“Let me be very open. I have great respect for Hugo Patt. From the time I knew Hugo Patt in the first term—he is a second term winner—he is a humble one, but particular he is extremely honest. He is colleague friendly, he knows how to deal with employees so when I see Hugo; it’s a reflection of myself and he has great potential in the party and as a politician. So I was extremely happy when the prime minister, who has absolute power to appoint any minister or give it to any. So I see nothing, I hold no grudge for that. And let me be very honest, I would not have accepted that ministry; that is headache.”
