Socialist Party MP Ardit Bido has reacted after Greece declared journalist Artan Hoxha "persona non grata".
Bido says this act is unacceptable for a European state to be influenced by the "last gasps of nationalism."
He says it is the duty of every journalist to confront political nationalism, and attacking them is the greatest abuse of European values.
Full reaction:
The detention of Artan Hoxha at the Albanian-Greek border marks the second time in a few years that Albanian journalists have been detained at the border due to their reporting and beliefs.
It is unacceptable that in the 21st century, the authorities of a European state continue to be influenced by the last throes of nationalism.
Seeking the rights of Cham Albanians, confronting the political nationalism of the Golden Dawn, Beleri, etc. phenomena, as well as protecting the national rights of Albanians, are not an option, but an obligation of every journalist and every Albanian.
Therefore, attacking them, through the declaration of "non grata", constitutes the greatest abuse of European values.
