There were violent clashes this Friday afternoon between Prime Minister Edi Rama and journalist Sidorela Gjoni. The head of government was invited to the "Shqipëria Live" show, where he was asked about the protests and investments in the Zvërnec area.
In fact, one of the points that was discussed was the interview given a year ago by President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, who told how she was fascinated by Sazan and had a desire to invest in our country.
"A video that went viral since the Zvërnec story began was an interview with Ivanka Trump... was the negotiation that simple? Did you just see it and take it?", this was the question that the journalist asked Edi Rama, while that was enough for the latter to "return" to her, pointing out that the question she asked him and the way she phrased it was inappropriate and, as the prime minister described him, according to him, he was an "idiot".
"I have a question now, are you kidding? Who are you kidding, the public, yourself, the country? Who are you kidding when you say that as soon as you see it, you get it, it's that simple?" Rama replied, while the debate continued and the Prime Minister reiterated that there has been no final decision on the Sazan issue, but it still remains in the negotiation phase.
On the other hand, John insisted that he was seeking clarification on the statements made public by Mrs. Trump herself and the way they were perceived by citizens.
Sidorela Gjoni: A video that went viral since the moment Zvërnec's story began was an interview with Ivanka Trump, who explains how she met Zvërnec while swimming nearby and so on. Was the negotiation that simple? She just saw him and took him? I don't know how it works?
Rama: I have a question now, are you kidding? Who are you kidding, the public, yourself, the country? Who are you kidding when you say that he took it as soon as he saw it, is it that simple? Once again, lady, lady, where did he get it? How did he get it? Who are you kidding? You are kidding the people who follow you and seek to be informed, because idiots don't make fun of me. Who are you kidding? No, you didn't say that? Was it that easy? What did he get? Who did he get?
John: Zvërnec to invest.
Edi Rama: She is not talking about Zvërnec, she is talking about Sazani. What did she get, how did she get it? You are raising a stupidity in the air and I must explain to you seriously that she did not get it, madam. It is scandalous what you are doing to Albanians and to the people who are there in protest with good intentions and hurt feelings by this kind of stupidity that you repeat.
John: Is her interview stupid?
Rama: If the lady in question had taken the island, a process should have taken place, because in Albania, regardless of how your collective imagination works, islands and properties cannot be taken and given secretly. They are done in broad daylight, nothing happens secretly, because there is no way it can happen. And today, after two years of talking, we do not have a conclusion about Sazani, because we are negotiating. But you are not interested in the truth, you are interested in spectacle.
John: No, I'm interested in the truth, as long as I'm having this conversation with you and asking you. You say you're talking nonsense, nonsense doesn't harm Albanians, I'm simply asking, what Mrs. Trump said in the interview and the interview went viral.
Rama: What are you asking, I listened very carefully and you said something stupid.
John: It's stupid to mock the troubles of citizens, my question is not stupid.
John: I'm looking for an answer to what the lady is saying.
Rama: The lady did not say "we saw it and we took it", you are saying it. I thank you very much for the opportunity. I thought it would be in people's interest to listen. You are not interested in people listening, while I am interested in people listening and now I will speak. You have abused your right to the fullest. I am here in front of the people... I also spoke two minutes ago and said that Sazani is a negotiation that has not had a conclusion so far.
John: Mr. Prime Minister, those who follow us have an interest in getting as much information as possible about what is happening, since we have this obligation...
Rama: You, those who follow you, have many obligations that you do not fulfill.
John: No, no, Mr. Prime Minister, those who follow us have an interest in taking from this what is happening.
Rama: To those who follow you, you owe an apology for what you said: "How did she get Sazan?"
John: No, I don't owe any apology, because I have never hurt the Albanian people with any decision, I have never worked a day in my life in the state. I have not made any mistakes towards the Albanian people. Someone who has been in power for 14 years and says that I need a little more time for you to have water and electricity 24 hours a day should apologize.
