“Your respected source made me do this,” Rama tells the Italian journalist about the photos of his rape in 1997: “Don’t mention my name here!”

During the interview, Rama also showed Italian journalist Giorgio Mottola some photos of his rape in 1997.

Prime Minister Edi Rama gave an interview to the Italian media “Rai3” in which he spoke about the agreement between Albania and Italy, about Francesco Becchetti and about the allegations against his brother Olsi Rama.

During the interview, Rama did not hold back on the word “disgust,” which he repeated several times in connection with the first part of the program “Report,” in which Albania was described as a “narco-state.”

During the interview, Rama also showed Italian journalist Giorgio Mottola some photos of his rape in 1997.

“They saw that I put them back. They were brought to me by a girl who was opening an exhibition on freedom of the press and took them out even though I told her they had already been seen. I know what it means to be a journalist.”

Stop naming me here. You asked me ‘who’? I gave you an answer. That is not the issue. The issue is this. I know what it means to fight for freedom of expression. I also know what it means to still have the marks on your skin, here and here,” Rama said, among other things.

Prime minister: I’m talking about the fact. For me, being a journalist is a big deal. That’s who I am.

RAI3: Are you in the picture here?

Prime minister: It’s me.

RAI3: What happened to you? I don’t know you with hair.

Prime minister: Because I was a journalist.

RAI3: In 1997.

Prime minister: It’s me.

RAI3: Who asked you that?

Prime minister: You saw that I put them back. They were brought to me by a girl who was opening an exhibition on freedom of the press and took them out even though I told her they had already been seen. I know what it means to be a journalist.

RAI3: Who called you that, Prime Minister?

Prime minister: The reputable sources you interviewed for the first series.

RAI3: He was neither a source nor an interviewee. If it had been about the opposition and the opposition’s issue, I would have come to you to interview you about Berisha. If it had been about the opposition’s issue.

Prime minister: Stop calling me here. You asked me “Who”? I gave you an answer. That is not the issue. The issue is this. I know what it means to fight for freedom of speech. I also know what it means to still have the marks on your skin, here and here.
