Këlliçi responds to Rama: 8.5 billion euros is nonsense, it covers

The Vice President of the Democratic Party, Belind Këlliçi, reacted today regarding Prime Minister Edi Rama's statements that 8.5 billion euros enter the Albanian economy through tourism and foreign investments.

In a post on social media, Këlliçi states that Rama was perverted and embarrassed by his foolishness in displaying the strong lek, after having to cover up the inevitable truth of money laundering by criminal organizations in Albania.

According to the democrat, Rama should not confuse the exchange rate with the quality of the economy, while the money comes from his corruption and the government he leads.

Full post:

Prime Minister Edi Rama appeared perplexed and very worried about the explanation for the drastic fall of the euro!

With his proverbial ignorance in the economic and financial fields, he took on the embarrassment with those ridiculous, almost stupid, statements about the hard lek, because he had to cover up the inevitable truth of money laundering by criminal organizations in Albania.

Proud of his incompetence, Rama told Albanians that the lek has been strengthened by a very strong economy. That the euro exchange rate has this fluctuation and decline because 8.5 billion euros have entered the country from foreign investments and tourism for 2025.

Swollen by the disease, by the anxiety of protecting the defenseless, he was forced to utter nonsense that, although they will long be remembered as memes, will hurt Albanians for generations due to the unparalleled damage in history.

How easily this ridiculous propaganda is dismantled, which, with the exchange rate raging from the dirty origins of the euro, seeks to sell the economic "miracle" of a country that produces nothing but concrete.

For example, the prime minister does not say that foreign currency inflows into the country, according to public data, are not 8.5 billion euros, but 10 billion if we count 1.5 billion from exports.

The Prime Minister does not say that Albania has no production, that agriculture and industry are being destroyed, that we import a lot, even though we have abundant nature and resources.

The Prime Minister does not say that imports for 2025 were worth 11.5 billion euros, so the school must understand that with these figures, the demand for euros is higher than the supply.

I'm not even adding here the 1.1 billion euro intervention in the market by the Bank of Albania, which failed to even cause the devaluation of the euro, let alone stop it.

Therefore, with a chronic trade deficit, only a fool can claim the strengthening of the lek!

So Edvin, where do these other billions that are burying the euro and our economy come from?????

At which "summit" did you learn this economic logic?

Since you don't dare say it, I'll explain.

These and more come from the meeting in Aruba, they come from your corruption and the criminal organization you lead.

You destroyed the country's economy by turning not only construction, but every sector into a dirty laundry for your money and the criminal organizations that guaranteed you power.

This situation forces you to make a fool of yourself trying to convince the public that the criminal economy has no effect on the supply of the euro. But this time you're caught in the crossfire.

No amount of money can buy the innocence of the most anti-Albanian government in history. Much less the euro of your rampant crime and corruption.

You can no longer confuse the exchange rate with the quality of the economy.

Forget the exchange rate, because that is determined by supply and demand. The calculations don't work out because your country doesn't produce, doesn't export, doesn't create value, but survives on concrete, corruption, and capital of criminal origin.

You are not saving the reputation of the lek, because you do not realize where and how you have betrayed the Albanians. You are trying to save the alibi of your economic regime. But the economy is not your political sect. You will not know about patronage and spin, but balance sheets. But the balance sheets have "betrayed" you.

No matter how criminal, the economy has a vice that your government cannot control, in the end it always delivers the bills. And the bills have started to arrive, and you have nowhere to keep them, you will pay them one by one . /CNA
