Berisha with farmers: Anyone caught with carcinogenic pesticides will be
The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, held a meeting with the farmers of Dimal, where he presented the electoral program.

During his speech, Berisha promised that 'oil will be sold to farmers at its cost', further adding that 'collectors will not be allowed to have a monopoly on prices'.

"Not only pensions in the village, for the first 100 days, the Albanian village will not have a pension below 200 euros. Regardless of what the pension is, full or partial, it will no longer be below 200 euros. In addition, the village will have a consumer card, with which the VAT on a series of products that it buys will be refunded.

Any criteria of having one cow or ten cows, one or ten, will be removed. The criterion per hectare will be removed, those who have one dunya will be subsidized for one dunya, those who have 10 hectares will be subsidized for 10 hectares. I guarantee that we will provide very strong support for the village because the potential of the village is very large for production. We will produce your products. The Open Balkans is thrown in the trash the first week. It does not exist!

What happened friends? What a great drama. The Myzeqeja reached 35 thousand head of breed cows. They opened the border for the products of Shumadia, introduced the law in parliament to remove the tax on powdered milk and increased the prices of agricultural inputs, the hay bale went worse than a liter of milk and farmers were forced to slaughter the breed cows that were small milk factories in themselves. I guarantee you that we will tax powdered milk where it deserves and it will be your milk that will be preferred and sold in the Albanian market and all other products. You have big problems with the pile and there are great injustices.

I tell the collectors here that we support them, we are ready to credit them with soft loans and other facilities, but the prices cannot be monopoly. They will not be prices that will kill production. There is a practice in the relationship between the farmer and the collector. Either that relationship is resolved with a joint board, who agree on the collection prices by calculating the costs and everything, or then the state will be forced to create its own board and cannot accept that you collectors are treated like the Indians from Columbus who brought them pieces of mirrors and took their gold. This does not happen anymore.

I know, go there to the Lushnja market and see how they dictate prices with force. That's the end. Prices will be determined by joint boards or other practices will be adopted and farmers who create production with sweat cannot be treated the way they are treated today. That's the end.

Secondly, collectors do not pay their bills in many cases. We have the greatest respect for collectors, but they will be forced to obtain a license when they have taken out insurance with an insurance company. This means that whether the collector wants it or not, the insurance company will pay every unpaid bill from the collector. Macedonia has it. We are not inventing anything. We have declared the symmetrical VAT the first week. You will benefit from the VAT, not the wholesalers. Oil, for the entire population, the price will first be reduced for everyone, because today the government receives 1.1 euros per liter of oil. There is no government in the world that receives so much for oil as Edi Rama's government does. We will impose that fiscal burden like Kosovo and Macedonia. That is why they have oil 40-50 percent cheaper than Albania.
Oil will be sold to farmers at its cost. You know, billionaires come and take 1 million liters on their yacht and have a lunch for the prime minister. They are welcome, but this is being discontinued. We will give those millions of liters to our farmers.

"The import of agricultural inputs that are not sold in the EU will be banned. And any such import will be declared a serious crime.
There is no need for carcinogenic pesticides to come and ruin your products. The mafia does this, not an honest trader. The first person caught selling inputs that are not sold in two EU countries will be punished for a serious crime," said Berisha.
