Prime Minister Edi Rama presented 13 of his drawings at the premises of the Embassy of Italy in Berlin, as part of an event linked to his personal exhibition “Chrysalizing”, currently being held at Société Gallery.
The exhibition also includes sculptures created by Rama, who has long been known for his artistic activity alongside politics.
During the event, the Italian ambassador to Berlin, Fabrizio Bucci, conducted an interview with the Prime Minister in an informal format that blended art, personal memories, and politics.
In an interview with ANSA, Rama also recalled his past as an athlete and artist, saying ironically: “I am the best artist among prime ministers in the world and the best prime minister among artists.”
Addressing political topics, Rama spoke about the European Union, describing it as a necessary process for building institutions in aspiring countries.
“The European Union is a blessing for us. Its process is complex, perhaps the most neurotic, but it works,” he said.
He added that after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU has changed its approach: “Before the war, there was clear rhetoric, but actions were missing. After it, it was understood that countries outside the union can be lost.”
However, Rama criticized the slow pace of the European process, emphasizing that more speed and fewer bureaucratic obstacles are needed.
