Greece Cuts Food Prices/Berisha: Rama Indifferent, Offers “Besa” and “Pasqyra”! Prime Minister Lives in the “Ivory Tower” of Power

Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha has said that the country’s deep political crisis is also being accompanied by an economic crisis, criticizing the government for failing to take measures in response to rising prices.

Referring to measures recently taken in Greece, Berisha said the Greek government had decided to cut the prices of around 1,600 items by 5% to 30%, including basic foodstuffs, school supplies and products widely used by consumers.

Meanwhile, in Albania, Berisha said, Rama and the government are indifferent, while he “lives in the ivory tower of power.”

“Meanwhile, according to the latest statistics, food prices in Albania rose five times more this year than the average in EU countries. The government has shown zero response and taken zero action. These figures, together with other data proving that 30% of Albanians are at risk of hunger, are the saddest alarm bells ringing in this country. Rama’s indifference to this situation surpasses even the most inhumane attitudes,” the Democratic Party leader said.

According to Berisha, the Democratic Party proposes removing VAT on food, fully subsidizing all school-related expenses in line with the principle of free education, and establishing a subsistence minimum.

“For the Democratic Party, removing VAT on food is vital. All school-related expenses must be fully subsidized, based on the principle of free education. Under the Constitution, education is free. A subsistence minimum must be established,” Berisha said.
