Albanian families facing debt due to rising costs, says Deputy Tabaku
Democratic Party Deputy Jorida Tabaku has raised concerns regarding the economic struggles of Albanian families, alleging that rising living costs and corruption are driving citizens into debt.
Tabaku reported that the start of the school year has imposed additional costs of between 11,000 and 40,000 lek per child. She noted that for families living on two minimum wages, approximately 90% of income is consumed by rent and basic food, potentially leaving them with a monthly debt of 43,000 lek. Even families with a monthly income of 130,000 lek face estimated deficits of 9,000 lek.
The deputy criticized the government's economic presentation, arguing that public funds are being diverted to a privileged circle through tenders and concessions rather than supporting the general population.
