"Flamingo revolution is the result of hatred towards Trump", Rama on

Prime Minister Edi Rama was present today in Dublin, Ireland, invited by the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA).

He spoke before an audience of European and Balkan experts and diplomats on the topic "Albania's European Journey: From Aspirations to Integration".

Regarding the protests in the streets of Albania, Rama stated that they are based on hatred towards American President Donald Trump.

“This 'flamingo revolution' is the result of a hatred of Donald Trump. If Trump's shadow were not in the background of this environmental issue, which is not even environmental, you would not have heard of flamingos in Albania. All those who hate Trump found the boulevard of Tirana to do this battle, just like Caesar who found southern Albania to have the last word against Pompey. This is how it works in a small country. So many lies and half-truths are spread. I think the Irish are similar to the Albanians, we are stubborn and unjustified. The French are flexible and sophisticated. We are not so sophisticated ,” Rama said.

Regarding the Zvërnec project, Rama underlined that it will transform Albania. The Prime Minister explained that Jared Kushner is not treated differently from any national or international investor, but according to the laws in force in the country.

Rama assessed that the project will be an emblem, even in Europe.

"When Trump was elected, they told me I was in danger because I was friends with George Soros, and it's true. But when I met Jared Kushner and we had the first conversation about the project, Trump's future was not so clear. He was a candidate to go to prison. Kushner was an American who wanted to do something in Albania. For Albania, the US is a friendly country, which has always helped it.

"Kushner should not be seen as Trump's son-in-law, but as a person who wants to invest in Albania. The project will transform Albania. For the project, we have also published facts that Kushner has not received any different treatment from other local and international investors. Kushner is not treated differently by Albania compared to any other investor. The Albanian government has requested a project that will be an emblem in Europe. I worry about how to do the best for my country and how any development is based on the principles and legal limits that oblige everyone to fulfill them. I cannot judge who is honest and who is not, this is determined by the court," Rama said.

Asked about the change of power in Serbia, Rama stated that the EU had problems with the previous Serbian government. According to him, the new government in Belgrade also has the same approach towards Kosovo.

"It is true that the EU had problems with the former Serbian government. There were significant problems with the rule of law. Serbia is going through a social experiment. It is something quite new, in many ways. It seems that there is no opening for normalizing relations with Kosovo. There is no opening regarding sanctions against Russia. Let's see, it is interesting, but it is too early to be enthusiastic about the change of power. The ghost of the past will continue to haunt Belgrade and the Serbian catharsis is difficult to achieve ," Rama said.

Regarding the emigration of Albanians, Prime Minister Rama underlined that there are a number of reasons.

According to him, a young Albanian is easily tempted to flee when he sees cellphone footage of Western European countries and believes that everything he sees is reality.

"Listen, I have to answer this question often, but not often in a country like this, where migration was once the only way to live. That started to change, not just when Ireland started to change, but when Ireland started to give people a reason to choose between staying and leaving. That's something that's coming for us too. There's also a new world, that comes to young people through smartphone screens, that appears in wonderful colors and not in true colors.

A young man in Albania says that an hour away I have something wonderful and says why not go to the future immediately. We must not forget that Albanians have been in a regime where we could not move and leaving the country was high treason. There are also people who are returning. The reality will change, when Albania has to give more to its citizens", concluded Rama.
