An unexpected event occurred on the 5th of October, during the plenary session as Democratic Party MP, Flamur Noka struck the cameraman Parid Dado representing Vizion Plus media channel, with the Assembly’s regulation book.
Noka claimed that the operator was recording the MPs’ phones, specifically focusing on the phone of PD leader Sali Berisha, who was watching a denunciation video on “WhatsApp”. However, the Speaker of the Assembly, Lindita Nikolla, quickly intervened, cautioning Noka to treat the free media with respect.
