Prime Minister Edi Rama said today that the former Italian Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema is not his advisor, but a mentor, while emphasizing that he has never talked about trade with him.

"I have never talked about trade with Massimo D'Aleman. I always talked about politics, I always talked about Albania, I always talked about... Then, he is free to do whatever he wants. Well to always present these things like this! I am not aware of any lobbying company, but I would ask you to leave Massimo D'Alema out of this swimming in the mud that we are doing together", said Rama.

Rai3: Listen, you have an excellent relationship with Xorxha Meloni. You had excellent relations with all the prime ministers, especially Massimo D'Alema.

Prime Minister: Yes.

Rai3: Massimo D'Alema, is an adviser of yours, you appointed him as an adviser.

Prime Minister: No, I did not appoint him as an adviser, because I would not allow myself to appoint him as an adviser. He is a mentor.

Rai3: Ah, it's a mentor.

Prime Minister: Yes. He is one of the greatest statesmen, in my opinion, after the Cold War, and he is one of the most beautiful minds I have ever met. To enjoy his friendship is, for me, a great medal of honor.

Rai3: Even D'Alema has come to Albania to do business.

Prime Minister: What trade? What has he done?

Rai3:  It has set up a lobbying company.

Prime Minister: What about trade?!

Rai3: AEI

Prime Minister: Unbelievable! I never talked about business with Massimo D'Aleman. I always talked about politics, I always talked about Albania, I always talked about... Then, he is free to do whatever he wants. Well to always present these things like this!

Rai3 : Yes, he founded a lobbying company. D'Alema has a lobbying firm in Italy and has founded one here as well. AEI is called.

Prime Minister: AEI

Rai3: AEI is called.

Prime Minister: I know he works for Ernst & Young in Italy.

Rai3: There is a lobbying society in Italy as well.

Prime Minister : And it is not a lobbying company.

Rai3: No, he has his own lobbying company in Italy.

Prime Minister: I am not aware of any lobbying company, but I would ask you to leave Massimo D'Alema out of this mud swim that we are doing together.

Rai3: It's not swimming in the mud, because a former partner of his, Consulcesi.

Prime Minister : Who is it?

Rai3: Consulcesi, which has opened a training company.

Prime Minister: Whose former partner?

Rai3: D'Alema's

Prime Minister : Yes, I don't know...

Rai3: Massimo Tortorella. You participated in 2019 together with D'Alema in the inauguration of this company, of this subsidiary in Tirana, which, even in Italy, has three hundred to four hundred employees.

Prime Minister: And then?

Rai3: In that case, the Minister of Health declared professional training mandatory for doctors, in order to exercise their profession.

Prime Minister: Unbelievable! Unbelievable!

Rai3: Why?

Prime Minister: Unbelievable! We want, we wanted to use an Italian excellence, to carry out a training process, let's say, to increase the skills in our health sector and this turns into a problem?

Rai3: No, it's not a problem. It's just a circumstance that makes me curious, that Massimo D'Alema's former partner opens a company here, and this company, at the moment it opens, has a decision that somehow favors him, even in relation to other entities….

Prime Minister: What happened then?

Rai3: I don't know, that's why I'm asking you.

Prime Minister: I'm sorry, but nothing happened. I'm sorry, it was supposed to happen, but it didn't.

Rai3: We published the answer on the website.

Prime Minister: No, the publication on the website came later, when we raised our voice. If we had not raised our voices, the publication would not have been made.

Rai3: From a journalistic point of view, the answer was.

Prime Minister: From a journalistic point of view, she is a child and you said that she had refused to answer. Meanwhile, you had all the answers. I have seen that...

Rai3: This is an interview and you are answering me.

Prime Minister: I'm sorry, you made the request in writing, and when you made the request in writing, you didn't say that I want oral answers as well. Did you ask them in writing? You got the answers in writing. And not only did you not publish them, and not only did you say he didn't respond to you, but when you talked about his stuff, you told lies. Lies. OK? And, not only a lie, but you put it in such a light, that I see that, according to you, it is the only way to investigate, but it is not true, because it would not be a sin if an investigation also went to favor of your investigators. That is, you should not always be right, that you go in to find the guilty and now people are guilty, because you have to justify your work. You could do an investigation and, in the end, say "no, Albania is not a narco-state", because this is an insult to a people and an insult to a country.
