" The Albanian Prime Minister will address his compatriots in Athens. His visit will be private, there will be no official contact. The security measures will be draconian" underlines today Prothema in its article.
" The thriller about the much talked about arrival of Edi Rama in our country (Greece) ended at the end of last week and the Albanian prime minister will finally speak this morning at the Galatsin stadium, in front of thousands of his compatriots, - writes the Greek newspaper.
"And the visit can be described as private, since he will not have any official contact, but Mr. Rama will be surrounded by a strong police escort and an armored vehicle, while the presence of the police in Galatsi will be strong, to avoid incidents.
Edi Rama arrives in Athens at 9 am accompanied by members of his government and then goes to Galatsi. His speech is scheduled for 11 o'clock and he is expected to return to Tirana in the afternoon.
At least 2,000 people traveled from Albania to Greece yesterday to attend the speech of the Albanian Prime Minister at the rally stadium.
The visit of Mr. Rama, which "TEMA" discovered for the first time a few days after the announcement of Beler's candidacy in Athens, undoubtedly caused embarrassment to the Greek government.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis at protothema.gr and Antonis Schroiter describe it as " unnecessary ".
Of course, as " TEMA " learns, Mr. Rama intended to come to our country from April, but then the planning did not work because of the Easter days.
That's why he chose to come on Saint Thomas Sunday, a date that also coincides with the anniversary of Fredi Beleri's arrest in Himara, making... fans of statistics not believe in coincidences.
To speak, of course, in Galatsi, Mr. Rama took measures in advance.
The first attack was made by the Albanian embassy to the Christmas Theater. The businessman agreed, but the municipality of Galati did not give permission at that time. In particular, Giorgos Markopoulos, the mayor of the region, was the first to officially inform the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Giorgos Gerapetritis, that the Albanians did not consider such a thing appropriate.
After Galatsi, the scenario of Korai Square or Sintagma Square as well as SEF was investigated. SEF administrators, after contacts with ministers Gerapetritis and Vroutsis, agreed to give the "Melina Merkouri" hall, which had a small capacity, where the Albanians initially accepted, but then did not.
And so they returned to Galatsi's alternative and to the closed court once used by AEK basketball.
The prospect of Rama's arrival, whatever it may have been, is causing alarm in the Greek government. Because, the Albanian prime minister can attack the friendly government by talking about Greek-Albanian ties and preparing a folklore festival with singers and dancers. however, since he will dialogue with the Albanian community, any provocation in Greece cannot be ruled out.
" Anything said that is outside the context of the private visit will be responded to ," a competent government source on protothema.gr underlines.
It is clear that Rama's visit caused embarrassment for the right wing of the ND, but the same government source claimed that the Albanian prime minister had to be declared " person non grata " so that he would not come, but at the same time the government did not wanted to leave Lord Rama unchecked in an open space," concludes Protothema. / Source: Greek newspaper Protothema
