Rama's visit to Paris, Berisha: President Macron should take into account the reality on the boulevard

Rama's visit to Paris, Berisha: President Macron should take into account

DP leader Sali Berisha has commented on Prime Minister Rama's visit to Paris, where he will hold a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron.

From the blue headquarters, Berisha said that Macron should keep in mind that the reality presented by Rama is not the reality seen every day on the boulevard.

He also brought up a historical example, recalling a meeting between former French President Jacques Chirac and former Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica, emphasizing that in some cases, leaders, according to him, do not reflect reality in the same way.

Berisha added that he cannot predict the content of the meeting between Rama and Macron, but said he hopes that the French president "will take into account" the situation in Albania.

Berisha: Yes, a meeting, lunch, at the Elysee Palace between President Emmanuel Macron and Edi Rama has been announced. Normally I could answer that I have no comment and I really don't know the purpose. But I do know one thing. In the tradition of the Elysee Palace, lunches are, so to speak, events for France to openly express its thoughts to the guest, which in the case of lunch gives the privilege of a guest at lunch.

I remember like today in this tradition, when the late President Jacques Chirac invited the former Prime Minister of Serbia, Vojislav Kostunica. And invited him to a lunch at the Elysee. After three hours of lunch and talks, Kostunica presented President Chirac with a reality that did not exist.

And in an unusual case, President Chirac, the late President Chirac, issued a statement in which he said: 'Also as a transparency towards the French who have a traditional friendship with the Serbian nation - this is well known - that I invited the prime minister of a friendly nation, but I saw that he absolutely did not believe in any other reality than the one he had in his head and that does not exist.' Now, will this statement be or something else, I cannot say what it will be, but this is a variant.

The other option is also to express support. I don't know what it will be, but I hope and wish that President Macron will keep in mind that the reality that Edi Rama describes, about the black market, the algorithm, about foreign agencies, Greek, Iranian, Russian, Serbian lately, is not the reality that exists on the boulevard of Tirana where hundreds of thousands of citizens have been protesting for 22 days in the most civil and sustainable way against a regime that has plundered them in the most ruthless way.
