Sometimes democracy must be bathed in blood.
My face is sour. Maybe that's why they say I'm a dictator.
My moral and spiritual formation does not allow me to be a dictator... If I were a dictator, You can be sure that many things have happened.
I'm not someone who usually sends out threats. I warn only once. The day they touch one of my men, the rule of law is over.
We have no political prisons. We have political internal exiles.
During 65 years, I have walked the path of duty and discipline... And today, looking back at that long path of service, my soldier's heart stirs and murmurs from deep within: Thank you. Thank you, my homeland.
