00:17So, give them what is fair to them.
00:20Ministers.
00:21Even the ministers are cut by 20%.

01:17Yet, she is still being criticized.
01:20That is why I can say, keep fighting.
01:26Alright.
01:28I want to make it clear.
01:30Why do I dare to speak in front of businessmen?
01:34Because I am serious.
