Next comes the broom at ABC. The new owners of ABC television, Shkëlqim and Blerim Devolli, have dismissed investigative journalist Artan Hoxha from this television.
Journalist Hoxha was part of ABC since the television was bought by Klodian Allajbeu. After the sale of ABC by Allajbeu to the Devolli group, a 'sweep' started in this television.
Journalist Hoxha, during the exchange of comments with the other journalist Flamur Vezaj, says that ABC has been taken over by the government.
Meanwhile, yesterday, Artan Hoxha said that he received threats after the publication of the Garda audio recording of the protest of January 21, 2011.
In an interview with journalist Rudina Xhunga, Hoxha said that the threats "that exceed any ethical norm" were addressed to his wife.
He further said that he discussed with his wife about denouncing the case, but he did not do it because he does not trust the prosecution.
"My discussion with my wife these days was due to the threats that have come to her and they exceed any ethical norm. I'm used to it and I'm insensitive, but my wife told me to report this case to the prosecutor's office. But I told him that I, in the prosecutor's office, am not able to solve this issue which is so important, I can no longer solve something personal and while there are other events.
This was done because it entered the cyclone of politics. I have followed many colleagues in the media and I think that in our work the number one defense is professionalism and how fair we are with the work we do. This is the first thing that protects you.
These days what bothers me the most is not the threat, as sometimes that impresses me when no one writes to me, it has become my litmus test. It bothers me and annoys me when people I know very well tell me to be careful, or tell me not to go out at night, don't go out alone, be careful what you drink, be careful where you sit. I try not to take these things seriously. But when some people tell him then it starts to impress you. The underestimation I do of time is for politics to do its job", emphasized journalist Hoxha.
Departures from ABC
The investigative show "Piranhas" informed a few days ago that in the next season it will no longer be broadcast on ABC News television.
In recent days, the editor-in-chief of the web, journalist Emirjon Senja, who grew and strengthened the web, has also left ABC NEWS. Journalist Senja has announced his departure.
Shows critical of the government have been shut down immediately and without warning on ABC NEWS
Journalist Endri Xhafo, through a post on social networks, announced that his show "Log." will no longer be broadcast on "Abc".
"This morning I was informed that, with immediate effect, the LOG show. is interrupted. So, for tomorrow, Tuesday, we have to notify the guests not to come. Official reason: ABC programming restructuring. The point is that with the current situation of ABC, the blame remains on the child and you have nowhere to ask for the right. You came out for good!", said Xhafo.
The next show that "has its signal removed" is the show "Vetting" and this has been announced by journalist Luli Progni.
In a post on social networks, she says that this Saturday the topic "Administration, like the electorate" would be broadcast, which deals with political pressure on the public administration to line up like the electorate, or to vote for the next party in power, but which will not be given.
