After Berisha's speech in the Assembly, the leader of the SP Group, Taulant Balla, took the floor.

He responded to Berisha regarding foreign investments, while also mocking him for his election as head of the DP, stating that the competition was strong.

" Good night (addresses Berisha). For the public, it is worth responding to lies with figures and facts. In parentheses, I cannot help but appreciate the fact of the stance on investment. A historic investment, the largest in the history of Albania, which I will talk about a little later, after I have explained to the public. It was said here that foreign investments have fallen. Now, Foreign Direct Investments, in 2012, which is considered your last full year, Mr. Sali, were 666 million euros. In 2025, that 2026 is less than half of it, the figure of foreign direct investments goes to 1.64 billion euros. Now with Luli's mathematics, 1.64 billion could be greater than 666 million. But with normal mathematics, 666 into 1.64 enters at least 2.5 times. Foreign investments in Albania have increased by 2.5 times. Sir, congratulations on being elected as the leader of the DP, because I didn't know who would win, but after such a strong competition, fought to the end, Mr. Sali won. As for the gross domestic product, in 2012 it was somewhere below 10 billion, while in 2025 we exceeded 27 billion euros. So we have tripled the economy of Albania in such a short time", said Balla, among other things.
