During a press conference at the entrance of the Albanian Assembly, Flamur Noka, a Member of Parliament from the Democratic Party, refused to answer questions posed by Report TV journalist Danjela Maloku. In his response, he intimidated Ms. Maloku by offending the media outlet she represented and his owner. This behavior exemplifies how MPs intimidate journalists and avoid addressing questions of public interest.
