Prime Minister Edi Rama was asked by Rai 3's Italian journalist if he promised a concession to italian art critic and friend Vittorio Sgarbi.
Journalist Giorgio Mottola said word circulated that Sgarbi was promised to build a hotel with facilities by the government.
Rama has turned it on, saying that if Sgarbi were to build a hotel, it would be 'the biggest brothel ever built'.
Part of the interview:
Journalist: Have you promised a PPP for Vittorio Sgarbi?
Edi Rama: Who says this...
Journalist: You promised a hotel with facilities.
Rama: If we had a hotel with PPP Sgarb, then it would be the largest brothel ever built.
Rama: You talk about the facts, where are the facts? If we're gonna give a hotel (brothel) to Sgarb, where is it? Where's the brothel? How can you spend time with Italian citizens speaking without facts?
