I share just the ideas of this party, they are close to my principles, and it was important that the ways of their development and the ways of their solution coincided with my ideas and approaches.

I do not want to talk about equality between women and men, it is important for a woman to have a high self-esteem, and this is first of all conditioned by her education and development. If a woman is educated and has the appropriate abilities, she can protect her.
