The debate

Bido: Who do you think you are to have the right to throw eggs at me?

Vatnikaj: You do not represent us, you were appointed.

Bido: I do not want to represent you, you did not vote for me. But nobody knows you and you do not represent anyone.

Vatnikaj: You were appointed by a painter who got votes through crime, oligarchy and the media. That is what you represent.

Bido: I represent myself, and I do not have any skeletons in the closet.

Vatnikaj: Look at the police beating a subdued citizen. Beating protesters.

Bido: They did not form a security cordon for the MPs. Democracy was surrounded. Parliament must not be surrounded. Democracy serves the country, not nonsense.

Vatnikaj: Do not bring crime into parliament for us, or oligarchy, when you have privatized everything from us.

Bido: You call me an oligarch and put Redi Muçi at the head of the protest.

Vatnikaj: Is that what you will defend? That violence? Your police are in torn uniforms, your party and the police station chief.

Bido: You strike the police officer.

Vatnikaj: They come out without equipment because you steal the tenders. You lie and deceive, not a single police officer has been assaulted. When you break your friend’s nose, do not expect him to just stand there.

Bido: What about the stone that hits this man in the head? How do you defend that?

Bushati: I am for flames and not stones. They are the blind tools of the thieves who are robbing the citizens.

Bido: You are for anarchy. Say it.

Bushati: You are the ones who created the anarchy.

Part of the conversation:

Sara Mila: When I was in your studio, I said exactly that in my view the protest is losing its compass. Many comments from protesters, or supporters, came at me saying I was talking nonsense. But I have to repeat it again, this protest has in fact lost its compass. It began as a movement over a project, where protected areas were the key issue. At the very least, in the listed points, a representative whom I do not know how they chose should have been the first point, since that is where everything started. So that was the reason, now the activist there also said political interference.

Edison Lika: These are deeply political demands.

Sara Mila: So we have an articulation that in fact this is a political movement and it has gone from the first demand to a political organization. Then come and let’s do politics. We can run in elections.

Edison Lika: How does a political movement differ from a non-political movement?

Sara Mila: You articulated several demands. The way you ask the question matters a lot, because this is not your show. Be patient and let me answer.It is a political movement when, out of the 5 demands published by this initiative, the first demand is resign, another is on the Electoral Code, another on the technical government. This is now a political movement. In your own words, I proved it. If it is a political movement, come and let’s do politics, but do not lie to Albanians by saying we are defending protected areas. That has been used.

Ylli Rakipi: Rama is dealing with several individuals within the protest. He accuses one of them of representing Iran’s interests. What is this strategy of focusing on individuals?

***

Edison Lika: You are lying, girl, I swear to God, Goxhaj is not a spokesman. You represent a party that is half in prison.

Sara Mila: The protest has lost its compass and you are upset. The prime minister is not dealing with the protesters but with the pseudo-protesters.

Ylli Rakipi: You do not decide that.

Sara Mila: They decide that themselves.

Ylli Rakipi: Why does it matter who the protesters are? There are thousands of people there.

Sara Mila: You cannot let an anti-national agenda hold it hostage.

Ylli Rakipi: You should read what is being demanded, not who is demanding it. You are breaking it down to say who is asking for it.

Sara Mila: Anti-national elements.

Edison Lika: They want to find the needle in the haystack. Rama has lost his compass. Aren’t you ashamed to copy and paste Rama’s statuses? You do not know how to write.

Sara Mila: 9 months ago we received 820 thousand votes from Albanians. There is no compass that Edi Rama can lose.

Edison: Did you see the vote of the MEPs? How was it voted?
