The first to debunk the report was Prime Minister Edi Rama, who clarified that no such “disturbing”’ phone call transpired between him and the director of RAI 3.

“Rather than a tense exchange, the communication with the RAI director merely involved a request for a dialogue regarding the program’s perceived scandalously slanderous content,” PM Rama clarified in a statement.

The Italian media outlet has promptly reacted following Rama’s clarification, revising their reporting, acknowledging the need for correction and removing the alleged “disturbing phone call” reference from its revised article.

RAI confirmed Prime Minister Rama’s account, emphasizing that his communication with the RAI director was not confrontational but rather a request to be heard.

In their revised report “La Reppublica” clarifies that the RAI director “received a message from Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama requesting to discuss the episode of Report concerning the Italy-Albania agreement on immigration.”
