Berisha accused the Socialist parliamentary majority for voting “dozens of laws and decisions that further impoverished Albanian citizens.”

“For the first time in the 34-year history of post-dictatorship Albania, you approved dozens of laws and decisions that further impoverished Albanian citizens,” Berisha stated.

He claimed that the majority has approved decisions “to multiply wages of lawmakers and high-level officials, while allocating only 16 million euros for over 80 000 retired people.”

According to him, these decisions have further deepened the gap between the poor and the wealthy people in the country.

Berisha said that May 11 elections would mark the end of “the narcocracy in Albania.”

He pledged that the opposition will approve what he termed “the compassion package” to eradicate extreme poverty in Albania, if elected in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

“The state budget delivery will be reversed in three months’ time. A living minimum of 200 euros will be set. Minimum wage will be increased to 500 euros, whereas average wage will edge up to 1200 euros,” he promised.
