“somehow They want us to be quiet and submissive“If you don’t allow me to speak in Parliament, I can’t speak anything here either, so why am I here? Taking a picture as if I came to the examination control table,” Claverol pointed out to the media.
In addition to all this, Amama announced on Tuesday that he had already presented some of them 25 real estate claims Represents those affected by the examination crisis.
