Basha Accuses Govt of Taking USD 2bln with Seven Contracts

Chairman of the Democratic Party (DP), Lulzim Basha has held responsible Thursday the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama for taking 2 billion USD of Albanian taxpayers’ money through 7 contracts.

In DP Head’s opinion, this money will go for the public-private partnerships (PPPs) and government’s clients, but the officials still claim they cannot find EUR 150 million to lower the price of basket food.

“People stay in tents as you say why they like to stay and get the bonus. While with the proposal that you brought, which will be discussed when you finish the verbal excuses, with the ones that you brought here, you still proposed to take money from the Albanians for 7 contracts worth 2 billion dollars. PPP, your customers and on the other hand say we have nowhere to find the money to deduct VAT on food at a cost of 150 million euros, to reduce the price of bread, oil, sugar, of those families you visit every day.

You do not see these, but you have brought 7 contracts worth 2 billion euros. This is you, the other is the facade. This is your plan. Of course, stealing Albanians, their property, and then stealing the vote is not a virtue, nor a vice, but a crime. But since justice is reformed, you break every little tooth that comes out with a hammer.

As an obligation to the citizens, God save us, not me, but the youngest and youngest in our parliamentary group, so that it occurs to us to quarrel with you, because we need 10 lives to catch in the marathon of debts that you have entered the citizens. To be sure that every Albanian loves the vetting of politicians.

You said this will be extended and points for the reform, but when I talk about your vetting you say we will discuss and it will last, because you are afraid. Fear of corruption is the worst, because it pushes you to do great misfortune, the annihilation of change.

These are the findings of OHDIR that have put the stamp on you as Lukashenko of the Balkans. You have very few arguments left, but you are desperately looking for allies. There are only a handful left in your house, even less for the oligarchs, for those who come out with cobras in their pockets and drug money, to be sure, the ground has started to slip under their feet.

Attempting to build an unholy alliance with the Bermuda Triangle will fail. You have only one way, that you have 8 years to hold the country hostage for your sick ego, to apologize for the ruined economy, for the annihilation of free and fair elections, to take your hands off the throat of SPAK, to vote for venting political and to allow the SP, taken hostage in the basements of oligarchy and crime, to have the courage to compete honestly with the DP, with a clash of ideas, visions”, stressed DP’s leader.
