Positions

“For me, a serious debate about concessions, the role of the state and safeguarding the general interest should be addressed. I don't know whether everything can be reduced to the relationship between public and private [...] there are private individuals who are in a position to give back more to the community than the state. The point is how to control this action in the general interest ”.
