“RAI3 Report” put on air a report a few weeks ago during which it confused and mixed the products of the Italian political quarrel over Italy-Albania agreement on the reception center for three thousand immigrants in Shengjin with the sludge exported from the political and media sewage channels of Tirana distorting the image of Albania and the dignity of Albanians. We are aware of the arguments that followed and became headlines of the Italian media after me opposing the scum”, writes Rama.

“Director of the “Report” program responded positively to my public invitation addressed to him personally, to confront the facts in the eyes of the RAI3 audience. We agreed that, apart from the bits and pieces of the interview done in my office, which they would edit and add to their script (with the easily legible aim of continuing to mix in the same cauldron of Italian politics the scum exported from Tirana) the uncensored interview will be put on air in full at the same time on Report’s social networks, as well as here on this page.

“Tonight, watch, listen and judge for yourself, I am not making any comments. We will talk tomorrow, we are here again”, continued Rama.

“Be careful, I’m talking about Giorgio, the journalist in the photo, not Giorgia, the main target of “RAI3 Report”, Rama concluded his post. /a.f/r.e/p.s./

In the “Flasim” (Let’s Talk) podcast, the prime minister’s guest to discuss media freedom was the opinion-maker Blendi Fevziu.

Speaking on the classic principles of journalism where the news should get confirmed by all sources, the prime minister stated that, “Today, there is such a high speed of providing information that what is news in the morning becomes history at dinner and there is no time to confirm”.

The prime minister pointed at “RAI 3” report as an example, emphasizing that, “It would not have happened in the past that a report was on air without any confirmation of the things said”.

“What happened would not have happened a few years ago. Making a show and don’t ask the persons mentioned for their version, i.e. without confirmation… In fact, there were not only things referred to, but they were all things taken from here”, said Rama.

According to him, “The moment you receive from one source a piece of news or a set of facts that are problematic and you don’t even confirm them, then you deal a blow to the victim; this would not have happened before”.

“The culminating point was the denial of the fact; in the meantime they had received the answers they had asked for, but had failed to use them”, said Rama, adding that this was an abuse and they cannot claim that they didn’t get any answer.

The prime minister emphasized that, “Here there is the need for an audience, the need to attract as much attention as possible and to feed the public with as many events and interpretations as possible, which put the public no longer in a boring relationship with the truth, but a very attractive relationship with the lie, fiction, conspiracy. It has become a world spectacle”, he added./p.s./

Writing on the x platform, PM Rama considered the broadcast, “An attack against Italian Prime Minister Giorga Meloni to the detriment of Albania”.

According to the prime minister, “The journalist himself admitted that he has lied on the facts provided during the broadcast”./p.s./
