Prime Minister Edi Rama in his speech to the Assembly said today (08.11.2021)that the Eurobond that the government seeks to relase is not a debt, but an opportunity to grow the economy.
He rejected criticism from the opposition, which accuses him of raising the national debt to 80 per cent. The head of government said that obtaining the Eurobond aims to boost the economy and not further plunge the state into debt as the opposition said.
“There is a big misunderstanding about the normative act and the Eurobond, the Eurobond is not another debt, but a financing mechanism.
“It is not, as Mediu said, ‘borrowing more to pay off debts’, but it is a mechanism that gives us the opportunity to afford the increase in spending and debt owed over many years.
“A lot was said here, but be careful when you tell people that there is only borrowing here, as if the situation was out of control.
“There have been two very serious events that created the need to borrow, the debt that the opposition left to the country was 74 percent, when there was neither a pandemic nor an earthquake,” said the prime minister.
After the comments on the debt situation, Rama did not spare the ironies for the clashes within the opposition PD, describing this party as “a bird with two heads”.
“You (DP) have been here, you have governed as yesterday’s protagonists, but today you have both heads of the bird that is struggling, that PD is a two headed bird, but not an eagle”, said among other things PM Rama.
