'He was half crazy', Rama tells the moment when they wanted to kill
Edi Rama

In the Prime Minister's podcast this Saturday, Edi Rama talked to the entrepreneur Agim Xhindoli, who told about his difficult years, how he grew up in a 4 by 4 room, where 9 people lived, emigrating to Italy and returning to his homeland as businessman.

Prime Minister Edi Rama has told a story from the past, when they wanted to kill him in Lushnja. He said that he did not even think that such a thing would happen, while he was practicing his profession as a painter.

" I remember when I came to Lushnja for the first time because the famous land museum was being built and together with Vladimir Myrtezain, my close friend, but we received an order to do a work there and I liked it. very much like an idea because it was before 45, that is, to depict the Albania of Zog's time in a mural. And for me it was an opportunity for us to have a free hand because we justified ourselves with the idea that it is the Albania of Zog's time now and that's why the colors are like that, that's why the shapes are like that, and I have two episodes that are unforgettable.

The first episode when we reach the first day. We get off in Lushnje from the train, the first time we set foot in Lushnje and we go to the Myzeqeja hotel and it was right there, on the third floor and we both get into a room, two beds there, a modest room, there was no water. I opened the tap, there was no water. And while the phone rings, there was a phone there. I open the phone and it says: the almighty is waiting for you below. I didn't ask - I told him - any almighty, so I didn't have a meeting with any almighty and hang up the phone. It falls and once, I didn't open it at all. When the door rings after a while, I open the door and see a character in a gray suit with gray shoes with holes. Black people with a tie like a cow's tongue so thick that it says to me: are you going to shave that beard yourself or are we going to shave it, long? I used to wear one like a shaved beard, It was a revolt, you know? And then the shaved beard was a problem and I always said: see you tomorrow. He says "look, this is Lushnjë, it's not Tirana" and said "you have half an hour to shave", he said and don't even think of leaving this door without shaving, he said.

I don't have any water before I shave - I told him. "Look, I'll do it," he said, "but you better not go out of this door." No, I told him, I'm going out the door, what's up with that job and if you want, let's talk again, but bring me the water here so I can shave.

Ky ishte episodi i parë që se harroj atë tip. Dhe episodi tjetër ishte kur ne filluam të bënim pikturën, filloi piktura të krijonte shqetësime, jo po ç‘është kjo, jo po kau kështu dhe Ladi fliste më pak, unë flisja më shumë dhe i thoja unë “kështu ka qenë kau në kohë të Zogut, keni provë për të kundërtën  ju? Ku e dini ju? Ne mendojmë që ka qenë kështu, gërdallë e madhe. Jo, s’është kau i Zogut ky, ky është si kau i Pikasos. Nuk e njoh i thoja, nuk di gjë kush është Pikaso, unë di që ky është kau i kohës së Zogut. Po ç’janë këto vajtojca këtu, që kishim disa gra që qanin që dilnin si nga lumi. Ç‘janë këto? Po kështu jemi informuar që futeshin në ujë dhe qanin. Po kjo, po ajo dhe gjithmonë i sfidonim me këtë. Dhe një ditë të bukur çfarë ofendimi marrim, vendosin që veteranët të vinin ta shihnin, meqë ata e kanë parë në kohën e Zogut të shohin. Çfarë skene! Një ditë e dielë, ata merrnin karriget, ngjitur ishte kinemaja, me karrige me dekorata sikur kishin ardhur në një gjyq të madh si festë e madhe që do goditej virusi. Edhe ishte njëri, një person, i cili më ndiqte mua në Lushnjë, më ndiqte literalisht me një çekiç të mbledhur në një gazetë dhe thoshte : unë atë do ta vras. Dhe ishte gjys i çmendur. Unë e merrja me te qeshur dhe atëherë për hir të së vërtetës edhe unë kam pasur atë protektorin tim që ishte Gjergji Velo. Gjergji Velo ishte personazh, figurë. Gjergji Velo ishte atje dhe na mori në një farë mbrojtje, si të thuash", Rama said.
