-Memorandum; Ask others about these. Others were the prime ministers of the memoranda. I have an absolute sense of the difficulties of society, but also an obligation to put an end to the adventure. To return in 2023 to an investment level. We will finish the IMF loans within the year…

Taxation:

-Our concern is to be close to the weakest. We have proved that we know and can. I do not want to cultivate an image of easy benefits. These belong to another era. There are no money trees. There is the tree of growth.
