[02] THE DP PROGRAMME - PROGRAMME OF ALBANIA'S SALVATION AND FREEDOM

TIRANA, MAY 16 (ATA) By F Nikolla - President of the Republic Sali Berisha again confirmed to Shkodra and Lezha constituencies that "The DP programme for the four years to come is that of salvation of Albania, the real programme of national freedom and that future parliament will be the most dignitary in Albania's history".

Berisha said that "with your elections of March 22, you guaranteed your work, your farms and your freedom. We today see this programme realised, and those who put it in life were you."

He continued that "The DP programme is based on your work but even in billions of dollars guaranteed for Albania, a fact which once more shows the faith western world has on the new Albanian farmers, businessmen and Albanians in general.

He said that the DP will strongly back countryside adding "Albanian socialists say they will remove taxes at a time when they speak in their programmes for progressive taxes. I promise you that together we will realise a study on taxes so that they become easier for you."

Berisha paid a visit to the tourist spot of Velipoja in Shkodra where he greeted inhabitants of this zone, remembering martyrs of democracy saying that it was the DP that revived religion in our country.

Parson Don Markaj Ukaj in his greeting said that "every ballot for the DP is at the same time a ballot in favour of Christian religion and religion in general."
