"You are Edi Rama's friend"/Arben Ahmetaj clashes live with Baton

Former Deputy Prime Minister Arben Ahmetaj clashed with journalist Baton Haxhiu during his live intervention on the show "Çim Peka Live", during the discussion held on the show.

Ahmetaj responded to Baton Haxhiu regarding his statements that the former number two in the government was questioned by SPAK before being dismissed by Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Ahmetaj told Haxhiu that he should not lie even though he is a friend of Prime Minister Rama, because according to Ahmetaj, he has never been asked by a person until June 2023.

Ahmetaj accused Baton Haxhiu, saying that he is paid by the incinerators and that with Rama, he "will be left without bread."

"No one asked me until June 2023. Secondly, things happened symbolically and the day Ilir Meta left, he fired me and the head of the organization's hand and voice trembled because he wanted to make me symbolic, Meta left and the one who gave him the file," said Ahmetaj.

"Leave this, because without Rama you will be left without bread...", Ahmetaj said, among other things.

Ahmetaj: If Batoni really had Rama as a friend, he would have told him that unfortunately Ahemtaj was not part of the incinerator of Elbasan and Fier.

Haxhiu: Last time you weren't completely honest...I don't intend to talk more than necessary...close this story...

Ahmetaj: Leave these things alone, because without Rama you will be left without bread...

Haxhiu: I don't accept being left without bread...

Ahmetaj: Before Rama, I had bread and now Rama left me without bread because he blocked the things I had with sweat... You were paid by the incinerators..

Haxhiu: Don't lie that I wasn't paid by the incinerators...

Ahmetaj: Please don't cut my stomach open...

Haxhiu: Don't lie that I didn't receive any money from the incinerators...

Ahmetaj: No one asked me until June 2023. Secondly, things happened symbolically and the day Ilir Meta left, he fired me and the head of the organization's hand and voice were shaking because he wanted to make me symbolic, Meta left and the one who gave him the file left.

When he found out that I was not accused in either the Fier and Elbasan files that we were going to court, he brought in the mercenaries of the Top-Channel media with the looter and Erioni… and did what he did. No! He did it all intentionally. There is no prime minister in the democratic world who would say that if I were a judge and prosecutor, he would have it worse. The day after, a few hours, SPAK took Eriola hostage and took her for a check, they took her hostage without permission. Please, when you mention my name, don't lie. Protect Rama because that's your job…
