Quotes We are with the democratic model, we are with freedom, equality and with a state of economic and social rights. Today, I am also ready to pay any price to pave the way for future generations, like others pave the way for us. Today, we are all politicians; we have no crime, yet we find ourselves walking to the courts facing heavy charges, with harsh sentences awaiting us. Despite this, we remain steadfast and came on our own feet to enter the trial. People are afraid when they hear those close to power calling us traitors or terrorists, when our purpose is to change things peacefully.
