Fortunately, I can walk peacefully through the streets among both those who know me and those who don’t.”
In her statements, the candidate also took the opportunity to send a political message, asserting that “hatred, criticism of others, and exacerbating fear are not the way to govern the country.” Concerning the current electoral process, she emphasized that today’s voting “largely determines how our lives will be over the next four years.”
