"The opposition has returned to the habit that comes with the soul"/

In today's episode of the podcast "Flasim", Prime Minister Edi Rama also spoke about the swearing-in of Endrit Shabani as Ombudsman and the unrest in the last plenary session. Rama said that the opposition has returned to the habit of "going out with the spirit".

He added that the opposition came out against Shabani for Ombudsman, as soon as the majority said they would support the candidacies they brought. Rama described the casting of signatures and then the opposition to Shabani as "ridiculous."

"Another development that occurred this week was the swearing-in of Endrit Shabani in the Albanian Parliament as the new People's Advocate. The opposition returned to its habit of going out with the soul, put its limbs to work again, rekindled the torches of walking blindly through the forest and resumed the chorus of threats on behalf of an almost 100-year-old scarecrow.

So they supported Endri Shabani, gave him the signatures required by law, brought him into their bouquet of candidates, where for the sake of truth, this gentleman was the only one with one eye among some blind, blind people, and as soon as they saw that we, - who said at the beginning that we would not support any candidacy, but would wait to support one of the candidacies that the opposition would bring us - would support Mr. Shabani, they jumped up as if we were making one of our candidates the people's advocate.

Ridiculous to the end, that is, but besides being ridiculous, also tired to the end of their minds, which does not and will not teach them the lesson that with impudence and stupidity, me and this popular majority called the Socialist Party of Albania, not them, but no one in this country can impose anything on us. Impudence and stupidity are a language that we do not understand.

Endri Shabani has said as many things against us and against me personally as you want, but we chose him as the opposition candidate, respecting the principle followed before, despite the fact that this time we had over 84 votes needed and if we were those who we are not, but who they say we are, we could have chosen whoever we wanted, but we did not. As for those who regretted it, think again next time", said Rama. /CNA
