TIRANA, Sept 20 /ATA/ – Lulzim Basha, leader of the Euro-Atlantic Democrats, pledged a significant fuel tax relief if elected, saying Albania ranks seventh for the most expensive oil price in the world.
“Albanian citizens, although ranking bottom in terms of the income per capita in Europe, they still rank seventh for the highest oil price in the world,” Basha claimed in a social media post on Thursday.
According to Basha, lifting a fuel tax of 24 lek was a long-standing commitment as part of the Euro-Atlantic Democrats program.
“The prices hurting consumers and production are a consequence of the so-called ‘Rama tax’ on fuel, as well as oil smuggling that is allowed for the Prime Minister’s clients at the expense of Albanian citizens,” Basha stated.
