The leader of the Albanian opposition, Sali Berisha, stated at the international conference 'Global She' that Edi Rama has not implemented any project for Albanian women and girls in 12 years of government.
Berisha further said that the ministers of Rama's government are Gaddafi's bodyguards.
" Albanian women faced increasing poverty for these 12 years.
If in free market countries, under market laws, poverty tends to decrease, in dictatorships and narco-dictatorships, poverty tends to increase.
And this happened these 12 years in Albania.
What happened? Salaries remained low, except for high salaries. High salaries in Albania are higher than in Croatia, than in Slovenia. While low salaries are the lowest in Europe. In Albania, the difference between low and high salaries is 120-15 times. This does not happen in any democratic country.
It doesn't happen in the US or Germany because there are some principles and when the problem comes, low wages are more common among women and girls.
So their position has deteriorated rapidly in recent years.
Their spiritual state has worsened due to the fact that they have sent hundreds of thousands of their daughters and sons abroad, and only for economic reasons.
It's gotten worse because they can't feed, as UNICEF shows, 21 percent of Albanian families can't provide three meals, they only provide two meals to their children.
It is true that Edi Rama appointed ministers with a majority in his cabinet and, as you know, I stood up in parliament and sincerely congratulated him.
But what can I say after 4 years?
For 4 years, absolutely, they have not raised a single issue in the promotion, in favor, in the protection of women and girls in Albania. none.
And there was a moment when the French government gave the Albanian government a 60 million euro grant entirely dedicated to supporting women. I stood up and proposed that we increase it, make it 100 million, and this is a chance to help girls and women.
Absolutely not. They incorporated them into the budget and didn't leave a single penny.
And all those ladies were there and didn't speak.
It became famous what I said to them that you behave like Gaddafi's bodyguards, who sang Gaddafi's praises.
This is also a type of misogyny that fails to show 12 years of a special program to support women and girls in Albania.
"It does not show a program to support single mothers, who are numerous today ," Berisha said.
