Prime Minister Edi Rama was this Friday at the extended Assembly of the Socialist Party, where, among other things, he spoke about the law for medical students. He commented, among other things, on the suspension of this law by the Constitutional Court, saying that it is an absurd decision.

Rama said that as long as the medical students pay a ridiculous amount for their studies, while most of it is paid by the Albanian taxpayers, they have the duty to serve those who paid to make them doctors for several years, and then they are free to go wherever they want.

“We need to strengthen even more what we have started with medicine. The thing we discussed today is how it is possible that medical students do not understand how simple and how indisputable it is that thanks to the contribution of all tax-payers you get an education that costs many times less than it costs in the other state and I put it into question that for a few years you will serve these people who have paid taxes for you, you will serve these parents and grandparents and not get your diploma and immediately run to Germany.

This is unimaginable! Why? For a very simple reason, despite the fact that our medical university is not officially ranked at the levels of German universities. Practice has shown that it is a university that produces reliable professionals, they know this and accept it.

But that German friend of this one who comes out of us has paid a staggering amount to enter the same corridor. Why? Because you had your Albanian state that gave you the opportunity to do these studies, to open the door to Germany by paying ridiculous amounts, which this state is willing to pay.

But on the condition that you pay back the people who paid for you, serving their elderly parents in the hospital, or their relatives, and then run away wherever you want. I do not discuss the decisions of the courts, but the suspension that the Constitutional Court gave to their absurd request to reject this thing, is absurd. It is absurd and I am only discussing it because it is a suspension”, said Prime Minister Rama.
