The average salary today is 830 euros, and in the fourth term we will raise it to 1,000 euros,\u201d said Rama.<\/p>\n<p>He promised that after the May 11 elections, he will return again to Greece to thank this community for the votes they will give for Albania\u2019s integration into the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>He added that after May 11, all Albanians will be equal citizens of the European Union. \u201cWe are here together, but after May 11, we will all be equals among equals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rama also emphasized that Albania has reached a stage where foreigners respect it for what it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, Albania is a country that holds its own destiny in its hands and is no longer at anyone\u2019s mercy. We took over the country buried in debt, where everything had come to a halt due to countless obligations. Suppliers and companies were no longer being paid because payments to them had been suspended,\u201d said Rama.<\/p>\n<p>Rama invited emigrants to vote for the Socialist Party in the 2025 elections to ensure that their children can have a European passport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have a duty as parents to give your children a European passport and to tell them: Learn the Greek language and Greek culture, learn the Italian language and Italian culture, learn all the languages of Europe and its culture. But you do not need to change who you are or what your passport says\u2014Albanian. Because with this passport that you will have, by joining Edi Rama and the Socialists in 2025, you will have the opportunity to stay here, travel anywhere in Europe, and be respected as equal citizens among Europeans,\u201d Rama said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Edi Rama continued his electoral tour in Greece and on Sunday held a meeting with the Albanian community in Athens.
