I had many moments when I presented the problems to him. and my vision, even in our meetings of the Government and the party, I always put it with all the serenity and humility that have always characterized him, sometimes he did not speak, but we guessed that, in his humility and serenity, he tried to transform the words that people gave him strategies for the future,” he said.
