I have worked in legal advising as an entrepreneur for 24 years. My long-term experience shows that there is a lot of injustice in the current law and in the work of the judicial system the prosecutor’s office, and therefore ordinary citizens get caught in the wheels of law with their concerns. I dare say that the state has distanced itself from the people with its governance style, and the people are remembered only when elections are approaching. I hope I can change the situation so that the state would be for the people, and not the other way round. I highly value the idea “No foreign power can replace sovereignty”.
