"content": "in this country which cannot be dealt with simply by rushing a matter. I think by the time we come back, and having heard what the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance will say, this Parliament should be prepared to tackle this problem once and for all. But we cannot just say that we are going to solve this problem in the next two or three days. On the issue of banks, I think banks in this country are run by sadists. Banks are run by people who cherish when people are in problems. Do you know when sign a loan, beside the interest rate, you give a security, and you are forced to sign something called a personal guarantee. Therefore, if the interest remain as high as they are, people of this country will be denied, not just lose of their securities, but they will lose their lives through something called personal guarantees. Therefore, this is a matter to be addressed not just by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. It is a matter that is very central to the Government. When fuel prices go down internationally, we have cartels that blackmail this country and even cause shortages that are not real, so that the Government can react and go back to their prices. Therefore, I think we need time to go and engage our constituents."
