'The formula of electoral fraud', Berisha: How Rama bought the elections

The leader of the Democrat Party, Sali Berisha, made strong accusations against the socialist majority and the government that they bought the last local and general elections, paying pensioners and other social strata between 50 and 100 euros per vote.
While holding a meeting today (March 27) with the Department of Social Affairs at the Democratic Party, he spoke about the critical situation with the economic crisis, food prices, and financial abuses of power.
For him, the issue of the living wage is an emergency, as Albanians are in extreme poverty, while he promised an increase in salaries and pensions to European levels if the DP came to power.
Berisha said that more than 40% of Albanians face economic difficulties that affect their livelihoods and health.
"Together we debate a problem that concerns the lives of more than 40 percent of Albanians, affects the livelihood and health of half of the population in the country. Albania is in a dramatic situation in relation to the distribution of income, in the ratio of salaries to prices and is the only country that does not have a defined minimum living wage. The developments of the last 12-13 years transformed Albanians from citizens with the highest salaries and pensions in the region, to citizens with the lowest salaries and pensions. The truth is that price indexation was not even followed," said the chief democrat, among other things.
But he did not leave unreported the vote-buying by Prime Minister Edi Rama in the last local and general elections, which he described as "a formula of electoral fraud."
"A formula for electoral fraud has been found for pensioners, 50 euros for their vote in local elections, 100 euros in general elections, while the bank accounts of government officials run into hundreds of millions and billions. There are no more mistreated than Albanian pensioners and they do not deserve it. Not only were pensions not increased, but even those who were supported by remittances, 35 percent of their money was taken by drugs because the euro was devalued," he added.
And finally, he sounded the alarm that Albania is experiencing a drama, where the euro has been devalued by the money of crime and drug cartels.
"We are the only country where the euro has depreciated dramatically. Drug barons with euros that they bring in as remittances halved their value," he said.
