While the Top Story studio was discussing the issue of Himara and the August 4 elections, researcher Ardit Bido and Fredi Beleri’s representative, Skerdjan Dhuli, burst into insults at each other.
Bido told him that he works for Vorio Epiri, while Dhuli came back telling him that he should wash his mouth before saying something like that about him. But the debate went even further with the use of insulting words, when Dhuli said to Bido, “kellire”, and the latter demanded his departure from the show.
Excerpts from the debate:
Dhuli: In the penultimate show, I said, in this studio, I said that I would prefer the lab candidate. I have also proposed this in our discussion circles. Why have I proposed such? Even with the risk that we could lose that race. What did this risk? It risked turning that electoral race into an Albanian-Greek battle.
Bido: And now you chose a vorio-epiriotist.
Dhuli: No, this has nothing to do with it.
Bido: So that it doesn’t turn into Albanian-Greek, let’s support Vorio Epirin. You rightists, conservatives.
Dhuli: Well, man of the earth, be patient, endure. We will beat Edi Rama again there, hold on.
Bido: You can win with Albanians, you can win with people who are patriots of that area, who have shown that they win the votes. Why are you trying today with vorio-epir, why are you supporting vorio-epir today? That is the question.
Dhuli: Who is supporting vorio-epir?
Bido: You!
Dhuli: Shout out to your mind that you have completely lost your mind. You’re gone altogether. Call to mind. Go down to the ground.
Bido: Are you proud to have mother Greece behind you? That slave is talking about all the Himariots.
Dhuli: Yes, I am not Greek. He speaks of those Himariotes who feel Greek.
Bido: He is the one who declared that 70% of Himariots are Greek. The one you support and that you support.
Dhuli: He is talking about those who declare themselves Greek, not about me. But you’re not paying attention, because your mind is on Edi Rama when I speak. The Beler who speaks now is the Beler of the Greeks, he is no longer my Beler.
Bido: So he has been working for Vorio-Epir for 30 years, today he lies to the public and campaigns.
Dhuli: The Vorio-epiri is an unimaginable idiocy that strangely comes to our studios and with it they get clicks of all kinds of ghosts.
Bido: Today, you rightists, who are the majority of the opposition. You are more than twice the number of Greek votes in Himar Municipality. Today, you, the opposition, chose to support a person who works for vorio-epir. You did not choose a Himariot, Albanian or Greek from Himara who does not work for a foreign country and is not anti-Albanian.
Dhuli: You don’t understand this, because you have no connection with that area at all. He talks in vain.
Bido: Am I not related to that area?
Dhuli: The Albanians made Beler mayor, not the Greeks. I said that the oligarchs that you serve, the beam of Kakome will collapse. It is the first promise that must be broken.
Bido: I do not support any party. I am against vorio-epiriotists like you.
Dhuli: Who do you call vorio-epiriotist? You can’t call me a vorio-epiriotist and get away with it so easily.
Bido: DP supports an irredentist
Dhuli: For you, defeating Rama is treason
Bido: Ore, take care of the blood of your ancestors because you are working for vorio-epir
Dhuli: I work for vorio epirin? Did you talk to me?
Bido: With you who support candidates to vorio epirin
Dhuli: You listen here, you chick wash your mouth when you tell me about vorio epiri
Bido: What did you say? Who are you talking to? Now you’re going to leave the show because you don’t talk to me like that
Dhuli: Legen, shut up because I’m not your friend.
