From the struggle for survival to the difficulties of emigration/ Rama,

Prime Minister Edi Rama has published his next podcasting where the guest was businessman Agim Xhindoli, who is involved in politics and has contributed to the Democratic Party for 32 years.

During this interview, Xindoli spoke about the difficulties of emigration after he left Albania in '91.

The businessman told the moment when he returned to Albania after 3 years in Italy and his son did not let him know since he left him one year old.

" We grew up in a 4 by 4 room. Outside we had a hammam, we had a small kitchen, but the neighborhood we were in supported us immensely, they supported us from all directions", he says.

When I went to Italy, I went with an international license and I started driving after 15 days. I worked in Italy and when I left in '91 I left my 1-year-old son and when I returned I found my 4-year-old son. When I came for the first time, after 3 years, the son said to the mother "Who is this man sleeping here"

He saw that I was a hard worker and said "Gim, you're a good boy, you're a hardworking boy. Go back to Albania because here you will remain a driver". That was the moment he helped me in all directions; I came to Lushnje, opened the business together with my brothers and since '94.

4 months after I opened the business, I hired 3 Italians, I brought the first modern school from Italy which was the car inside the classroom, all types of tools and I brought all the equipment for car painting, I brought a painter, a coachbuilder for sheet metal and a mechanic, since '94.

They worked for 3 years in Albania, married Albanian women and have families to this day ," he said

Furthermore, he spoke without gloves and about Prime Minister Edi Rama's proposal to participate in the interview when the latter had asked him if it was difficult for him to conduct this interview.

"Me and my family say with all my mouth, that we are the only ones during 32 years who have not played for PD and we are in PD, where I and my family have contributed for 32 years. We are direct, we do not hide. That's why we respect that we are direct. We give our contribution, but I have no complex.

Even when you came to the factory that I appreciate you very much and respect you to the maximum that you are the first prime minister, - that I have not been in business for 3 days, nor three months, nor 3 years, on May 1st now, I turn 29 years old - and no one from politics, from the PD that I have my family contribution to, has come to visit my factory, neither for better nor for worse.

However, I am still grateful to everyone, what they have done I have made halal. I did it for myself and for my soul. I did it as a citizen. And when you came that day and said to me: do you have a complex? I told you: I don't have a complex, even I am the happiest in the world that a prime minister is coming", he added, among other things./CNA.al
