Sunday 11th November 2012 at 8 pm

Dear Mr. President,
we do not ask who you are; we are happy that you are, what you are. The President! You’re ours and we’re yours. Without hesitation. Without a doubt. On the live and dead.

No, dear President, we are not naive! Behind us is the great school of life. History is our mother of wisdom. We know that happiness cannot be ensured either by state or political system or party. A man could reach happiness only by himself. We know, we understand, we work, we create. We have the initiative, we have ideas, we have the momentum, we have the will. We distinguish right from wrong. We reward courage. We encourage creativity. We respect tradition. We cherish self-confidence. We express our opinions. We strengthen patriotism. We think with our own heads. And this is just the beginning, dear President.

Now we are a strong and brave, now we do not hesitate, dear President. Now we are ready to jump. Jump from from yesterday straight into tomorrow. Leap from the past into the future. No, dear President, we do not ask what country can do for us. Now we ask what we can do for the country. We do not ask whom to ask. We are the answer! Each has its own fortune! We have wisdom. We have experience. We have heart, we have stubbornness, we have the energy. We have everything we need, we have you. You connect us, you unite us, because of you we are together.

Dear President, we are and remain your happy collective, your team, your Via Negativa. And this is just the beginning.
