From minimum wage to maximum electoral corruption

The minimum bank wage stands at 700, 800 euros and 1,000 euros. The cost of life has become high, unaffordable for many families from astronomical inflation in recent years. Most families are financing the rise in debt prices from banks.

The high cost of energy from public mismanagement has created a new wave of inflation on inflation that is historically higher. There is no doubt that socioeconomic conditions are difficult for citizens and Kosovo families.

But that does not mean that we must destroy the economy more with the measures and actions we take. We need to be careful and not do more damage. Once we have to empower and support businesses to grow the economy stable and qualityly, then set the conditions for it. So once you cultivate it, you invest in businesses, then you can even increase their taxes and burdens maybe.

When you increase the cost of energy and other operations to business and the local economy... and when you raise its minimum wage, that means you're doing a huge injustice to it.

Instead of creating good conditions for our businesses, the producers of our servants, you're just making it difficult for them. That means import keeps growing, because our businesses are becoming less competitive in the market.

After all, it is electoral corruption in time of campaigns taking action such as the latest with the minimum wage. It has been corruption to award bonuses from 100 euros before the national elections, and also now for local elections.

But the last with the minimum wage is the highest and most irresponsible level of electoral corruption we have ever seen so far by the ruling party. Where are you getting this money you're delivering? Surely it was your private means that you acted more responsibly.

So you're taking money from businesses that are in extremely difficult conditions and converting them into votes for yourself. This is what's happening at short points. And as collateral damage, you are putting your economy and local businesses at greater risk.

Decisions like this are not made overnight and in times of election campaigns. They have to think carefully and consider all options and consequences. No study on the impact of the decision has been made. Thus, with this pasul style, the economy and local businesses are constantly being hit for close electoral interests and for some more votes.

Actions like this increase import and deficit in goods, as high as half of the economy already, and will create a kind of pressure for local businesses that some will risk closing down. A low act with election corrupt motives.

Pressure increases on local businesses, import and deficit rise, more tools outside Kosovo, and the liquidity crisis deepens, and this generates migration and political crisis.

Businesses and the local economy must be supported first. Let's seriously invest in billions and give them as much... and not just take what little resources they have.

Like a cow who takes milk constantly without feeding and caring for it, it will fail and eventually die. This is happening with local businesses and economy in recent years. They're treated like a cow that gets milk but doesn't feed or care about it.

These practices, this filthy method of corruption and economic governance, must be completed as soon as possible, and Kosovo's economic direction should change as soon as possible.
