At the next Podtore meeting with the young people of the Democratic Youth Forum with the leader of the DP, Sali Berisha, Glauk Olldashi, the son of the late former democratic minister, Sokol Olldashi, was also present.
In his speech, he gave some suggestions and criticized the Pulpits that are held both in cities and on the boulevard in front of the Prime Minister's Office, offering some thoughts and ideas.
Olldashi criticized some people who were selected to speak on protest podiums and who often either have their mouths shut, or do not know how to speak, or make fun of and embarrass the DP and the youth, often having to bow their heads.
Glauku also emphasized that the problems of the DP should not be discussed live with cameras and microphones, but behind closed doors and concrete problems should be addressed. He proposed that the Forums be held on certain issues and specifics.
"Doctor, I think that our party is not as good as we are here in the hall. It would be very good for us to have another meeting without cameras, between us and you, with the forum. Because I have the principle that domestic problems are discussed between us and not in the eyes of the world. Here is my suggestion. Every Monday we hold the Podtore in front of the Prime Minister's Office, and for the sake of truth, the participation is not unsatisfactory. It has nothing to do with fear and security, but it seems that the problem lies with Monday. Therefore, the Monday Podtore has no participation. I also think that those who speak in that Podtore are not the right ones, they are not worthy, I do not know who chooses them, but there is no access and there is no involvement of young people," he said, among other things.
According to Olldashi, the approach being followed must change, as it damages the image of the DP more than that of the mayor:
"There are people out there who are even silenced when they speak, they are not worthy. Those people who come out and speak out are also blaming us, especially us young people who have our careers and lives ahead of us, and the public image hurts us more than you."
And further he gave an opinion on the organization of the Podiums, where he presented ideas for protests with specific topics.
"My idea is that every Monday we hold specific rostrums, an education Monday, a day for health, agriculture, oil workers, miners and so on. The problems are endless, let's have specific rostrums every Monday, gather experts, let them speak, and not see some faces that make us laugh and we make them laugh and lower our heads. So let's hold a protest where we don't say Ramaduro or Rama is the problem, but let's say this is the problem and address Albanian problems. That's all."
Leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, while understanding Olldashi's concerns, also gave a response explaining the purpose of the Foltore.
"The rostrum does not aim for a large presence. Its purpose is the microphone and the voice, against the government, from deputies and citizens. Its purpose is not protest or mass. It has the purpose of citizens, young people and people of different backgrounds speaking," he said.
