"I object, I object", Rama "clashes" with Von der Leyen: You have to be German so that they don't tell you what to do

Prime Minister Edi Rama had a "clash" with the EC president, Ursula von der Leyen, during today's press conference.

Von Der Leyen said that you should continue with your homework and Rama responded by adding that you should be in Germany so that you are not told what to do. At this point Von der Leyen voiced her opposition saying: I oppose, I oppose.

However, Rama continued his speech that this path of ours in the EU next year will become wider.

Rama: You have to be in Germany so they don't tell you what to do

Von der Leyen:  I object, I object.

Rama:  We have to push, push. EU produces something that you don't find anywhere, that you don't invent, that you don't learn in books. Where can we find the nationalization of democratic institutions. This summit was historic in this aspect as well. It is a road that will be wider next year. We have to do our homework. I learned the hard way that meeting the EU is about doing your own homework.
