Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has chided his “old friend” and former colleague, Alexis Tsipras, over a statement released by his new party, Greek Left Coalition (ELAS) regarding the injury inflicted on a Greek citizen during a protest and linking Albania’s “respect for the rule of law” and the “self-determination rights” of its Greek minority with its quest to join the European Union.
Rama has decried the violence perpetrated on protesters against a resort project in which US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is said to be involved.
In a lengthy post on X Monday, Rama says Tsipras displays “reflexes of the past” in seeking to “rally followers around the flag through hasty conclusions about neighbors and their sovereign institutions.”
Rama’s full post follows:
