The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, during the meeting in Gramsh promised the citizens that they will be the main priority under the DP government. Speaking at the closing meeting of the electoral campaign, Berisha said that 70 million euros will be invested every year for irrigation, drainage and land maintenance. The chief democrat also emphasized that the living minimum will be 200 euros for every Albanian.

"So we have the money for the citizens. We will return the money to you and in this context I pledge that there will be no pension below 200 euros in the first 100 days of the next government. Living minimum 200 euros for every Albanian. Minimum wage 500 euros. Oil will go down 40 percent for every Albanian. Medicines will be reimbursed 100 percent according to the list of medicines of the Italian republic. Consumer card for every low-income earner and pensioner, they will buy 20 percent cheaper than others. Yes, we will wipe away the cold tears of misery from our pensioners once and for all. These exceed any kind of criteria, any kind of feeling, any kind of standard. There was 8 billion on the table and they divided 16 million euros for 760 thousand pensioners. The most heartless thing.

But to increase salaries, to make a salaried employee with a maximum salary with a maximum salary of 50 pensions, there is no place in the world, except Albania. These are inhumane and we erase the first 100 days and archive them in the history of shame of those who created this situation. My friends, I go back to Kodheli. He said that Gramshi is an emergency. Yes, it really is an emergency. In all the districts that I know, Gramshi is more of an emergency than the others because Gramshi has blocked potential. There are no roads, no water, no electricity. So I guarantee you, I have declared the Elbasan bypass, the Shkodër-Milot road, an absolute priority. But how can I guarantee that Gramshi will be an absolute priority.

With Armaldo, all priority projects are given priority. Yes, this is a district with extraordinary potential, especially in fruit growing, and it is a crime to undo Gramshi. Gramshi farmers will have five times the subsidies they have today. Today, 380 thousand Albanian farmers have a subsidy of 32 million euros. 32 million times shame on Edi Rama. 32 million euros, employ about 500 thousand Albanians, provide about 20 percent of the country's production. So what are we going to do? We will increase it from 32 million to 230 million, equalize it with Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro. Next, we will protect their products. The products of Albanian farmers in the season will be fully protected. The Open Balkans in the trash the first week. We only recognize European standards.

Here they are, on the edge of the lake without irrigation. Why will they stay? They will leave. On the water, but they have no water. 70 million euros will be invested every year for irrigation, drainage and maintenance of the land. The budget for agriculture will be doubled. Taxes will be reduced from 23 percent to 10 percent profit tax. VAT will be reduced from 20 to 15 percent. Electricity for business will be reduced from 18 to 6 lekë. The municipality will never be able to impose more than 1 percent of turnover in taxes. All those Albanians who want to return to their country will be 5 years without any taxes. They will be supported with soft loans and grants for housing, for business, so that they can build their dreams in Albania. For young people, any obstacle to higher education will be removed. The average will be removed. Modernizing education is the main goal.

"There will be no teacher who will receive less than 1500 euros. Doctors and nurses will have their salaries doubled. My friends, if there is a place with more energy potential than Albania, it does not exist anywhere. Hydro, solar, wind, in the next 4 years we guarantee everything to convert sunlight into energy for Albanian families, so that after three years they will have free electricity," said Berisha.
