“I don’t want to say more, it’s a very distressing affair for me,” he said emotionally charged, and continued: “For a long time I fought with my conscience, because you understand it is not an easy task. But I’m sure I did the right thing, I had to do it to my family, in my course. It is very distressed to me, I tell you the truth, but it was necessary. “

We all have both social and personal relationships between us despite our differences, the approaches, the criticism we exist and we must exist, alas if it were different. Our personal relationships are not disturbed by this. It is another class of another class what I was. “
