Savedone of the few times he talked about the topic.
In that speech, he insisted that “Politics becomes alien to people” And to analyze it with a football metaphor: “It’s not just political parties; they look like a football team“, indicating that due to “cracking” people “They fight for them Stop focusing on what he can gain from the other person.
