“(I hope, aut. P.) The result, good,” said the deputy. But to name what it should be, she didn’t want to, she just said “we’ll see.”

I think you always have to think less about work than about people. You don’t need to have enemies in politics at all. They can have opponents, sometimes they are very fierce and tough. (…) But if you start looking for enemies yourself, then there is nothing left to talk about. That is what I will remain restricted on this issue, “I. Šimonytė told reporters.
