A marathon session for the government Budget 2017 was concluded last
night at 2:40, with the Parliament Members of the ruling party voting in
favor and passing the budget, while the opposition abstained and said
that the budget will make Albanians more poor.
PM Rama praised the budget and said that 100 million USD will be used for pay raises, and only by reducing the tax on profit for the past four years, 440 million USD were moved towards private and public systems.
The Socialist Movement for Integration voted in favor, but they said the excise on liquid gas for automobiles is not necessary, and the budget should stay within the plan.
After the DP abandoned the room, only two Parliament members voted against the budget, Ben Blushi and Mimoza Hafizi, former Socialist MPs and now founders of the “Libra” movement.
