The Leader of the Alternative Afrim Gashi, except that he proved to be a great negotiator, after the new government agreed to win three ministerial posts, three deputies, vice-president in the Parliament and over 40 managerial and deputy positions in state and public institutions, during the official accession to the government, mentioned her music career which she left with "empty pockets".

Namely, his band, which he founded as a high school student, was called "Empty Pockets" and Gashi accepted that credo in politics, ie he explained that he and his party members are not here to fill their pockets but to protect the general interest and the citizens. .

- When I was young I was the founder of a music group called "Empty Pockets" and at that time in an interview with a journalist what do you expect from a musical aspect, I said I do not know what, I just know that the name of the group will not change. So neither I nor the higher exponents of my party are in politics to fill our pockets and we completely dare and distance ourselves from such a vocabulary. It is very harmful to consider and perceive political exponents as individuals who enter politics to fill their pockets and as long as this is thought in public and in certain cases and aspects it is right because few politicians give reason and reason to think this way. "I think things will still go wrong," said Alternative Gashi.

In 1995, his band performed a rap composition at the popular Albanian music festival "Nota Fest". It was Gashi who shared the video of this performance on YouTube a long time ago. Singing about love and sorrow over the unrequited love of the girl from the song of the same name, Gashi tells his beloved through the verses that he may die for her.

Leaving his music career long, Gashi has vowed on the political scene that as a responsible politician he will remain consistent with the broader interest, not just the narrow-minded one, after rising from the opposition to form a parliamentary majority and joining a government whose majority has made it stable and functional. , probably until the next regular elections, as expected by the outgoing Prime Minister Zoran Zaev.

- I tell you with the greatest responsibility, as president of Alternative, that whenever we have formed a coalition, when we have participated in the elections ourselves, we have realized all our political journey with our focus on the wider interest, not only the party. In this case, too, we are aware that it would be much more comfortable for Alternative to remain in opposition and of course that would avoid any criticism or accusation, but Afrim Gashi is not an ordinary individual in this country, he has political responsibility for all citizens and the region. . We should be guided by the interests of only the political parties, we should be people who should consider it and take into account the interests of the state and if we act in this way we will go in the right direction. If we are constantly calculating for the next elections, I am aware that this process we have entered is dangerous for us, but I am convinced that this is for the good of the citizens and if Alternative does not get a single MP in the next elections, and the state gets a date for negotiations would be very joyful, Gashi said.

If this happens, he has promised to leave politics with his head held high because he has served his country and its citizens well.

- In the negotiations, neither I nor Alternative have a blackmailing approach, to look for new positions. The new majority will be the ship on which we will travel. We did not want to shake it or create an earthquake or an earthquake in the building where we will live. So this is the best possible solution that will stabilize the majority and produce good results for all citizens. In no case will you hear blackmailing tones from Alternative during the talks when it comes to important interests of all citizens, Gashi assures.
