Very good. I liked it personally. He very well drew the line of being leader vs. being indulgent that I mentioned to you yesterday. Right on the button. Kind but firm, leading and guiding. Of course, there’ll be ones that don’t understand, that divert, but they’ll seem marginal in my opinion.

What do you say? I had a look at it again. Very, very good. Guiding and a full leader - a wise man’s talk. Hopefully, this issue will end from now on. The country has lost enough time.
