"There was once a word that I am proud of and that is part of my childhood: proletariat. Unfortunately, no one uses it anymore. [...] It is the proletariat that has always sustained the nation. There should be more respect. If this social class stops, the nation falls. Today, however, everyone has turned against the tram drivers, but they only noticed them when they stopped working."
