Recognizing the years of work for citizens who have worked in cooperatives, agricultural enterprises as well as state enterprises has stimulated the interest of pensioners. Not only in Tirana, but also in the districts, the elderly show how they have been damaged over the years and have been left without a solution. "We went to court. When he opened the lid, he wanted 400,000." "27 years of work for 160 thousand ALL. I lost about 2 years of work and how I found it", some of them say to A2 CNN.
" There are several categories. A group received a partial pension and still have it, while the rest do not enter to earn because they do not complete 15 years of seniority because the documents have disappeared" , says Kujtim Hoxha, pension expert. "Over 70% of the register sheets have problems. They have the beginning, they don't have the closure, there are corrections, they don't have a father, which makes it difficult and the citizens go to court".
For those pensioners who did not have the opportunity to follow the court proceedings, they accepted the loss of years. Compulsorily even a lower pension. "I worked for 44 years and they took me out with a pension of 85,000 ALL. You live on this amount. I eat a grain of tomato and a piece of bread with salt." " Human error, they told me, and I left it. And they took out 100,000 lek, what are you going to do, eat, go to the doctor, take medicine ?", say the pensioners.
There are 29,500 citizens who are on the verge of retirement, but who do not complete their working years because the time they worked in cooperatives or state enterprises is not recorded in the documents. Experts consider a pension amnesty before the elections, the undertaking of this legal initiative by the government, as according to them it penalizes many people. "When the government does not express itself with a decision, it is a propaganda that will make people worse in the courts", says Hoxha.
These changes will benefit 7,500 people who worked in former agricultural cooperatives and 22,000 people who worked in former agricultural enterprises and state enterprises./ A2CNN
