Analyst Ilir Demaliaj spoke about the physical altercation with the leader of the Conservative Party, Kujtim Gjuzi.
As seen in a video posted on social media, Demaliaj attempts to hit Gjuzi. A woman tried to separate them by getting between them, but was pushed and fell to the ground.
Regarding the incident, Ilir Demaliaj said in an interview on "Shqipëria Live" that the situation became tense when Gjuzi told him "'sit here', I said 'should I sit with you since you haven't left anything unwritten?' The conversation became heated, now I don't want to discuss it anymore."
"It's not a video to be proud of. He wrote some statuses on his Facebook account, I didn't respond because I didn't have to. I saw him there by chance, he said 'sit here', I said 'should I sit with you since you didn't leave anything unwritten?' The conversation got heated, now I don't want to discuss it anymore.
"I regret why I put myself in that position. I am against violence, it was no good, we no longer had any communication. I received many phone calls afterwards, he wrote to me, but I want to end that conversation," said Demaliaj.
