Goodbye democracy. This 20th Amendment to the constitution is criminal and inhuman. This sweeps away all democratic principles. This Amendment puts absolute power in the hands of a merciless Mafia boss and mass murderer. Hopefully now the people who voted for these criminals will wake up and realize the mistake they made. But anyway it is too late now. This country is now becoming a second North Korea. Now only the biological solution can help and free us from the Mafia brothers.

Doesn't seem to be a good omen to the country.
