General information
I am a former journalist, author of four books. I view myself as a conservative and have a deep respect for religious beliefs. I believe we were not just making empty words when we promised a dignified old age for the members of our society, and I also believe that in a tense situation, such as we can see on the global political arena today, what we need is a feminine approach (with a social orientation) to resolving conflicts.
