Igli Hasani Calls MEP “Stupid and Delusional” in Committee Clash

The Democrats had expected the Prime Minister’s Office to respond to the Czech MEP’s accusations against Edi Rama, but the reaction came from Parliament. Former minister Igli Hasani described him as yet another “delusional” and “stupid” person who, according to Hasani, publicly insults Albania.

Opposition representatives distanced themselves from the statements made by the chair of the Committee on European Affairs and Foreign Relations and called on Hasani to withdraw his insults against the MEP.

Albana Vokshi said that the opposition distanced itself from these comments and asked the former minister to do the same, as, according to her, such remarks damage the committee.

However, Vokshi’s request was rejected by the former foreign minister, who stood by his assessment.

Hasani said that anyone who makes absurd, ridiculous and filthy accusations against any Albanian, including the prime minister, is “stupid and delusional.”

He included the MEP in what he called the series of fools who appear before the committee every day, adding that he did not wish to have any contact with him.

After the exchanges concluded, the committee continued its meeting behind closed doors. The agenda included issues related to Albania’s negotiating position in the European Union.
