Public debt collides at a distance Lulzim Basha's Cabinet Chief, Dorian Teliti with Prime Minister Edi Rama.

After the statement of the head of government that those who plunged Albania into debt have a big difference with this government. Teliti has published a table where, according to him, are shown through figures how much has been the public debt from 2015 until today.

"2006-2013 public debt increased by only 10% of GDP (including arrears), which built dozens of hospitals, hundreds of schools, thousands of km of roads, including the national road. 2006-2013 we reduced taxes and increased salaries and pensions ", writes Teliti in his post, among other things.

Teliti's full response:

In vain do you compare with us. 2006-2013 Public debt increased by only 10% of GDP (including arrears), which built dozens of hospitals, hundreds of schools, thousands of km of roads, including the national road . 2006-2013 we reduced taxes and increased salaries and pensions.

While 2014-2020, the debt increased by 29% of GDP (including arrears and PPP) and the only full investment you have made is the 22km Fier bypass. Albanian families today have a debt 50% higher than 7 years ago.

You increase the public debt and use it for clientelistic concessions, tenders without competition, office luxuries and charter trips.

"It is you who increase taxes by 2.1 billion euros in 7 years and abandon the economy even in times of pandemics."

Here is what Prime Minister Edi Rama wrote earlier

"Good morning

and since you hear a lot of talk about Public Debt from those who plunged Albania into debt to entrepreneurship, health, education and even people with disabilities, those affected by the floods, and even newborn babies who were left without the microbus 5 thousand Lekë, just like the roads left on the streets, with this very simple comparison to understand the big difference between them and us, I wish you a good day ".
