"Anxiety over privileges like KarloMedia"/ Këlliçi-Bollinos: Model of the anti-journalist who interferes in the administration

"Anxiety over privileges like KarloMedia"/

Democratic MP Belind Këlliçi reacted today to publisher Carlo Bollino, whom he says is pressuring public debate.

Through a post on social media, Këlliçi states that Bollino is a model of an anti-journalist who interferes in the administration, recalling several sensational cases.

According to Këlliç, politics does not need privilege guards dressed as journalists, but strong institutions and free media.

"In a serious public debate, pressure does not replace proof and insinuation does not replace responsibility!"

Mr. Bolino did not respond to me with facts, but with a self-justifying monologue in which he writes hurriedly and anxiously, sometimes as a journalist, sometimes as a businessman, and sometimes as a threat. And during the rapid change of these costumes, both his breath and his mind are taken away.

Insinuations without evidence and threats of SPAK against a member of parliament for political positions are pressure on public debate, not protection of free speech and the public interest.

From an ethical point of view, I am giving two small lessons to the “investigative” journalist about the opposition’s affairs in authoritarianism: informal intervention in public administration is not undone by calling it “helping a friend.” This is not investigative journalism, but anxiety over the loss of authority and privileges like KarloMedia.

I'm not bothered by insults. Nor by pressure from Karlo, much less. I'm even reminding him that I haven't counted his paymasters and bosses (Rama, Balluk, Veliaj, etc.), let alone their soldiers!

I even encourage Carlo to file a new lawsuit against me in SPAK, because when I have won 11 of these so far in the GJKKO, let's make a dozen, to comfort Carlo's pain.

I am outraged by something else, by the normalization of an anti-journalism model that interferes with the administration, takes public land in violation of the law, uses the media for privileges from the government, to threaten any opposition voice, and "sets" the teeth of pressure from young people (not only in age), who enter politics to make a difference, whether intellectuals, experts, or idealists.

Politics does not need privilege guards dressed as journalists, but strong institutions and a free media. If Carlo thinks that pressure, insinuation or fear are ways to maintain power, he is gravely mistaken for the times.

Albania has entered a phase where authority is neither inherited nor imposed, but is earned and justified by standards, law, and ethics. And here is the dividing line between a model that lives off mercenarism and a politics that is built on transparency.

"I choose the second one, the only one that honors the state and the coming generation," says Këlliçi./ CNA
