Writer Albatros Rexhaj has been involved in a debate with moderator Sidorela Gjoni on the show “Albania Live”. It all started after Rexhaj addressed the moderator, saying that in the interview she conducted with Prime Minister Edi Rama about the protest, she bullied him. After the debate, Rexhaj left the studio.
Debate:
Albatros Rexhaj: Albania is in a place where you Sidorela bullies the prime minister live and nothing happened. In my opinion, you saw a very unprofessional performance.
Sidorela Gjoni: Were you bored?
Rexhaj: It’s not that I was upset, but you don’t talk to the prime minister of a country like that.
John: Where did you see the bullying?
Rexhaj: Let’s see what happens in other countries, what they try to do with Trump and what Trump tells them.
John: Which part was bullying?
Rexhaj: It was the end of it. You saw your moment and you used it to the end. You bullied him and he stood by you because the prime minister is in trouble when he stays calm, “get up because I killed you, get down because I killed you.”
John: What was the sentence that was the biggest bully?
Rexhaj: However, Albania is a free country.
John: Will you tell me what the hardest sentence was?
Rexhaj: I believe we will do a special show about that.
Erald Kapri: How can you become the prime minister’s lawyer?
Rexhaj: I do it because it’s my right, you play the prosecutor. She (Sidorela) plays the bully, I’m playing the lawyer.
John: If you complained that someone bullied Edi Rama… where did you get the bad news, Albatross, that even Rama wouldn’t want this kind of protection from you.
Rexhaj: I’m not defending him, you bullied him and he felt stupid. Talk to me, don’t talk to me. If you had spoken, you would have said “pressure on the media, this is arrogant”. Let me say one more word…
John: Let me finish my sentence now, then you can talk.
Rexhaj: You have the studio, you can do whatever you want.
John: No, I’ll finish it.
Rexhaj: You’re not talking to the prime minister here, you idiot.
John: You’re better than the prime minister. You’ll let me finish my speech.
Rexhaj: There is no theoretical chance.
John: No chance?
Rexhaj: You can’t bully me like you bullied him.
John: Learn the meaning of the word bullying, Albatros, you have a very big problem and I’m sorry that you are a writer. I don’t know the meaning of the word bullying. What you are saying doesn’t make sense.
Rexhaj: What’s wrong with me, what’s your problem? You’ve brought up the issue that if you react, you’re arrogant, if you don’t react, you’re bad, you’re weak.
John: I haven’t made any comments.
Rexhaj: It was your most unprofessional appearance in your history.
John: Why are you so upset, Albatross? Who was upset more, you or someone else?
Rexhaj: Me more. Because it was very bad. Let me just say one word.
John: No, you won’t say another word because I’m going to ask you a question.
Rexhaj: I won’t come to your studio anymore.
John: Don’t come, you can leave now.
Rexhaj: I’ll never come to you.
John: You can leave at any moment, you can get up and leave.
Rexhaj: Thank you.
John: It’s a pleasure to have you here. I hope you don’t get bored next time.
Rexhaj: You have enough people cursing Rama in the studio, you can’t do that to me.
John: Greetings.
Erald Kapri: Are you leaving?
Rexhaj: I respect women. I fill the studio with people who insult Edi Rama.
John: I fill the studio with people who always think differently.
Kapri: Greetings to Edi Rama.
John: Be careful not to fall for us, we’re about to fall for you.
