Rama used the term "autistic" as an insult, reflecting at midnight: It

In the course of the election campaign, Rama has not spared, in addition to attacks, insults and insults towards ordinary citizens, and special categories that are a vulnerable part of society.

Yesterday, Rama used the term "autistic" to attack the opposition, without considering that this term affects children with special abilities.

"They paid the world's money to pay Latif. They attack me because I say half of men are idiots. What can I say, I say it as a metaphor, it's not a clinical report. For me, anyone who goes to the swamp is half-hearted. Choosing between the EU and the swamp, the swamp means you are not good, politically you are autistic, it's not good ," said Rama.

Rama needed time to reflect and shortly before midnight he posted a video on Facebook, where he apologized for the term used with the excuse that "to err is human."

"I can't help but share this reflection. To err is human, while not apologizing is not manly. Completely unintentionally today I offended autistic children and probably hurt their parents by talking about political autism, an expression that has stuck in my mind somewhere that has also been used in political and academic literature and came to me today completely unintentionally. But, I had to make a mistake and then learn, that for years it has been considered inappropriate and in fact quite rightly so.

"Therefore, I apologize and assure you that I have not only respect, but also admiration for them and for the parents of children with special abilities, which has prompted me to urge the doubling of their support from the government. As I have said on more than one occasion, it will be part of the 2026 draft budget, while to the scoundrels who grabbed onto autistic children like a drowning man behind a blade of grass to gain points in the eyes of those honorable parents, I give my word that this will be one more motivation to spend all my energy to teach the deserved lesson on May 11 to all their undeserved adversaries at the expense of this people and this country," said Rama.
