Iran Hits Back at Albanian PM over Anti-Tehran Accusassion
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baqaei denied anti-Tehran allegations leveled by Albanian Prime Minister, calling on Edi Rama to listen to domestic public anger as thousands of demonstrators have protested in the capital Tirana against a coastal tourism complex planned by a company linked to Jared Kushner, son-in-law of the United States President Donald Trump.
Writing in X on Tuesday, Baqaei responded to comments by the Albanian prime minister against Iran, dismissing the claims and criticizing Rama for deflecting internal criticism onto external actors amid growing demonstrations in the Albanian capital.“Calm down, Mr. prime minister Edi Rama. It was YOU, sir, who started this. So...you should 'face the music'!” Baqaei said.
His comments came after the Albanian prime minister, through a post on the X platform, claimed that Iran is showing hostility towards freedom.The remarks come as Albania has witnessed an ongoing wave of protests for consecutive days, with thousands of citizens gathering in Central Tirana, demanding the resignation of Rama.
“It would be wiser to show some respect for the intelligence and judgment of your own people, as a nation of rich culture and proud history. They are perceptive enough to distinguish truth from falsehood. If you choose to sell your national sovereignty, that is your decision. You do not owe us an explanation. But when confronted by the outrage and criticism of your own public, please do not use others as a convenient scapegoat to evade accountability. Instead of writing a lengthy pamphlet filled with hackneyed baseless accusations against Iran, take a moment to listen to your own people who are chanting in the streets: ‘Jo korrupsionit!’ (No to corruption!), ‘Duam drejtësi!’ (We want justice!), ‘Rama ik!’ (Leave Rama!),” the Iranian spokesperson added.
