I have been free for more than a month. Some people may think that that is long enough. Others may think that that is not quite long enough.

Sanctions and boycotts would be tied to serious political dialogue.

When we think of the state of the economy, we are not thinking in terms of money flow. We are thinking in terms of the effect on everyday lives of people.
