Political forces do not have a proper understanding of the time

Godo met yesterday with intellectuals and citizens from Vlora Yesterday morning the chairman of the PSSH, Sabri Godo, held a meeting with intellectuals and citizens from Vlora. He explained the situation in a round-table discussion with citizens from all four sides of the square. In this meeting Mr. Godo spoke about political and government problems, expressing the view that our country should have different policies, not just one. According to him, the majority as well as the opposition forces will contribute to solving the problems related to the future. These, according to Godo, will be achieved by putting the energy of youth and society to work. Godo focused on economic problems, saying that the economy is on the rise and that privatization should be completed. After this meeting, Mr. Godo also had contact with many people and intellectuals who, according to him, should not be involved in political disputes. The PR here, according to him, will seek a solution to the problems that are current and unresolved. He opposed a gathering of parties, saying that an assessment is necessary, and that every party needs to deepen its own policy. He spoke in favor of having as many opinions as possible and not just one single mind. According to him, as a call for dialogue from Godo, the country must find a common path, and from this both the opposition and the majority must assume responsibility so that a climate of understanding and security can be developed for their normalization, in support of the economy. In this meeting he stressed that they would conclude with this issue. As for the normalization of their relations, on the basis of reciprocity, according to his statements in an inter-state group, he expressed that the PR will always seek to have room to open new windows in different areas of the country's political life, while implementing the constitution and giving due weight to each person's opinion. In the meeting, which lasted more than two hours, Niko Mëhilli and the PR chairman, Mr. Fjorenë N. Xhelli, were also present. "At the meeting held with intellectuals and citizens from Vlora"
