Four years Ukraine is fighting for the whole Europe.
NATO was built to fight only one war, not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria. One war to save free Europe from Russian aggression.

Diskusija par Stambulas konvenciju izgāja no rāmjiem, secina prezidents
Viņš aicināja politiķus vairāk doties pie cilvēkiem un pamācīties sarunu kultūru, kā arī skubināja to darīt "vienam otram karstākam viedokļu līderim".

Mārtiņš Hiršs: Atriebība par protestu. ZZS grib pakļaut NVO un medijus politiķiem
Tā ir demokrātijas imūnsistēma: ja politiķi sāk slimot ar korupciju, cinismu vai autoritārismu, pilsoniskā sabiedrība ir pirmā, kas paceļ temperatūru un signalizē – "kaut kas nav kārtībā".
