The head of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, during his nightly speech to supporters, also spoke about money laundering in Albania in the field of construction.
Berisha emphasized that drug prices drive the prices to the stratosphere and the citizen has to work for a century to buy an apartment. Furthermore, the former prime minister said that apartment prices are more expensive than in Brussels, Rome, more expensive than in Vienna, Ljubljana, Zagreb and so on.
"I am here to pledge to cut with the strong scissors of the law, the ties of power and crime. To fight with zero tolerance, the traffic and drugs that are destroying this country. Open your eyes my friends, see Tirana, the drug towers and corruption on all sides have surrounded the center of the city. Do you ask about the prices of apartments? More expensive than in Vienna, Ljubljana, and so on?
Over 60,000 new apartments are empty, with padlocks. This happens because the rivers of drug money, buy the floors and towers from the foundation, drive the prices to the stratosphere and the citizen has to work for a century, a century to buy an apartment. So, in fact, he is condemned for life to not be able to buy a house in his capital. But this growth, this growth is drugs, it is the tower of corruption and crime.
This increase is containers with Euro drugs that enter Albania and that bring down the European Euro. But those who increase, lead to the stratosphere the prices of basic food for citizens. They make the lowest income people in Europe, with the most miserable pensions in Europe, face in their shops, with prices from 10 to 250 percent higher than the EU average. This is a terrible situation friends. This is an emergency. This is a cry for battle, a call for battle, a dedication for battle," said Berisha.
