TIRANA, May 8/ATA/ Chairman of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha stated today that the latest European Parliament report on Albania is validation of their long-standing concerns regarding corruption, the rule of law and democratic standards.
During a press conference, Berisha stressed that this report has been met with a deafening silence from the media and this is unacceptable.
“The report is a sobering document, revealing that nearly half of Albanian children are vulnerable to poverty. It highlights a critical absence of government initiatives for marginalized youth and condemns the systemic indifference in social policy. Furthermore, it critiques the underfunding of education and the lack of a cohesive housing and employment strategy for students and young professionals”, said Berisha.
Berisha stressed that the recent cross-party European Parliament resolution validates our long-standing warnings, confirming one by one the critical issues addressed in eight previous denunciations since late 2024.
The DP leader stated that the report sanctions the exclusion of opposition and civil society from integration, arguing that this process cannot be treated as a private matter of the government. He emphasized that the Parliament should be the primary venue for managing this process. /gj.m/j.p/p.s./
