"So it's not the media's fault for criticizing the government, but Flamur Noka's for going there?"/ Fierce debate between Bushati and Haxhiu about the media and the opposition

Analysts Andi Bushati and Baton Haxhiu debated in the studio of the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV whether Albania is a democratic country or a dictatorship.

While Bushati said that this country has neither independent institutions nor a free civil society, Haxhiu said that the country is a captured democracy and the opposition is also part of it.

Haxhiu: Democracy is under attack.

Bushati: Do you have independent institutions, do you have free civil societies and associations? This is democracy.

Haxhiu: Bushat. Are we talking about a democracy that is represented by 10 opposition parties.

Bushati: Putin also has opposition.

Haxhiu: I don't want to define Putin as having no connection with Albania.

Bushati: What are you telling me about there being an opposition party?

Haxhiu: There are 10 opposition parties and they are represented in the media. Do I think they are controlled by Edi Rama and his political concept? I say yes. The influence is maximum, but what does an opposition do? EE delegitimizes a media that is with the regime. Tell me which opposition has gone..

Bushati: They are to blame.

Haxhiu: Of course. You delegitimize a medium that is captured by the system just by moving away from it, not participating.

Bushati: So the blame for you is not on Topi and the Clan who steal public funds to give lip service to the government, but on Flamur Noka who could go to the Clan or Topi. Hey, where are you?

Bushati: That is, to come to this conclusion that the fact that Topi and the Clan exist is the fault of the DP. Crime, crime, who commits it? You admit that there is crime and curse the legitimizer, while I want to point the finger at the criminal.

Haxhiu: That's why Bush's captured democracy is not functional.

Bushati: That's where the bargain is divided. One-third of the money went to such-and-such a television station, and the fault lies with the opposition that appears in the studios of this television station.
