Today from the blue headquarters, former Prime Minister Sali Berisha said that securities were used with great success first by Megi Thatcher and in Argentina and then in former communist countries everywhere.
He added that privatization vouchers were distributed free of charge to citizens according to age groups, but at the end of the distribution, 1.3 million Albanians had a privatization voucher in their pocket.
"I am here today to present only one of them, which the phalanxes of political crime present as a fact, an argument that it was undertaken to favor my son-in-law. Or it was undertaken for corruption. And this is the decision to use the letters of value in the process of privatization with priority to the former owners. The securities, as Albanians know and remember, were issued in Albania and in most of the former communist countries as a mechanism by which citizens were intended to benefit from the privatization of enterprises where they had merged their lives in the communist system.
They were used with great success first by Maggie Thatcher and in Argentina and then in ex-communist countries everywhere. As president of the Republic, I decreed their issuance and distribution at the beginning of 1995. Privatization vouchers were distributed free of charge to citizens according to age groups, but at the end of the distribution, 1.3 million Albanians had a privatization voucher in their pocket. A variant of them was the privatization lek. Privatization money was given to the politically persecuted. They were absolutely equivalent to the lek. Bonds are nowhere identical to the currency of the country, they have an approximation. And those that were distributed to the former persecuted, had the most real value of lek.
In this period, privatization bonds were used for the privatization of thousands of facilities and dozens and dozens of medium enterprises, at that time this was the field of privatization and purchase of housing, legalization of housing. As for the persecuted, the privatization money was given as compensation for the years in prisons and concentration camps. The privatization money worked perfectly. With them, the persecuted bought objects, even factories.
In 1997 the process was stopped, but it never went away. And in 2020, this government has a decision on their use. In 2008, on the eve of the upcoming privatizations, their use was restored to the extent of 80 percent with bonds and 20 percent with Lek. In the meantime, the owners bought, if I'm not mistaken, about 20 billion ALL of objects that were privatized. In total, the rest consumed about 120 million euros or dollars, according to a 2014 report by the Ministry of Finance. Berisha: Sali Berisha and his family members are not the only ones in the process. The DP's epoch-making reforms are in process," said Berisha.
