During the meeting to introduce the Democratic Party's candidates for deputies in the Lezha Region, the opposition leader, Sali Berisha, promised that with the Democrats coming to power, every Albanian will emerge from extreme poverty.

He said that the fines imposed on the business will all be forgiven on May 12th.

Berisha : My friends!
Great Albania can only be achieved by cleaning our house.
They often ask, where will you find this money, where is this money? I guarantee you that this money is all, all from your taxes and we will do nothing else, except return the tax money you pay.
We will return it to pensions that we will increase by 20 percent.
We will return it to salaries, they will increase, I said the minimum salary 500 euros, the average salary 1200 euros. During a mandate in Albania, there will be no teacher who does not receive 1500 euros.
Albanian teachers will be paid better than all the teachers in the region.
It will never happen again that the prime minister signs for phantom incinerators. Incinerators that burn 130 million euros of your money and there is not a brick in the foundation. The money ends up in the offshore bank accounts of Edi Rama and Erion Veliaj.
While Lubia, Lubia who has never had such in Albanian lands as the one who is unrestrained in her greed for money and luxury, 5 years that she should have supervised the works of the incinerator every month, did not supervise them for a single day, not a single month because she knew that Edi Rama was stealing the money.
And she knew that the first moment she supervised them she would be forced not to disburse a single penny. We
will take the money from these people, where they have hidden it, where they have hardened it.
I tell you, the country's prime minister will not travel by taxi plane. 21 million euros in two years. That the prime minister of the country will implement laws and will not expel foreign investors because the televisions are critical of him, and then you pay 110 million euros to the Italian investor because Edi Rama and Erion Veliaj expelled him from the country as if they were, I can give you any epithet, but the problem is that they left 110 million euros on your shoulders that must be paid. This no longer happens.
It no longer happens that the wife of a minister, mayor or prime minister has the same wardrobe as Lalja Assad. 1 million euros of fame. No no no, it is your money, it is your sweat.
It will no longer happen that the prime minister sits at the prime minister's table and opens a bottle of 36 thousand euros. No friends, because this does not happen in any free country.
It no longer happens that the difference between the minimum and maximum salary is 10-12 times. No friends. It is not allowed, it is not humane because even that slob and this slob have children to feed.
Therefore, this difference will narrow, it will go down to where it is in developed countries, where there is social justice, 1 to 4 or 1 to 5, and never more.
Therefore, we will reduce low and middle salaries, and we will not increase high salaries, until the difference narrows to 4-5 times.
My friends!
We are not doing anything, except distributing your money fairly, your money, the money that belongs to you, the government does not produce a single penny.
But Albania will be great only when it employs, increases the well-being of its citizens. And an Albania that employs, is only an Albania that produces.
That is why we will declare 'Made in Albania' a national pride.
There is no country, no land, no mountains, no subsoil richer than the Albanian people, than the land, subsoil, mountains and fields of this country.
That is why we will encourage production, we will halve taxes. We will halve the fiscal burden on businessmen.
10 percent is the tax of millennia, it is the tax of holy books, it is the fairest tax in the world. 10 percent will be our tax.
We will reduce VAT to 15 percent.
I promise small businesses here that they will never be able to tax the Pirin people, they are a Siamese brother with Erion Veliaj, they are Siamese twins, you know.
They will never be able to tax small businesses with more than 1% of turnover. No and no. They will never be able to impose other taxes, except for strictly local ones.
All fines are forgiven on May 12.
The fines of these people, who I can call any epithet, but I don't want to spoil, are not recognized but will be canceled on May 12
