Berisha in Lezha: Great Albania is realized after we lift every Albanian out of extreme poverty

Politiko 2025-04-08 20:00:18

Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha said today from Lezha that Greater Albania will be realized once every Albanian is freed from extreme poverty.

Berisha said that Greater Albania is not a fantasy, but a dream to become reality, a daydream of our young men, women, children and every Albanian.

LEZHA - Part of Berisha's speech:

I come to you today to present the program of Great Albania, the program of Great Lezha.
I come here with the deepest conviction that, if Albanian greatness has a zenith, if Albanian greatness has an Everest, this zenith, this Everest is Lezha. Centuries ago, the covenant inspired and inspires the people of Lezha and Albanians for victories among the most impossible, for boundless faith in themselves and Albania. It was this covenant that multiplied the forces of the Albanians in their resistance like never before. Therefore, to anyone who might say that this greatness seems a little high, I say no; this greatness has existed in these lands and will exist in these lands as long as they exist. This great Lezha and Great Albania is not a fantasy, but it is a dream to become reality, it is a daydream, of our young men, of our young women, of our children, of every Albanian.

To realize this daydream, we have a project with which we start work with the compassion package, with our hearts in our hands. We start work with our hearts in our hands. We start work where we have the most spiritual virtue of Albanians, and the most spiritual virtue of Albanians is their charity, their kindness. That is why we have defined the compassion package as an emergency. Every pensioner, every man and woman, every young person, every unemployed person, every person on economic assistance, every student on scholarship, without exception, everyone will receive a minimum of 200 euros per month.

It's not much, but still 6.3 euros per day per individual, no one is anymore, no Albanian is anymore in extreme poverty.
And we are rapidly, with a draconian blow, removing extreme poverty from Albanian lands, which are the most prosperous lands.
Dear friends! Not only that, but all pensioners, all wage earners will also have a consumer card with which they will get back the VAT, the 20% they pay for basic things, for food and medicine. In this way, each pensioner receives about 450 euros per year, so they receive 2-3 pensions today. The minimum wage will no longer be below 500 euros in Albania. I assure entrepreneurs that the state, by reducing taxes, will not only ensure that they do not lose, but on the contrary, their money in bank accounts will grow and they will make investments.

My friends! We cannot move forward, we cannot move towards greatness, if we do not support, if we do not lift Albanian citizens out of misery. The list of medicines that you get at the pharmacy, the expired Doshi-Nushi, Nushi-Doshi medicines will be completely identical to the list of the Italian Republic, and on the territory of Albania there will never be a medicine that has not been marketed in two EU countries. We cannot live like the Italians because we do not have those conditions, but we will take the medicines like them, because we have those conditions, we have those conditions to help every Albanian citizen with medicines that are effective.
