Alfred Lela has left the 'Top Story' studio after a clash with moderator and author Grida Duma.
The debate began after Lela made a comment to moderator Duma. After that, the DP's communications director was asked by Grida Duma herself to leave the studio.
Excerpts from the debate:
Alfred Lela: The discussion about IPARD is very relevant for thousands of Albanian farmers.
Grid Duma: It's completely unrelated.
Alfred Lela: No, the opposition has to speak whatever Top Channel wants.
Grid Duma: Top Channel, Lela, wants you here to tell the truth, because this is how the audience grows.
Alfred Lela: Why, what was untrue? The ball is yours, take the penalty yourself.
Grid Duma: You can't shoot a penalty on my field, no matter how much you try. I'll show every 'Topi' right now. Topi wants these Tirana MPs, who you're making fun of, to go to those palaces over there.
Alfred Lela: Don't point the finger at me, because I'm not your spokesperson, nor your employee. Stick that finger wherever you want. Don't point the finger at me.
Grid Duma: I recommend it to anyone who comes to my studio for fun.
Alfred Lela: Don't point the finger at me.
Grid Duma: I'll point the finger at you 100 times and kick you out as many times as I want for lack of ethics. Go away, Lela, what are you doing with that. And then stick your finger in. Come on, go away.
