8:05 pm
the trial focused on remarks that m m. m. all you had made during the, the mayoral race back in 2019. now if the appeals court upholds the verdict, it would prevent him from holding public office for the duration of the 2 year, 7 month sentence. and my mother is also seen as a potential challenge him to present recipe button in elections next year. a cynical theater has moved from that rally and a stumble. thousands of people gathered in front of his novel metropolitan municipality to show support for stumbled mayor at gram mom older. and it is a protest against the court decision, the which once the jail is stumbled mayor and impose a political bend. now what is next for a crown. mo, mo law is a matter of concern. and now a way for a court of appeals is open for him. at the next step is there, even the court of appeals up holds the verdict, the current that verdict then another way is open for him until the is supreme court decides in, in the opposite way until the final decision by the supreme court or criminal mo

8:07 pm
some repercussions in the upcoming election. so my own opinion is that the government has not been directly involved in such kind of a case because the final outcome will be very much is not in the interests. it's for sure because what happened in the past, present the out on was mayor of his stumble. he was put into prison just for the fact that he. busy planned for example, so this particular event had boosted his credentials to become. busy president prime minister and president of the country. so at the same time, how do you all might, it might, it was in the context of a mayor of the stumble, a criminal. so it would have been quite impossible to think that the government took a very important action in pushing the court members to take such kind of decision . but we all know that it is inevitable that this particular event will have some credit card consequences. now moving on and tens of thousands of nurses in the u. k
