Taulant Balla, political director of the Socialist Party for the Tirana region, presented in Vorë some of the main principles underpinning the 2027 Draft Budget for the Municipality of Vorë, emphasizing fiscal justice and the distribution of the tax burden according to income.
During the meeting, Balla described the 2027 budget as the largest in Albania’s history, and dwelt in particular on the principle that financial contributions should be proportional to each citizen’s income.
“We are socialists. As such, we have one principle: whoever earns more pays more. Whoever is paid less pays less or nothing at all,” Balla declared.
Commenting on opposition to the draft budget, he accused his political opponents of seeking to reverse this philosophy, which he said would favor individuals with higher incomes and increase the burden on those with fewer economic means.
“Those who have opponents to this budget want to turn it upside down. They want those who earn more to pay less, and those who pay less or earn less to pay more. We do not accept this,” he said.
In conclusion, Balla stressed that fair taxation remains one of the main pillars of the majority’s fiscal philosophy, presenting this principle as an essential element of the 2027 Draft Budget.
