"Albania 103rd in the world for freedom of speech", Rama denies it: It is not true
Prime Minister Edi Rama is having a conversation at the well-known "De Balie" center in Amsterdam, he also spoke about freedom of speech.
The moderator asked the Albanian prime minister how it is explained that Albania ranks 103rd in the world for freedom of speech. But Rama denied it saying that he said that the reality is quite different, according to him in Albania not only is there no censorship, but there are abuses by the media.
"I've lost count of what position we're in, but you have to understand that this is debatable. I know places where leaders check the headlines at dinner and see in the morning if they're set correctly. I don't believe this is a secret or it leaves a scar when you see that this doesn't happen in Albania. I have tried hard to change this. I have risked my life for freedom of speech. I have had to go through physical hell because I have spoken and sometimes, I cannot sit without speaking in front of crazy things that are the result of the abuse of the freedom of speech. But just look at the Albanian press for 3 days and understand that not only is there no censorship, nor pressure, but there is a very disturbing thing that is the complete legitimacy of the abuse of your freedom in damage to any individual they want to attack."
