She will not hold back despite the most desolate comments on the net, she emphasized:”The tyrants only want that, they want to get you ready, but I am not finished, I hold fast to my values, I will not give in”.
Sometimes she can only laugh and think in the face of the evil insults “that is completely ridiculous”.
