Rama takes the journalist to re-education for 3 months / DP reacts: Monologue

Secretary for public relations, Jola Hysaj

The Democratic Party has strongly condemned media censorship and asks Prime Minister Edi Rama to remove the press conference from public communication.

The DP's reaction came after, during a press conference, Rama communicated to the "A2CNN" journalist that he would not be part of the prime minister's next conferences for 3 months.

In a statement to the media, the secretary for public relations, Jola Hysaj, emphasizes that the monologue is his refuge and when a journalist is in danger of not practicing his profession, Albania is in danger.

“Partia Demokratike përshëndet qëndrimin kurajoz të gazetarit të 'A2', Klevi Muka. Ne, dënojmë censurën dhe mospërmbajtjen etike e protokollare të kreut të Qeverisë.

Dënimi me riedukim, duke i ndaluar pjesëmarrjen për tre muaj në konferenca shtypi, një gazetari, është një akt i paprecedent i marrdhënieve media-qeveri në të gjithë Europën.

Të ngjashmit e këtij qëndrimi gjenden vetëm në Turqinë e Erdoganit, Rusinë e Putinit, Korenë e Veriut të Kim Yongut.

Partia Demokratike përshëndet reagimin e 'Reporterëve pa kufij' pas incidentit në konferencën e djeshme të shtypit. Me këtë rast, u kërkojmë edhe organizatave të tjera të lirisë së shtypit, që të shtojnë presionin mbi një qeveri që nuk lejon gazetarët t’u bëjnë pyetje ministrave.

The Democratic Party asks the relevant international factors, represented in Tirana, to join the reactions against media censorship.

Year-end reports are not enough. The contradiction between reports and attitudes here in Tirana is not noticeable. Finally, we ask Prime Minister Rama to remove the press conference from public communication.

Monologue, not dialogue, is his refuge. It seems clear that in the press conferences he cannot control himself, nor the situation. When a journalist is in danger of not practicing his profession, Albania is in danger", said Hysaj. / AE-CNA.al
