We have the opportunity which no one could even dream of 20 years ago – to no longer be dependent on media interest, journalists, editorial policy of TV but to be in constant contact with electors. To speak about every issues of their interest. We have the opportunity to be in direct contact with society, speak with them, discuss and not be unilateral politicians from TV”.
