The debate a few days ago between analyst Lutfi Dervishi and Socialist MP Briseida Çakërri continues to generate reactions. It all started with a question that Dervishi asked the MP during an interview: "How do you explain the collapse of the euro? ", while in her response Çakërri briefly stated: "The lek has strengthened!".
The MP's statement, which emphasized that she had completed her university studies in Finance, immediately went viral on social media and prompted numerous comments.
Prime Minister Edi Rama has also recently addressed this debate, where during a meeting this Friday afternoon with entrepreneurs, the head of government criticized the analyst, without mentioning his name, but clearly referring to the rumored episode.
"I'm closing with one, because I saw him in one of these fast food places that brings algorithms. He spoke with a competent appearance, but a character who has no attributes to support his competence, no schooling in economics and finance, no training in economics and finance, not a day's work anywhere, except in the gossip and rumor industry ," said Rama, as he continued further, proving his MP right.
According to the Prime Minister, the interpretation that the euro "has fallen" is incorrect, as according to him the phenomenon should be seen as a strengthening of the national currency.
"He would say: 'Well, why has the euro fallen?' And when I hear the most natural answer that the lek has strengthened, it's as if he caught someone making a mistake. The truth is that the euro has not fallen, but that the lek has increased. The lek is a reflection of a different economy that is not the economy that existed 5 years ago," Rama continued.
