| 0:00.0 | The guy himself who became the prime minister used the words hope and change. |
| 0:05.8 | These are very familiar to the American years as well. |
| 0:09.1 | And they were saying that everything can be much better without giving up anything, actually. |
| 0:15.4 | And, you know, they are still in a honeymoon period phrase, just 50, 60 days after the election. |
| 0:23.5 | But the true is coming up, like they had to giving up many issues against Brussels in the field of migration, gender ideology. |
| 0:37.4 | So we had to accept the migration pact. |
