The leader of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, accused the government of the Prime Minister Edi Rama of “plunging the country’s economy into the deepest crisis”, compared to the region.
The comments made to the media came shortly after PM Rama concluded a press conference on the economy where he defended his electoral promises on “employment and measures taken to help businesses”.
Political parties have turned their engines on ahead of the elections due in April, meanwhile, the economy is expected to be among the “burning points” during the electoral race.
The leader of the Democrats said “it is time for a change”, hinting that the Democrats must come out triumphant from the elections.
“In eight years Edi Rama raised taxes by more than €3 billion. 97% of Albanians are paying more taxes,” said Basha. “The number of Albanians who have gone unemployed is the highest in the region, while the government aid is the lowest in the world”.
The leader of the Democratic Party added that his party will offer a “concrete economic plan” that will create a “positive environment” for foreign investments.
