"Corriere della Sera" writes that the Albanian prime minister was annoyed by the request to provide information about Trump's son-in-law. "Good luck in Albania for Prime Minister Edi Rama, who during a confrontation with several journalists pushed a journalist after a question about an investment project related to Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law. Rama allegedly physically intimidated the journalist Ambrozia Meta, placing his hand on her face. The video has circulated on social networks, becoming viral" - writes Corriere.
LA7 television writes that among the accusations leveled against Prime Minister Rama is that of favoring the son-in-law of the former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, for bringing "investments" in Albania, partially financed by public funds from Saudi Arabia .
"According to the same sources, the real investor is a Qatari oligarch who allegedly used Belarus to launder money and is now suspected of collaborating with Kremlin-linked Serbian leader Aleksandar Vucic. Rama's opponents remember the time when he was the mayor of Tirana and he generally described female journalists with very harsh epithets" - writes La7 .
"La Stampa" writes that Rama touches the journalist's face. "Unfortunately, Prime Minister Rama shows his usual arrogance towards journalists. I am sorry that the head of the government is not able to control himself when he is asked to deal with issues of public interest", - the Italian newspaper quotes the Albanian journalist. "La Stampa" also cites the SafeJournalists network, an organization that protects the rights of the press in the Western Balkans, and "WomenInJournalism" who have taken a clear stance against the prime minister and this violent gesture.
Politico: Rama refuses to apologize for delaying the journalist
"The push sparked a firestorm of controversy in Albania, not least because the lack of response generated further accusations about the investment round and possible favoritism to the scion of the Kushner real estate dynasty, Ivanka Trump's husband. The Albanian Prime Minister has refused to apologize after being accused of physically intimidating the journalist. There are those who remember that bad relations with the media have put the prime minister in the past. In some cases he forbade the media to participate in press conferences" - writes La Stam p a.
Even La Repubblica acknowledges the fact that the prime minister does not know how to apologize. "The Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, has not taken responsibility for the accusation that he physically intimidated a journalist who asked him about an investment project of Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner".
"Il Fatto Quotidiano" writes that Edi Rama pushed a journalist by putting his hand on her face at the end of a press conference. "The Albanian Prime Minister did not apologize. The journalist commented on the incident saying that it was "a low and shameful gesture, unacceptable. But the prime minister with his insulting behavior does not scare me" - the Italian media quotes the Albanian journalist.
