From childhood to joining the Socialist Party, Ogerta Manastilriu Confesses: I

The SP candidate for the Tirana Municipality elections, Ogerta Manastilriu, talks about her childhood, family and the influences that have shaped her character in the podcast "Flasim". Manastilriu said that she was born and raised in a Tirana family, while also talking about her two parents, her mother, a dancer at the time at the Opera and Ballet Theater, and her father, a military man. Manastilriu talks about her childhood among the corridors of the Opera and Ballet Theater.

Rama: You will be the new mayor of Tirana. Both those who follow us, but also me, have the right to know a little more about your story. I have known the story since the day we met in that small van during the first elections for Tirana. Where were you born?

Manastirliu: It is not easy to talk about yourself, I was born in Tirana, in a simple Tirana family, my two parents, my mother a dancer in the Opera and Ballet ensemble, my father a soldier. In our childhood family, in a house where harmony prevailed with two opposite characters also because of their professions, but in that harmony and symbiosis we grew up healthy and with many people around us, our family was bigger than the small family itself, in our 70 square meter house in the former Partizani cinema. I grew up between my two grandmothers, aunts, uncles, uncles, aunts, a big family that actually taught me how to live and love people, and to have the opportunity to receive a lot of love, which has fulfilled me and I have always had support.

That "Luigj Garakuqi" street has a history, those are the palaces of artists, we lived on our staircase with the great Çesk Zadeja, two palaces away with the great Avni Mula. Inva later, my most artist, dancer of the ensemble. I remember my childhood, I spent a lot of time in the corridors of the Opera and Ballet Theater. I saw how artists got so tired to do a performance, on the other hand".

Tirana Mayoral candidate Ogerta Manastirliu has recounted for the first time how her involvement in politics and joining the Socialist Party began, revealing that it all started with a phone call from a friend.

"A friend called me and told me to participate in a reorganization of the Socialist Party to conduct a questionnaire for the local elections and if you would be part of this group that goes to the city to collect the opinions of citizens. When she told me about the Socialist Party, it didn't seem unfamiliar to me, my grandmother was a 24-carat socialist. I agreed," said Manastirliu.

She remembers that they first met at the Ministry of Culture, where a small van with the inscription “With Edi Rama for Tirana” was waiting for her. At the time, Rama was Minister of Culture and, according to her, had a different profile from other politicians.

"He tells me to meet at the Ministry of Culture. I go there was a small van that wrote with Edi Rama about Tirana. I knew Rama as the Minister of Culture and our age was intrigued that he was not like all the others, with a transformative spirit, a little rebellious. You come there and start a journey. It was a kind of awakening for me to see beyond the center of Tirana. We walked all over Tirana with you and for the first time I saw what was happening in the outskirts of Tirana, dark and gloomy. There was also hope that Tirana could be done. Tirana began to gain color", said Ogerta Manastirliu
