What we want, in the end, is to ensure that, in fact, there is prosperity.”
He said Super Action SP “is, yes, very important to us”, but denied that the proposal has an electoral character. “I’m not looking at this, it doesn’t go through my mind when you make a program like this. What goes through the head is: let’s make a difference, let’s solve people’s lives.”
