Adriatik Lapaj and Viktor Zhusti

Renowned actor Viktor Zhusti has reacted harshly on social media after publishing a photo with the leader of the "Albania Becomes" movement, Adriatik Lapaj.

According to him, the photo was taken only for personal use and with the promise that it would not be published, but was later used for political purposes, unfairly presenting him as a supporter of this force.

Zhusti says that publishing the photo has brought him concern, negative reactions and disappointment due to the breach of trust. He has also published messages asking Gerti Kames not to post the photo, a request for which, according to him, he received guarantees.

Following the actor's reaction, Adriatik Lapaj also responded, denying Zhusti's claims and saying that the actor had given his own approval for the publication of the photo. " Since you are so worried, I will remove the photo, but your conscience knows that the truth is different ," Lapaj wrote, adding that the actor's reaction is more related to fear of reactions than to his actions.

The debate between the parties has prompted numerous reactions on social media and has brought attention back to the use of public figures in a political context without their consent.

Viktor Zhusti's full reaction:

Oh, take the LAP...

I don't know if I brought you any good by wanting you to take a private photo when I was walking home after the show, but you've only brought me harm and worry.

I agreed to take a photo only for your private album since "you were very popular as an actor" and you promised me that you wouldn't post it, and I even told your co-fighter, the artist of so many films and the candidate for MP of "Albania Becomes", the son of my precious friend, Gent Kames, not to post it.

(I'm also putting the message for him and his promise) but you guys, it seems, needed a propaganda stunt for December 22nd...

Accompanying the photo with the comment "he came, met us and gave us positive energy"... makes me a supporter and sympathizer of your party and movement, "Albania is becoming", which never even occurred to me, because, in my opinion, Albania will truly become, emancipate, modernize, Europeanize, but ONLY with those against whom you are fighting by every means and means.

With your post, you brought me a lot of hostility, disdain, and negative comments, which I didn't need.

Yes, it's not the first time I've been disappointed by street friendships...
