00:39 Unfortunately, people are still

00:41 unable to hear their voices

00:43 except for the armed forces

00:45 that were present in the square.

00:47 Another important thing

00:49 that is very important

00:51 in this matter

00:53 is that people are being asked

00:55 without a single word

00:57 by the NUA,

00:59 who unfortunately

01:01 changed the person

01:03 who was accused of

01:05 harming the city

01:07 and replaced him with a member of the same group.
