The leader of the Democratic Party Lulzim Basha referred to the energy crisis warned by Prime Minister Edi Rama on Sunday as \u201canother disaster prepared by the government\u201d and blamed corruption for the shortages, not international markets.<\/p>\n
In a press conference held after a parliamentary group meeting on Monday, Basha said that the Albanian people are paying the highest prices in the region for energy due to bad governance.<\/p>\n
He added that the DP will endorse all forms of civil resistance.<\/p>\n
Sources near Euronews Albania say that during today\u2019s parliamentary group meeting, Basha called on Democrat MPs to get into direct touch with citizens in order to \u201cencourage and organize all forms of resistance\u201d against what he called \u201cEdi Rama\u2019s schemes for emptying the pockets of the citizens\u201d.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, PM Rama declared that Albania is among the countries affected by an international energetic crisis, which is expected to lead to a surge in the price of fuel and energy from the end of the year and potentially through the upcoming spring.<\/p>\n
Regardless, Rama vowed that the government will do everything necessary to minimize the effects of the crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave full confidence, as I have unwavering faith, that as we made it with the earthquake and the pandemic, we\u2019ll manage to make it through this other great challenge with the energy, and be sure that just like we didn\u2019t succumb to the infinite rubbles of the earthquake, and we weren\u2019t caught off guard from the attack of the invisible enemy, just like that this crisis won\u2019t find us unprepared nor succumb to this extraordinary crisis\u201d, said the Albanian premier.<\/p>\n
