The Chairman of the Opportunity Party, Agron Shehaj, has provided details regarding the visit to Mar-a-Lago, where, according to him, he was there at the invitation of an American senator.
He rejects the claims of Prime Minister Rama, who stated that Shehaj paid millions of euros for that meeting.
" The truth is that I was at this meeting, I took photos after this meeting. I was forced to take photos of the meetings I had. It is serious how Rama attacked all the media as if I had paid millions of euros for that meeting. This is a slander, which is dangerous even for him, it is like playing with fire. The moment he says it about me, this means that he is also accusing those who invited me of having received money and not declaring it. This is a very serious accusation. The Prime Minister thought that in the US he could behave like in Albania, he took a lot of risks," he told Euronews Albania.
Meanwhile, Shehaj emphasizes that Prime Minister Rama's reaction has implied that a lobbying effort is being hidden. Asked if he really paid money to be at Mar-a-Lago, the leader of the 'Mundësia' Party maintains that this is simply an accusation, since he received an invitation for that meeting, and as such did not pay a single lek.
"I did not pay a single lek. What the prime minister has done is simply slander. Despite having extraordinary power, he cannot even receive a simple invitation, and he must justify my presence, which I apparently paid for. Edi Rama's accusation is untrue, I received an invitation and I did not pay a single lek. I take responsibility for this, but he must also be held accountable for the accusations that we are allegedly dealing with a secret lobbying case ," added Agron Shehaj.
