The leader of the "Initiative-Albania Becomes" coalition, Adriatik Lapaj, admitted that he felt bullied and threatened by Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Lapaj linked his argument to the labels that Rama has indirectly made through the "Sy m'Sy" column. He said that he is afraid of the prime minister's behavior, since the messages he conveys during the campaign are interpreted by his entourage within state structures, but also by gangs close to the Socialist Party, as calls to attack political rivals.
" The prime minister of a country is an authority, not a 63-64 year old guy on the corner of the neighborhood who smokes for his own pleasure and speaks his mind. It is the state. I feel bullied and threatened, and I am afraid that he is the man who leads 10,500 police officers. It translates into an added message to the militants within the state structures that you hit this guy. The police inspectors, the members of organized crime who collaborate with him ," Lapaj said in "Debat" by Alba Alishani, on A2 CNN.
Asked what threats he has received after Rama criticized him, Lapaj said: " In every direction. Every day. Of all kinds and forms, mud and attacks from every side ."
Lapaj further emphasized that he and his associates will not stop the path they have taken, despite the attacks he claims have been made against them.
" I don't mind at all that I changed my mind, but I mean he's not an ordinary person. He's the prime minister of a country and when he speaks, his entire entourage receives indirect messages. I don't even ask about them. Of all kinds, of all groups around him. From people in state uniform to ordinary street criminals that I don't even care about, but there's no turning back on this path. There's no turning back. If not me directly, people around me, collaborators. But it doesn't matter, what matters is that we don't turn back ," he said.
