"The McGonigal case has put Albanian politics into a new spiral"/ Kikia sheds light on the behind-the-scenes of the scandal: Rama in the most difficult political position

The McGonigal case has been gripping politics lately with accusations and counter-accusations from both sides.

Journalist Mentor Kikia also spoke about this issue in a television interview. According to him, "The McGonigal case has introduced Albanian politics into a new spiral".

Kikia says that "the Albanian opposition is prey to this history".

Mentor Kikia: The McGonigal case has put Albanian politics into a new spiral beyond the permanent conflict that produces Albanian politics. The last two sessions in the Assembly have proven the dose of aggressiveness that the relationship between the majority and the opposition has already received. This kind of climate will deepen even further as the McGonigal case would exploit every opposition in every country. What makes this clash more pronounced is that the Albanian opposition is prey to this story. This gives her more moral right to produce this situation demonstrated in plenary sessions. The aggressiveness will continue to increase as the story will continue to produce material given the fact that in the US the process is still in the investigative phase.

Why does Rama avoid a confrontation in parliament?

Mentor Kikia: It is definitely not a good position for the prime minister, this is the most difficult political position in which Rama has found himself since he took over the leadership of the government. This is due to the fact that the situation is specific. It is not a matter of Rama being in the media or political accusations of corruption, McGonigal is an extremely important man.
