No one expects an answer from Rama anymore

By Edi Paloka

I haven't been following dinner shows in the Albanian media for a long time. I have decided to do a detox of sorts!

However, I am obliged to follow the main information and comments that are made after these shows.

I found two elements today after last night's broadcasts where the leader of the opposition, under arrest for more than 300 days, and the head of the government were simultaneously on two national TVs.

First, although every afternoon Berisha gives his and DP's positions on every problem or event that happened in Albania, in what is now known as the "Road of Hope"; although at least once a week he is in front of journalists and answers all the questions that are asked to him (so it is assumed that public curiosity and interest in what Berisha has to say is exhausted), it still turned out that Berisha was followed more than Rama.

Meanwhile, Rama really stays on the screens more, but only with propaganda output and not in front of the public's interest or journalists' questions, even though most of them receive their questions from Rames' offices!

So for once, the public should be more interested in listening to Rama and the answers he would give to dozens of questions that arise today about a prime minister whose government and he himself go from scandal to scandal. But that didn't happen. The public followed Berisha more. Why does this happen?

For many reasons in fact, but the main one is that no one trusts him and no longer expects an answer from Rama!

Even the journalists who interview him, do not manage to get any answers from him, but despite this, they do not persist with the questions because they are also under pressure to maintain a line, which does not upset his highness too much. 

And here we come to the second element that I noted with pleasure from last night's shows; the questions that nailed Rama were not from the journalist, but from the citizens. I don't know if this was a deliberate finding by the journalist or a coincidence, but the result is what matters in this case.

 The know-it-all, who recently appointed himself at the head of Albanian science, although he had tried to act as an economics professor, in the end he was left speechless in front of the questions of some "old women" (as he calls them when they interrupt him), because propaganda always remains speechless in front of reality!
