The chairman of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, has opened the campaign for the local elections of October 17 through a video message.

Looking at past campaigns, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that Kosovo has undeniable achievements in terms of institutions.

“The municipality is the beginning of every policy and it is the place where the citizens share together the benefits that an honest policy can bring, as well as the place where they are organized to solve small and big problems that hinder us all or to any of us “, says Kurti in this video message.

Further, Kurti says that, “More and more than in any of the other Balkan countries, the citizen of Kosovo condemns politics when it weakens our country.”

“Therefore, I am confident that in the local elections that will be held on October 17, the citizens of Kosovo, everywhere, will vote for the modernization project, honest and humanistic, of the candidates supported by Vetëvendosje Movement and not for policies that return abuses of millions of euros. “and the arrogance and violence of those in power,” said Kurti.

Further, the head of VV also mentioned the non-postponement of the elections.

“The elections were not postponed, despite the recommendation of the NIPHK, on ​​the risk of a pandemic, now we will have to participate in the elections and the victory of February, to match it with that of October, municipality by municipality.

“Meanwhile and all the time, everywhere we respect the measures, we are vaccinated and we protect ourselves and each other”, said Prime Minister Kurti.

“We know that development and progress, increasing welfare, fighting corruption, are difficult.

We also know that regression, a return to the situation of impunity, is easy because the corrupt are still there, young and old, even in the municipalities, and are always ready for power, until the justice system is reformed. “, Said Kurti, Klankosova.tv reports.

Donald Trump has attacked his successor as President of the United States, Joe Biden, accusing him of opening the gates of America and allowing a “hurricane” of refugees and “criminals” to enter the country.

In a statement to the media, the former president says that the Biden administration has shown disrespect and has mocked the staff of the Immigration and Customs Agency (ICE). “Our border is completely out of control thanks to the destructive leadership of Joe Biden,” Biden said.

“Border patrols and ICE agents have been ridiculed by the Biden administration. In our country a massive raid of people is taking place. Criminals who once left our territory immediately are now being left on the streets to commit horrific crimes. When I left office we had managed to make our border the safest in history. Under Biden it will get worse very soon. “He violated the oath to ensure the implementation of the constitution and our laws.”

President Biden did not respond directly, but White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told a news conference. “We do not take advice from President Trump regarding immigration policies. “His were not only inhumane but also ineffective,” she said.

According to US authorities, in February alone, 100,000 illegal immigrants crossed the border between Mexico and the United States and were caught by border patrols, indicating that the real number could be even higher. / A2news
