Berisha in Sukth: The Port of Durres is controlled by the Troplini, the port of

Opposition leader Sali Berisha spoke from the podium of the Parliament about the port of Durres and the fishing port.

He also denounced failed public investments, which according to him go to the personal accounts of government officials.

Berisha : Dear friends, we are today in a more critical situation than ever before.
The greatest evil of man, for man and society, is that which gradually invades your being or invades society.
And the truth is that these 12 years, it is becoming the 13th year, in one respect, Albanians and Albania have never had an evil like this, in the sense, I am not saying extermination, but in the sense of emptying, of emptying this blessed country more than at any other time since the 1300s, the years of the Black Death, which halved Europe.
Friends, we come today as a nation without a future.
Realistically, there is no future for a nation that is aging at a rapid pace.
There is no future for a nation that is losing its youth at lightning speed.
I will give you just two figures.
From 1990 to today, births in Albania have decreased by 74 percent. In one generation, that is.
From 2014 to 2023, in 10 years, from Sukthi, Durrës, Tirana, Albania, 1 million 100 thousand Albanians left for the Schengen area alone.
If we add those who went to Canada, Mexico, the USA, and other countries, it becomes more than 45 percent of the population.
Of these who left for the EU, 720 thousand are under the age of 40.
What is happening? Why this mass abandonment and emptiness?
This never happens without a reason.
No one is born with the desire to leave their country.
It happens because, first of all, economic opportunities are always decreasing. Economic opportunities are always narrowing.
From 2013 to today, every pensioner in any country other than Albania would receive three times more.
Every salaryman, I'm not saying four, because there are four more opportunities, but I'm saying, every salaryman should receive at least three times more.
What happened?
It has happened that salaries, pensions, economic aid have increased much less than prices.
Prices have increased, in Albania the price of basic food is 17 percent higher than the average in EU countries.
So, that's it.
And what has it brought about?
It has brought about the slow sinking of Albanians into poverty.
Then run away son, run away daughter, find your fate on the streets of the world because we can't push it here, we can't feed ourselves here, we can't live here.
Why is that?
Absolutely only for one main reason, because this government has stolen in the most unrestrained way.
It has stolen in the most limitless way your assets.
The taxes you pay on every glass of water you drink.
It has stolen in the most limitless way your public assets.
The port of Durres alone, since we have it nearby, has a value of about 4 billion euros with land and everything.
What is happening with the port of Durres?
The Port of Durrës has been a port for 5 years, the Troplini.
The fishing port, which we built with your taxes, was taken by Luca, a trafficker who was being pursued by 5 countries for trafficking.
Together with a Dorian Bey or whatever his name is.
The state builds it, it is given to traffickers. Now take the fishing port.
Ports in turn.
6 million square meters to drug lords.
Investments, 90 to 100 percent of investments disappear and are not carried out.
This means that the country is destroyed.
This means that the money designated for investments does not produce employment, it ends up in the accounts of the government officials.
Imagine for a moment, where is the Tirana incinerator?
Not a single brick exists there.
You gave 130 million euros for it.
Yes, it is not just the incinerator, all investments are like this, which have been stolen to the extent of 90 to 100 percent.
Even the works that were done have been stolen. You see it as if it were cardboard roads, as if it were cardboard walls.
Everything falls down, the roads collapse.
