, 100 or so kilometers from here.
Last year, this country registered 2.6 million arrivals in Montenegro. And it has recorded 16.3 million nights of sleep.
So, the tourist in Montenegro, 180 kilometers from Tirana, recorded 2.6 million, 16.3 million nights, or 6.2 nights per tourist.
So, my friends, it has registered more than 10 times the number of nights for tourists in Albania.
So, the citizen of Montenegro has benefited from the taxes of these overnight stays, 10 times more than the citizen of Albania.
10 times more, but I'm taking the data as is.
Where did these go? That all these 10 times less for the Albanians then, went to the bank accounts of Edi Rama's clients, the governors, but not to the taxes that should be returned to the budget for education, health, salaries, pensions.
We continue with this analysis, Edi Rama has turned this sector into a curse for the citizens.
But why? In 2022, the Ministry of Finance, with invoices, finds that out of 7.2 million tourists, their overnight stays in Albania cost 140 million euros.
Of which 8.5 million were paid as VAT at 6 percent, which is their VAT, for all Albanian citizens.
So, out of 7.2 million tourists, 8.5 million have been allocated. If we remove the VAT credit, it falls to 8 million.
So, my friends, in this fabulous wealth, every citizen of this country, except for those who own hotels and motels, has benefited 4 euros.
If we have benefited a total of 8 million euros as a nation and 4 euros per person, we have spent from the budget money, from your taxes, we have invested in the tourist resorts of Edi Rama's clans, 430 million euros per year.
