The Albanian prime minister, Edi Rama, did not change his mind after protesting to Rai over the “Report” episode on the Italy-Albania pact. He called her “disgusting”. “Unfortunately – he explains in an interview with “Corriere della Sera” – I cannot delete that word. Not even the artificial intelligence can find another one that better describes that episode. However, I would like to clarify that I did not protest.” He telephoned director Corsini: “I have communicated to the public service a very serious fact, of which otherwise they would not have been informed. Before taking issue with the nature of my speech and crying foul, my dear friends in the opposition in Italy should take an interest in the causes and try to understand that dignity and transparency are important both when talking about the Italian public service and when it is about Albanian public institutions and the people who represent them.” “I – he added – have neither the means nor the intention to impose anything on the internal affairs of your country. However, I have the duty to protect mine from the horrible stereotype of another era, created by the media in Italy about Albania and the Albanians”.
“What do they have to do with us – the prime minister asked – all the controversies in your house about flows, costs, contracts and so on? Nothing. And what does the fact that the general secretary of the Albanian government was a criminal lawyer in Italy more than ten years ago have to do with the pact on migrants? And for what incomprehensible reason did lies have to be told and slander exported from Albania to Italy, to be thrown like stones at the witches in the eyes of Report’s audience?”. As for the former criminal lawyer Enjell Agaci, who once defended Albanian mafiosi and drug traffickers and who is now general secretary of his government: “There was irrational fury against Agaci. Beyond the damage the mockery. After having censored the cross-examination requested by the program from the general secretary and accepted by him, since he responded via email, they continued to accuse him of having refused to respond. It was too big a toad to be swallowed silently.” Rama asked the host of “Report”, Siegfried Ranucci, to be able to reply with a live interview: “On Thursday I exchanged a friendly message with the host Ranucci, after having published on X my reaction to his speech on an Albanian TV. Maybe I will finally be able to assert our reasons in his program, without being censored.” He did not speak to the prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, “because mine is a battle for the truth and dignity of Albania and the Albanians. Your prime minister has nothing to do with it, even if my country was brought up as a collateral objective of the assault against her government,” concluded Rama.
