Tahiri: Government Kurti has failed with pension schemes and social reforms

AAK Parliamentary Group chief Besnik Tahiri estimates that the current government led by Albin Kurti has distributed tools without criteria and without concept.

“in the 2024 budget budgetary sharing for pension schemes is around 550m euros, while for social schemes around 158m euros. So, this government has failed with pension schemes and social reforms which are now extremely preferential to me, given the need for an integrated approach to reform”, Tahiri wrote.

“On the contrary to reform, the government has corrupted institutional structures, merging the Ministry of Labour and Social Management, has left the government programme as well as deviateing into the whole legislative agenda in this area. Instead of reform, increased equality and social security, it has divided age, practices like this to consolidate a real system”.

According to him, the consequences of these failures are long-term and pushing citizens to migrate.

Social Security, lack of health insurance, and inequality have increased. Add here that social dialogue has reached the lowest point. For this, as a Parliamentary Group, we have been conducting a series of discussions with trade unions. And, we are determined to push forward in the Assembly, legislative initiatives that turn the attention of institutions towards citizens, in particular implementation of the Constitutional Court's decision to change the Democratic Law of Labour Experience, halt the disfellowshipped tendency of veterans from the minimum wage-level pension estimate, continued wage raise requirements, and finally the requirement for the treatment of the Health Insurance League<1>.
