“I was never a good listener, in no position I had. I had my predecessors, on certain functions that were as a psychologist, everyone was coming and complaining, when I was quarreled with their husbands. I could never be in this form and I can not change.
“Many times, this position of president at the PSD comes with an extraordinary patience that Marcel has, to talk to almost every party member and to listen to them in the true sense of the word. These are things I do not have, I do not have much patience, I am rather than to analyze, I do not look. he.
