“It was a disproportionate lie that must have been embarrassing, not only to the advertisers who launched and paid for this campaign, but also to those who believed it, because they are bothered to pull out a card that says ‘ INE It is not touched “,” We will not allow it to be destroyed INE“,” We will not allow INEThis was what they did, so it is good that it is not possible – for the time being – to implement constitutional reform, but legal reform.
