Lu’s message/ Reacts opposition’s leader Basha
Democratic Party chairman Lulzim Basha accused the Albanian government of spending the money that could be spent on buying book books for students, for travel tickets and furniture and office reconstruction.
Basha said that US Ambassador to Albania, Donald Lu, was right in his message for young people:
“You live in democracy. You have to require from the government to fulfill your needs , and if the government does not respond , you overthrow it. That is how democracy works. In democracy, the responsibility and power is for the people. ”
“Meanwhile the answer to the question of what every Albanian needs to ask the government when it refuses to pay textbooks from the state budget, it’s simple:
Only in the first half of the year, the government spent:
- For tickets / trips about $ 2 million.
- For office furniture / reconstruction: about $ 14 million.
So this amount of money is enough to provide textbooks for all the students of Albania.
As promised, the Democratic Party will submit to the Parliament the proposal to finance school books for all children of Albania from the budget, “wrote Basha in a post on social networks. /tvklan.al
