"The Economy of the Minority's Courtyard"/ Taulanda Jupi denounces the deep economic inequality in Albania
2025-04-07 16:35:04 / POLITIKË
The Euro-Atlantic Coalition's candidate for MP, Taulanda Jupi, has published a reaction against what she calls the "minority's backyard economy", denouncing the extreme polarization of wealth in Albania.
“Today, 4.5% of Albanians own 58% of bank savings, while 1 in 3 Albanians does not have a penny in their account,” writes Jupi, describing this as a secret agreement between the government and a privileged minority.
In her message, she raises concerns about a rotten economic system, built on dubious concessions and corrupt PPPs, where the government taxes teachers and nurses more heavily than clientelistic corporations. “Albania builds skyscrapers, but not schools. It raises towers, but empties hopes,” emphasizes Jupi, distancing herself from a model that, according to her, rewards connections and speculation, but punishes honesty and work.
Her message is a call for a deep reform of the system: “We need an economy that rewards work, not connections. That supports families and honest businesses, not ‘strategic investors’ who gobble up public property and leave nothing behind.” In conclusion, Jupi emphasizes: “Albania is not for sale. And it is not for silence either.” #AlbaniaDeservesMore

The economy of the minority's backyard, a burden on the back of the majority
At the heart of every free country should lie an honest contract between the citizen and the state. But in Albania, this contract has been betrayed. Today, 4.5% of Albanians own 58% of savings in banks, while 1 in 3 Albanians does not have a penny in their account. This is not an economy. This is a secret agreement between the government and a privileged minority that is squeezing everything out of this country, while the majority is asked to keep quiet and pay.
This polarization is not an accident. It is a direct product of a rotten economic model, built on dubious concessions, corrupt PPPs, and tenders that share the same names, the same pockets in the same yard. This is the system where the government taxes the salary of the teacher and the nurse more than the profit of clientelistic corporations. It is a fiscal regime that sells Albania for 1 euro to favored investors, while raising taxes on ordinary citizens until they break their backs.
Edi Rama's Albania builds skyscrapers, but not schools. It raises towers, but dashes hopes. These are not investors. They are money launderers of corruption and trafficking, whom the government keeps close as "strategic", while it sees its own people as a burden. Because in today's Albania, being ordinary is a crime, while being a friend of the court is a privilege.
But a country that taxes work and rewards speculation is a country that is collapsing its own foundations. We cannot have development when the economy is commanded by private interests that dictate to the state what laws to make, which prosecutors to blackmail and which journalists to attack.
There is no real reform without a profound change in this model. We need an economy that rewards work, not connections. That supports families and honest businesses, not "strategic investors" who gobble up public property and leave nothing behind.
The Albania I want is one where children grow up with opportunities, not with debts. Where taxes are used for development, not for decorating the wealth of friends of power. Where every citizen, without distinction, lives with dignity and feels that this country is theirs.
Because Albania is not for sale. And there is no need to be silent either.
