What I clearly notice in his speech back then, and still now, is this distorted understanding of pluralism. I don't blame him for that. He has already enough baggage of the past to be accused of being anti-democrat for no reason and no fault of his own, without addressing this issue face to face. But at some point, we, and specially he, should recognize that THERE IS NO POLITICAL PARTIES REPRESENTING PLURALISM. They are even pluralist themselves, as a second thought, completely in opposition to what their foundation was. What is the real pluralism, is the pluralism of individuals, the citizens, not recognizing themselves in any of this political formations. He has to create a 'front' from the people. That's why I call it an 'organization' not a 'front' because it is not depending to existing political formations. It is not a collection of various names for various groups, representing nobody but their own members. People may choose to join a political group for a specific preference... or may not. This is not related to values, goals and agenda that a unifying platform must put forward, in order to achieve the necessary freedom for true pluralism.
