I would like to thank the Speaker for taking into account my work in his absence. In my defence I will say that the phrase has a different meaning that the one many Councillors thought it had, and they can search for the meaning in any webpage on the Internet. Still, I have to recognise that other words could have been used, and thus I apologise to this chamber and Premier Cikarová for this unfortunate words. I hope Councillors take the right decision about this, we all know what the Council has been going through during the past weeks and even if I trust on the Speaker of the Council to take over all my job again, I think my suspension could damage the Council's activity.
