• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I am not giving him the Floor. I am just saying that I allow the information because I have to allow it. You also cannot give him a chance if I do not allow. He has shouted. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: What I am saying is simple. In my view, let us support this Report as it is. Let her be appointed, but on condition that she is going to renounce her American citizenship. Thank you very much. view
