2019, almost gone. There are still 6 days left of this year, days that are usually spent doing "balances". The events that shocked us, the beautiful events or the long-awaited changes. Today we will stop at the scandals. We call them that, given their size and the reactions they received from people.
1. Arrest of Loredana (May 8)
All of a sudden, Loredana fans (and not only) were shocked to learn that the rapper was accused of robbery and theft of a Swiss couple worth nearly 1m francs. Loredana broke the silence by saying publicly that none of the allegations stand and that the money had been taken in full volition. Shortly thereafter, he declared separation from Mozzik.
2. Sample father who abused his daughter for 3 years. (July 10)
In July 2019, Albanians were shocked to learn of the incident reported on Fix It. For three years, the 18-year-old was regularly abused by her father, who (as the video shows) tells his daughter, "Better to go with me than up and down."
What made this phenomenon even more outrageous and problematic was the reaction of the girl's mother, who even after seeing the footage demanded that the case be closed there, as she said "what happened, did"!
3. Dad kills daughter because he went out with friends (July 25)
The heavy event happened in Australia, but shocked Albanians months ago. The 20-year-old girl was found stabbed inside her car. Next to the girl was her father, with blood marks on her body.
4. Attack of the owner of the bar on Spanish tourists (17 August)
In August this year, public opinion was shocked to see the video of Mihal Kokedhima (a Porto Palermo shopkeeper) cruelly striking the glass of a crowded van. All this because the latter did not like the food and service of his restaurant. The headlamp thrown in front of the car, throws endless windshields until it breaks. The video went viral and shortly thereafter, former clients of the site shared experiences similar to those of foreign tourists.
5. University scandal (September 19)
The scandal of taking exams through sexual favors aroused great debate among Albanians for a long time. People were divided into two parties: those who blamed the professor who favors the student for passing scores and the other party who thinks "the student provoked him more than he needed"!
6. "Bird of Tirana" charged with prostitution (November 24)
Known as the "Bird of Tirana", Hermes Nikaj shook public opinion when he was accused of exploiting girls for prostitution. It was said that Nikaj played the role of manager and used some aesthetic centers where, among other things, girls were used for sexual favors.
7. Voting at the "Song Festival" (December 22)
For several days everyone was dealing with the media scandal that happened due to the jury voting at the "Song Festival". Although Arilena Ara was declared the winner, the foreign jury voted in full on Elvana Gjata's song (which broke the record as one of the most clicked videos for 6 days after its release). The vote was so controversial and controversial that Alketa Vejsiu herself made her public statement. Elvana Gjata also. After them, there was no reaction from one of the jury members, Rita Petros.
