The Prime Minister reiterated accusations of Iranian involvement in the protests against the project in Sazan and Zvërnec, arguing that Tirana is facing an organized campaign aimed at destabilizing the country.
Prime Minister Edi Rama has insisted that behind the protests that have been taking place for days against the project in Sazan and Zvërnec, other interests are hidden, once again mentioning Iran as one of the actors that, according to him, are trying to exploit the civic revolt.
During the speech given at the 35th anniversary of the Socialist Party, Rama stated that hostile countries use the real dissatisfaction of citizens to incite destabilization and harm Albania's interests.
" Their weapon is the exploitation of bio-protests, of boredom, of discomfort, of bio-alarms. And then they know what they are doing. You have to be an idiot to deny the involvement of an enemy country, the only enemy country, not because we have declared it, but because it has attempted to destroy Albania's digital infrastructure, which is the Islamic Republic of Iran ," Rama declared.
The Prime Minister also brought as an argument the statements of Iranian officials against him, saying that this shows Tehran's interest in political developments in Albania.
" You have to be an idiot to say that Iran has no business when the Iranian government's own spokesman says 'Rama go away'. It's not like the threads are cut. The problem is how someone else uses your sincerity to make a mess of your country ," he said.
Rama argued that the protests are not only being exploited by political actors, but also by economic interests that, according to him, feel threatened by the growth of Albanian tourism.
" How can we explain that the entire world related to tourism has been thrown into turmoil? Because we have entered the territory of fierce competition with those who have dominated this market for years ," said the prime minister.
This is not the first time Rama has linked the protests to foreign influences. In recent days, he has also spoken of attempts at manipulation and organized campaigns that, according to him, aim to distort the public debate about the project in Sazan and Zvërnec.
However, his statements have sparked strong reactions from protesters and political opponents, who have denied any connection to foreign interests and insist that the protest is a civic movement against the government's project.
Despite the criticism, Rama seems determined to maintain the same line, arguing that various political, economic, and geopolitical actors are trying to benefit from the civic revolt.
