Have you ever taken drugs? Here's how Rama responds to the German

In his interview with the German journalist of "Zeit Magazin", Stefan Willeke, Prime Minister Edi Rama also answered some "unfiltered" questions.

During this interview, Willeke asked Rama if he had ever consumed drugs, while the Albanian prime minister's answer was that these words were spread during rallies and on the Internet, which was also used by the opposition.

Excerpts from the interview:

Some experts who study the structures of international criminal gangs believe that every European government today must address organized crime. Do you see it that way?

We are fighting organized crime like never before, and this is recognized by all the relevant authorities, but the accusations keep coming, and they are different. The opposition in Parliament has already accused me of all sorts of things, such as being gay and bisexual – which I am not. Apparently, they are also convinced that I am a rapist

… and drug trafficker...

Oh yes, "drug trafficking" is still the most romantic accusation.

Have you ever taken drugs?

Well good. That wouldn't be the worst either. I must have used violence against my mother and wife. My son is supposed to be my father's son.

All this nonsense was shouted at rallies, written in newspapers, spread both offline and online – all lies. Followed by the electoral losses of those who created these monstrosities. I am used to them, but my family has suffered a lot.

Do you like journalists?

Do I like journalists? A very general question. I admire independent journalism. But do I like all journalists? However, I know how terrible the world is without journalists. Therefore, I am not their problem at all. My problem lies elsewhere: Many years ago, I published my views in Albania's only independent newspaper, risking my life to do so. That newspaper was burned. So, I belonged to the journalism camp and I know how important that is.

But some Albanian journalists didn't see me that way when I talked about the main shortcomings of the media. They only saw my power, not my arguments. They shouted at the "autocrat" who harasses the media. I gave up opposing them or talking about them a long time ago.

You have excluded individual journalists from your press conferences.

We have only twice prevented someone from taking the entire press conference hostage, when there is endless talk on the microphone.
