The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, has reacted harshly to a statement by Prime Minister Edi Rama, which he describes as insulting and discriminatory towards people with autism. "Autism has been discovered in children, but now also in adults.

Berisha stressed that behind the challenges of autism lies the extraordinary heroism of parents, especially mothers, who face great difficulties every day. He accused Rama of contempt and lack of humanity, saying that "it is a shame for a person who expresses himself like this to be called a parent or father."

DP leader Sali Berisha: Disdain for children, adults, yes children, since this disorder is mainly of children, has now long been discovered in adults as well, but it is mainly of children, Adolf Hitler had it.
He also, by decree, put children with defects in the crematorium.
Enver Hoxha had it for class purposes.
The dictator Boccaccio had it.
This is a super scandal.
To use a disorder, behind which lies an unusual heroism of children and parents, if there is a disorder where a mother is more heroic than any other mother with her effort, it is the mother of a child with this disorder.
And the child himself, who in many cases must grasp the words one by one, must acquire the words one by one.
And he comes up with this phrase, showing that it's a shame to be called a parent.
It's a shame to call this a husband.
It's a shame to call this guy a father with these words that say these children are heroes.
They make superhuman efforts and manage to get an education. But their path is a difficult one.
These are the ones he found to label.
