The Socialist majority supported in Parliament the initiative of Prime Minister Edi Rama to close the betting points and casinos in residential areas, while there were other more drastic proposals.
Erjon Brace proposed that they be nationalized: "Nationalize, make it a state monopoly, do not make guerrilla war in the basements."For those who are in danger of being left without work, the finance minister has indicated a program for retraining their professional skills is being prepared: "We are preparing a retraining program for all those who will be unemployed from the services of this industry. The National Labor Service begun work on drafting a specific program for compulsory retraining."
Brace and Ahmetaj were also protagonists of an interpellation demanded by the head of the Economy Committee on the Finances of the Albanian Football Federation.
"In no case I will close my mouth in front of individuals or institutions that have gained fiscal immunity," Brace said.
While the Minister Ahmetaj acknowledged that there are still informalities in football, but is focused on sports clubs: "Formalization in clubs is an emergency. They have begun to reflect the salaries, but we are still far away ".
