Burdens weigh citizens, low wages, and unaffordable expenses

Citizens, Izet Zhujaj, say of Online Economy, that price hikes are linked to lack of energy capacities and bad heritage from war and corruption, but hope for awareness and improvement in the future.

When electricity is expensive, bread is expensive and everything is done with energy. We should have four more five years, until we do the capacity and we will have power releases. We are new friends, destroyed by war and thieves. We can't wait better, I hope they're conscious of”, said Zhuja, broadcast Periscope.

While a citizen, without wanting to introduce himself, says online Economy that income is very low, while prices do not match economic reality.

It also singles out the high price of electricity, which, according to her, is making life difficult.

I don't know how they're going to get retired and social aid. These price hikes are not reasonable. We have a lot of differences in external prices because income is higher. Here income is not good, except those that are around parties. The income is too small. The extra price is electricity. For three months 90 euros, with a small stove, small residence. The working class spends too much bread. Conditions do not offer them access to the table with items that replace bread. On the vote, no one knows who to vote. Just writing the line, because how they're coming to power they're changing”, she said.

On the other hand, citizen Skender Boletini says that prices are reasonable and should have more responsibility for the use of bread.

I'd grown more expensive bread. There's no game with the bread. They're misusing it, they're playing it. They don't know the value of bread. Prices are also very reasonable for electricity, because they're subsidizing who saves it. Even in Germany it is so”, Boletini said.

According to the AKS, annual inflation for this month has increased 2.9%, compared to March of last year, while monthly inflation (compared to February 2025) is 0.8%.
