These people make the country work, create wealth, make the economy work. There is wealth created, there are profits and there is money, what is needed is for it to be better distributed. The State Budget corresponds to an orientation contrary to what these people here demand.

The national situation is marked by the resignation of the Prime Minister, triggered by judicial investigations involving the current Government. Investigations in which it is necessary to ensure a quick clarification and determination of all responsibilities with all the resulting consequences.
