What do they offer? I do not know. I only see that they want to take us ... where? So we have to stay here. I want to stay here, I don't want to go somewhere else. I want to communicate, reach some standards, but I don't want to go away! I want to stay in this country, to be a particle in its formation. I want it and I will do it as an actor and therefore I try to present it through this role of the president."
