What if his interview had gone like this?:

“We cannot insist only on issues related to poverty and economic justice This is not possible. I have not spoken much about these things, and I was reprimanded for that. But when we speak about these issues, we have to talk about it in a context.

Did you know that? Why didn’t you know that?
