Erion Veliaj, Minister of Social Welfare and Youth announced the latest government’s decision in the energy sector, declaring that energy bill price will be compensated for some categories of citizens.
“From this decision will benefit families which are part of social assistance scheme, pensioners, people with disabilities and employees who work in state institutions and have a wage lower than 350 thousand ALL”, declared Veliaj.
Another decision announced by the Minister was the singing of an agreement with Luxemburg which recognizes pension’s years of Albanian citizens. According to him, Albanian citizens will benefit more revenues by pensions after the signing of this agreement, adding that a similar agreement will be signed with Germany in the upcoming months.
As for the debate on pension’s age, Veliaj declared that high ranked officials will retire at the age of 60 years and miners will retire at the age of 55. “The politics is the first to pay a price for the retirement reform before asking it to citizens,” stated Minister Veliaj.
