Ylli Rakipi retorted harshly with the vice president of PD, Agron Gjekmarkaj in the studio of the show “Te Paespozuarit” on MCN Tv.
Rakipi asked Gjekmarkaj why PD does not talk about the oligarchs, just like in the time of Lulzim Basha.
“Have you heard that they only call the name oligarch? Oligarchs, oligarchs and no name. Do you remember what Edi Rama said to Lulzim Basha, 12 years chairman of the DP, Luli raise your head! What are you going to talk about Çet Kastrati, Lulit i Luli, what do you have for Zamir? Why, after this time, what do they say, what names are they talking about? You are doing whatever you want”, said Rakipi.
Then the debate took a more personal tone. The journalist reminded him that he had a completely different attitude towards Sali Berisha, but now he speaks well of him as he is “looking for votes there”. Gjekmarkaj stated that Rakipi also has different attitudes.
Part of the debate
Ylli Rakipi: You have left nothing unsaid about Sali Berisha, now you want some votes there. I can get you the video.
Agron Gjekmarkaj: You have changed several times my dear in these 34 years.
Ylli Rakipi: What have I changed?
Agron Gjekmarkaj: You have changed positions, attitudes.
Ylli Rakipi: What position did I have?
Agron Gjekmarkaj: As a journalist.
Ylli Rakipi: I’ll say it. I had a newspaper. So that the Albanian people can hear it. I closed it for the partisanship part with you. Not with you because you were in diapers at the time.
Agron Gjekmarkaj: I also wrote in your newspaper.
Ylli Rakipi: You wrote. Good staff, nice it was, but no more for the newspaper and therefore I closed it. Now I make a program, but I make it as I think, in freedom.
Agron Gjekmarkaj: You have different attitudes from time to time.
Ylli Rakipi: Yes, yes. Now what if I come under the balcony too, with those 40 people sitting under the balcony?
Agron Gjekmarkaj: Freedom is not just your perspective on it, it is beyond us.
Ylli Rakipi: But who is not respecting your freedom? I have been calling you for an hour or so and you are talking. And at least shame as a teacher, you didn’t tell me anything, not like…
Neritan Sejamini: Yes, he is a politician.
Ylli Rakipi: What politician? He didn’t say a single thing that will stick in my mind.
Agron Gjekmarkaj: What can I say now? I fill your mind, it’s not my fault.
Ylli Rakipi: Hey, you tell me that civil disobedience went off the rails and became big. You should be ashamed to say that.
Agron Gjekmarkaj: I carry the shame myself.
Ylli Rakipi: Yes, keep it.
