"The pot was boiling, protect the Government", Rama: We have not given
Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama has stated that he has not given up on the increase in the price of electricity for the band above 800 kilowatts, but has only postponed it by one month.

During a conversation with the citizens on social networks, Rama said that he did not take this decision due to the pressure of the citizens or the opposition, but based on the facts and that in November a bandage will be placed taking into account the parameters or we will return to the discussion.

Commentator:  I knew how the pot of anger was boiling, save the government and the local elections.

Rama-commentators:  Neither the first nor the second are true, above all it is unfair, not to mention insulting. First, over 50% and over 94% are not affected and were not affected and will not be affected in December, this is a fantasy, I am not here to tell fairy tales because my duty does not allow me. I am responsible for what I say and facts are facts.

Second, there is no prime minister on the planet, and the worst one, who does not take every opportunity to do his best when it comes to directly touching the everyday, which means that for no reason in the world, he will I said something that is untrue, that the truth would come out many times faster than the lack of memory of what was said would help.

It has nothing to do with any anger pot or collection pot, but it has to do with a fact that I explained. We had two elements that helped us postpone the placement of the bandage and not put it on in October, to postpone it, not to give up.

The rains, which have increased the quotas in hydropower plants and in Fierza, and the second element is a saving trend that has caused the need for energy to be much lower than forecast. We can continue to meet this need without being financially threatened.

If the trend of savings and rainfall continues, we will pass October without any surprises, in November a bandage will be placed taking into account the parameters or we will return to the discussion.

It is not true that the energy sources have not been increased. We have made an important change in the contracts made with private hydropower plants that, with the obligation received by the government for pre-purchase, today would reduce the budget expenditure, to the point where we would be one step away from the teeth of state bankruptcy.

Given that we renegotiated those contracts and set a ceiling, and in front of the investors and diplomatic representatives of their countries who sat us down at the table and opposed us, we have much less obligations towards them and in the conditions of this crisis we have a greater benefit in relation with 300 million euros saved per year.
