The President of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha held a meeting with the Youth Forum of the Democratic Party today.
In his speech, Berisha said that the meeting comes at a critical moment for the country, for democracy, for the future.
He emphasized that three days ago, Eurostat announced that from 2014 to the end of 2022, the number of Albanians left only in the EU space, reached 934 thousand people.
"So it has reached more than 33% of the population, but if we add here also those who left for non-EU countries, this figure goes to at least 35%. Imagine the situation this nation and this country is in today. When you read these numbers and see you here, everyone can wonder why you haven't run away. We live today in a time when this country is abandoned and only abandoned. Abandoned by night, by day, abandoned by ship, abandoned by land, abandoned by air. I guarantee you that not only the country is being abandoned by the population, but tomorrow is being abandoned for the country. This country, if it continues like this, has no tomorrow, no future. This country today needs saving more than ever. Wars drive people away, in wars they die from the front, from diseases from many problems. The country that has been reduced the most in history by wars and it was a world war was Poland and it lost 20% of its people, by being killed, by leaving, etc. Albania loses in a span of 8 years, 35% of the country's population", tEat Berisha.
