What people are saying
I think he is a very reasonable person and someone with whom we should join forces and move forward together for the victory of the conservative camp.
We have never let go of each other.
I have never betrayed the people, and they mainly say that because I stopped martial law. But martial law had to be stopped, and I think I did what I had to do.
