However, the new government is its awaiting the test and everything remains to be seen " , said the journalist Sokol Balla.
He showed that what values the most in the political debate is thepoint and not the character " In this format I try to realize my show, because political debates have public value and are not property of private televisions. The public needs to understand the why of the current problems . " To the question of students whether he will continue to be critical of the government , Mr.Sokol Balla replied : " Yes , I will continue to be critical of the government and no ' opposition ' as this term is usually used. If the government has the correct relationship with the media implying criticism - reaction , there should notexist vindictive media. When media is not just t media then there exist problems".
