In the "Eye to Eye" column, Edi Rama responded from his social network to a commentator who criticized him for the prime minister's visit to Spain, where he met with the King of Spain, Felipe VI.
" Today Sali non grata posted about his visit to Germany and "boasts and brags", that he had met with 85-year-old Doris Pak and some elders of the German parliament!!!, whom he paid years ago to support him in his thefts and greed, towards Albanian citizens. You Edi Rama today, you are "boasting and bragging"!! that you met with the king of Spain, who even today, this king of Spain, still does not recognize the state of Kosovo. Where is the "interest" here? Even if G?zim Kulufi were prime minister today, he would go to meet the king of Spain, as the legal representative of the Albanians, and you today, that's why you go to meet with the king! This "meeting" thing is so simple!!!! Oh my god!!! you opened our stomachs!!!! with this nonsense "- writes the commentator.
In his response, Rama explains that for the first time the King of Spain is receiving the Prime Minister of Albania in audience and that his visit was not accidental. Rama says that Albania was chosen to host the World Congress of Law, among strong candidacies, and this is thanks to the justice reform.
" Agree, disagree, we are the only ones to find fault, but the interesting thing here is that for the first time the King of Spain is receiving the Prime Minister of Albania in audience. Not because it was his duty, or because of a whim, or because I happened to be at his house. But because Albania was chosen to host the World Law Congress, among strong and much more reputable candidacies than us in the democratic world. Yes, why was Albania chosen? Because the board of the World Association of Jurists that is also organizing this World Law Congress, whose honorary president is the King of Spain, praised everything that Albania has done with the justice reform. Yes, yes, with the justice reform in an extraordinary effort to free justice from the hands of political power after 100 or so years. Of course, whoever expects justice in Albania to be without problems, without gaps, to function like a clock that does not make mistakes, hastily reasons, of course out of the desire for the best, yes, hastily because a slave builds a house without a permit and it takes two or three years, but building a democratic state, establishing democratic institutions, functioning at the height of expectations of a new justice system in a country where there has been no justice for 100 years or so, does not value his time. Of course he does! Yes, it matters, there is annual progress, monthly progress, even daily progress, and for this reason, membership in the European Union is of major importance, because it will seal the irreversibility of this progress and a country of the rule of law. At this point, I do not believe there is any dispute that what has happened with the independence of the Albanian judiciary in just the last 10 years, from the creation of the Judicial Reform Commission in 2014, to its approval in 2016, to the radical cleansing of the system from the most corrupt through vettig, to the establishment of new judicial institutions, then to the left and right attacks on individuals connected to political power in recent years, did not happen, did not happen in the 100 or so years that preceded the judicial reform, where no person connected to political power was investigated or tried by an independent judiciary. This is the fact and who led it and who guarantees this historic turn for the Albanian state. Of course, today's majority and tomorrow's majority are definitely in government, me and the Socialist Party. "That's why whether you vote for our reformist force or not, whether you like it or not, give it its due and be careful, be careful, because the others of the new justice system only want to throw a noose at it, whether they are those of the soot-filled chimney, or these of the small old and new braziers who are the same on a barricade, including those against the justice reform, regardless of what they say," Rama said.
