“Corruption in the revolutionary ranks after so long is not something to cause a little indignation, no, our people are neither upset nor outraged, our people are very excited, our brothers in the Armed Forces are also angry because the The trust they gave to a leader to take care of the People’s money was stolen, and I am also very horny,” he said.
“Whoever that fails”

He asked the workers and the people to be attentive to any irregular act on the part of the rulers and those who are in positions of responsibility.
“Corruption is like saltpeter; it eats things and no one notices, that’s how corruption is, pernicious, it hides. I reiterate my call to the workers and workers to be aware, the offices of the Assembly are in order, the emails of this program are in order for complaints, we must help our president”, he indicated, while dismissing the threats from the mafias.

Response to Story
