Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama responded today to the demands of the teachers, who warned of an escalation of their protests.

Rama stated that there will be no other salary increase, apart from the 15% value already announced, which value will be covered by 7% by the government and the rest by the University.

According to Rama, the teachers are unanimous, while he raised accusations that these protests were initiated by former Prime Minister Sali Berisha and former President Ilir Meta.

" Those who go out there forget that they will have another increase. Firefighters will have it, we will prepare it for pensioners, teachers, nurses, doctors, soldiers. For them my message is very simple. You are not like any of these who get a fiscal thing. You are autonomous.

You will receive a part from the government, another part you will take out yourself. We are not here to hold them accountable. The vast majority are in class and don't go out to take selfies at the door. I am proud that today in Albania there is no pro-government screen. Have you seen any screen that does not end with murder and slander.

You can't leave students whose parents pay for them to stay there without tuition, when your salary has increased. How to tell the firemen to come out and start a fire. Teachers also work in private universities. Take more than you declare and we will look at these. Not to vet you, This is where those who have more come out to shout. If they cried out to others, you would say that they are enough because they are more than the firefighters who throw themselves into fires every year or more.

A figure of the infamous SHIK cannot give guidance and cannot be imposed together with a chain of speakers who have confused the work of the university in the pulpit. They hold protests to bring water to the mill of rubles and spies and non grata. Let them protest against me. But making protests like a shill and acting as if we are blackmailing. Who is blackmailing these?! Blackmail is done here by the media against the government. There is no pact with them. Let them do the work they want on the screens. We will do our job. We don't make pacts behind your back ," declared Rama.
