- 3:54i'm still on the establishment but i
- 3:58think that we have to understand
- 4:00what is establishment in our days

- 4:06question
- 4:08is from whom interests you are fighting
- 4:13who want to protect if we want to
- 4:16protect the labor people
- 4:18the vulnerable people then you have to
- 4:21fight
- 4:22but at the same time you have to try to
- 4:24find
- 4:25alternative paths in order to protect
- 4:28their
- 4:29interests the invisible enemy
- 4:33that is covered 19 has brought about
- 4:37an unfamiliar global landscape and
- 4:40unleashed
- 4:41a crisis without president

- 5:37and tempered by the carnage of world war
- 5:40ii

- 5:43institutions
