Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted on the “X” platform after the incident that occurred in New York, where during his visit to the US he was confronted by Albanian protesters who threw eggs at him.
In his reaction, Rama responded to critics in harsh tones, stating that such protests and incidents will not stop him on his political path.
The Prime Minister has linked his stance to the objective of Albania’s integration into the European Union, as well as to the processes of justice reform and the fight against corruption. According to Rama, Albania has changed significantly compared to the past.
At the end of the reaction, the prime minister also used ironic language towards the protesters and his opponents, describing them as “hysterical chickens of our village” and claiming that they act “on behalf of the laughing roosters of the political and media bazaar.”
Reaction:
To those who cover themselves with the national flag and run through the streets like hysterical chickens, I only say that I have raised that flag higher than it has ever been in the eyes of the world. As for those who think that they will stop me with mud, eggs and saliva, in my mission to take our flag to the top of the United Europe, I say that if for the first time in the history of the Albanian state, we have an institutional system that demonstrates the ability to self-cleanse, this is a great achievement that did not fall from the sky but came precisely as one of the results of this mission!
And let them listen and keep it in their ears, remembering that I can be defeated by the “miracle bombs” that amplify the word corruption in the sky day and night:
In a country that is drowned in the swamp of corruption, there is no frontal fight nor concrete results against corruption, and we have lived in that country, all of us, until I and my party turned the wheel of justice from the equality of all before the law!
Today, Albania is no longer that country, and that is why the European Union increasingly values Albania for this war, while the hysterical chickens of our village cluck and throw eggs in the air on behalf of the snarling roosters of the political and media market, who are as stupid as an egg, that they will stop me with endless rants about the corruption that is being fought by the very system we are building, or with folkloric insults and curses like that of this attached beak, which writes Albanian with chicken feet.
