Prime Minister Edi Rama commented tonight on the invitation for a debate, which his rival, Sali Berisha, has made several times during this electoral campaign.
Asked why he refuses to confront the leader of the DP, Rama said: "He does not meet the conditions to have the fortune of a debate with me, a tar-and-ink individual who has not left my house, dead or alive, without spitting on it or trampling it with his feet."
The same question was asked to the head of government about the other 10 candidates in the race for prime minister, some of whom, such as Adriatik Lapaj and Lulzim Basha, have invited him to a debate.
"I don't know them as opponents in the sense... They are now, but with Luli, I don't think I can do anything more than communicate with a "selfie" video," Rama said on the "Off the Record" show on A2 CNN.
