In the long run, it is both economically attractive, very attractive in terms of urban comfort and quality of life, and cleaner. After all, we also worry about carbon emissions.

Actually, it starts in the second grade of secondary school, my questioning of life, of my hometown. I never gave up on it. For me, politics is the art of transforming life. Politics is a really big and valuable business. Don't look at it getting this ugly. This is not politics; to make people smile, to improve, to beautify life. Something about that is politics. None of this is fate. We can build a completely different life in these lands. We are in a paradise land," he said.
