A working group of local and foreign specialists who drafted the debt application file and who have family and business ties to the Minister of Finance, Petrit Malaj, received a reward of 500 thousand Euros, while another part will be used to pay the pensioners' bonus in March...
On February 11, 2025, the Albanian Government borrowed another 650 million Euros on the London Stock Exchange, with a repayment period until 2035, registering the 6th Eurobond, obtained in 11 years by the "Rama" government.
The truth is that the interest rate on the debt on the London Stock Exchange was 5.5%, while Albania secured it at 5%; but a financial confiscation measure was applied to the Albanian government, blocking part of the value of this debt.
In the information of "Pamphlet" from sources within the Ministry of Finance, it is stated that 15% of the value of this debt, equal to 97.5 million Euros, were immediately withheld at source; for the repayment of installments of other debts, which the government has not been able to repay according to the agreement calendar.
The confiscated portion is an obligation that the government has for the unpaid installments and interests of Eurobonds No. 4, 5 and 6, judged as a necessary "financial education" practice, for the stabilization and regularity of ongoing payments, of the 5 Eurobonds in the liquidation process.
Added to this was the debt of 650 million Euros, which, according to the Ministry of Finance, was taken to repay external debts, internal liquidity for investments made, pension funds and other investments in 2025.
The Albanian government secured this new debt through Tony Blair, who played the role of broker on the London Stock Exchange, as a former prime minister who has influence over its leaders, but also because his private companies are trusted partners on the London Stock Exchange, while Prime Minister Edi Rama has his wife Cherie Blair as an advisor and lawyer.
For the real estate transaction, Tony Blair received 2% of the value of the 650 million Euro debt, which is 13 million Euro; but a working group of local and foreign specialists who drafted the debt application-request file also received 500 thousand Euro as a reward; who have family and business ties with the Minister of Finance, Petrit Malaj.
In the context of using this debt, the government has also planned to pay the bonus to pensioners, which would be given in February, but the Prime Minister explained that the delay was caused by internal issues, which turned out to be due to a lack of funds and the debt was expected to be received./ Pamphlet
