TIRANA, June 14 /ATA/ Rama drew attention to how the recent protests are damaging the country, pointing to a direct rise in foreign tourists canceling their reservations. Opening the latest Flasim (Let’s Talk) podcast, he emphasized how the hostile public discourse is taking a toll on Albania’s economic and tourism growth.
Conversely, the Prime Minister highlighted Vlora’s overwhelming desire for growth and development. He then highlighted a troubling trend of canceled bookings by foreign tourists. Rama warned that sabotaging Albania’s peak tourism revenue ultimately harms the country, and he questioned whose interests are truly served by such disruptions.
The prime minister noted that the protest strategy has failed to turn people against the government, but will still cause major harm. He also strongly condemned online harassment on Facebook and Instagram as a disgusting symptom of current discourse.
PM Rama condemned political bullying, calling it ‘fascist’ and ‘scandalous.’ He emphasized, ‘No group or party should impose its will on others through threats and violence. This must be stopped, and it will only be stopped if we refuse to back down to these bullies.”
