“No one wants an annexation … and the one who is an annexationist repudiates his homeland. But whoever believes that a political party and its interests are greater than the homeland, does not value it either, so it does not deserve it. What it has tried whimsically tying an ideology and putting it at the service of it does not know what homeland means. Isn’t that also a way to annex? “, he declared.
