Socialist MP Erjon Braçe has raised the alarm over the reduction of the number of livestock in Albania, while emphasizing that he has warned this since 2018 when he changed the VAT on agriculture.
"In November 2018, when the VAT on agriculture changed, I told you and finally I ran away from the Committee on Economy, in the Assembly for three hours in a row I tried to persuade to stop the CONSEQUENCE, this in figures", writes among others Brace on social networks.
And it has not been difficult to understand that behind the "anger" of Brace stands the former head of economy and finance, Arben Ahmetaj, exactly the man who would take his place in government.
"65 thousand cows less than December 31, 2018.
250 thousand sheep and 100 thousand less goats from December 2018.
131 thousand tons less milk from December 31, 2018.
INSTAT has published livestock data for 2021.
Look, I hate to say 'I told you;
But everything turns out to be proven, even this time with data from the Ministry of Agriculture itself.
In November 2018, when the VAT on agriculture changed, I told you and finally I ran away from the Committee on Economy, in the Assembly for three hours in a row I tried to persuade to stop the CONSEQUENCE, which you have above in figures!
Nobody listened!
What about now? Will you continue with 'Erion blows that this is not the situation?'
Is the word worth it in this country?
If there is, change the VAT for agriculture so that we do not lose more livestock, still in food.
It should be produced in the country, it should be done now ", writes the man who until recently was no. 2 of the government.
