Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted to the criticism that followed his speech about "Flamingo Boulevard", clarifying that his message was not addressed to critics, but to the "lessons" that, according to him, he learned from the flamingos.

In a post on the social network X, Rama said that the reactions to his resignation come from people with whom he does not have a political contract, while emphasizing that his agreement is with the 800,000 Albanians who voted for him.

"Our Besa has nothing to do with them," Rama wrote, referring to those he described as "crows and ravens," who, according to him, are "the dark side of the protest."

Full reaction:

I receive various messages via WhatsApp, from friends and strangers, about my speech about Flamingo Boulevard. One of them, which I also heard with the original audio from under the office window, has a comment:

They repeat that they don't want "dialogue", no "negotiations", they don't give "trust" but only want my resignation! Big misunderstanding.

None of them voted for me, I have no contract with any of them, and for none of them, or even for all of them together, it has never occurred to me to break the contract with 800 thousand Albanians, among whom there are plenty of flamingos!

My speech was about the lessons I learned from the flamingos and was addressed to them, not the black feathers that gather every night on the boulevard after the flamingo migration.

In that speech, crows and ravens were part of it because they are the dark side of protest, but not because they share in those lessons or the obligations derived from those lessons.

So the crows and ravens should never tire of rejecting the TRUST because our TRUST has nothing to do with them, nor should they stop coming under my window with a request for resignation until 2029 if they want to! Because freedom is the same for them too and democracy works the same for everyone.

While my contract with the Albanians does not depend on them in any single point, it is the property of all those with whom I signed it, as well as the cornerstone of democratic life.
