Yesterday, PM Edi Rama raised the alarm that Albania will be struck by a global energy crisis, which according to projections is expected to influence an increase in the prices of various items, including fuel and electricity.
This, in turn, became the main topic of discussion during tonight’s political commentary show ‘Shock’ hosted by journalist Bruna Cifligu on Euronews Albania.
Analyst Andi Bushati expressed his criticism of Rama’s crisis speech, arguing that instead of speaking in terms of numbers and stats, all the prime minister could offer was a ‘primary school literary exercise’, that lacked any sort of specifics and concrete details about how we are meant to tackle this incoming challenge.
“What really struck me during the prime minister’s speech, was that it resembled a literary exercise, written by a primary school pupil, who spoke about earthquakes and pandemics instead of providing any actual data. All prime ministers around the world spoke about numbers and how this is expected to affect us, but not Rama” – said Bushati.
According to Bushati, Rama’s homologs made their public appearances and spoke to their citizens about the concrete measures that will be undertaken as well as the actual numbers and ways that the most vulnerable groups will be assisted – something that wasn’t at all the case in Albania.
“Heads of state don’t deal in literature. They get engaged in solving the crisis. I felt a massive sense of pomposity,” – continued Bushati.
In addition, analyst Baton Haxhiu underlined that the “Albanian government must have an explanation for all this”.
Nonetheless, Haxhiu called Rama’s public message a positive step, because the forewarned crisis will be a tough one.
