“I have been threatened”, Bledi Mane after the clash with the protesters: I was attacked, Qorri and Shehaj are responsible

Journalist Bledi Mane recounted on “Shqipëria Live” the incident that occurred during a protest, where he claims he was first hit with an egg and then with a stone or a hard object.

Mane said that at first he had not realised he was near a protest. According to him, while he was talking on the phone in a quiet street, he felt a blow to the head and then realised that an egg had been thrown over him.

Afterwards, according to Mane, the situation escalated. He claims he was hit with a stone or a hard object, and was wounded in the head. When he turned around, he said he saw two people who were shouting, and then a crowd of protesters.

“I was in the street talking on the phone, the street was quiet, at one moment I feel a blow to the head, it was not strong. I felt something sliding from my head, and I realised it was an egg. For the moment I understood I was in the middle of a protest, and then a blow with a stone or something hard, I was bloodied. I turn my head and there were two lads who were screaming and shouting. Then I don’t know where the crowd of protesters came from, it seemed very organised to me, with phones ready. There were, I believe, 30 people, there was a considerable number of minors, they were shouting and insulting. I kept my composure.

I am against that protest, for my own reasons. They have the same right to protest. It is a serious criminal offence. As a journalist I have often gone to court against various figures, in fact I now have my next hearing with Adriatik Lapaj and his father-in-law. Anyone who has objections to articles is free to go to the nearest court.

It seemed a very good orchestration to me. I asked, and behind it hide Arlind Qorri and the Vlora MP, Agron Shehaj, they finance it. I continue to be critical, I have called Arlind a political paedophile, who holds his own students hostage, organises them in his party’s organisations. I continue to hold the same position despite the egg, the threats or yesterday’s insults,” he said.
