transcription:
A few .. Employees of the previous administration, but very few, and everything just Italians who could not do German. Meanwhile we are all bilingualism. I have made the university in Italian and all. Yes, well, he says, "I need you desperately, as secretary." I thought, that's fine with me because this is a pleasant person - I knew him. At meetings to be there and everywhere to be there. Did he say: "But I have for you just an empty room." He has effectively .. which were already before the first days of autonomy. He has had a very nice room, hall, which was for the Secretary, as for me .. was, believe it or not, completely empty. There was only one table .. completely empty is false. There was only one table inside, a table and a chair and a typewriter, nothing else. No book, not reading books such as laws and so on. Nothing. Has he said, smiling, he said: "Now we just have to start with the autonomy." Then he went with me to the Economist, there was an economist. Afterwards he said: "This is the new secretary of mine, and if he needs a money to buy something, books or furniture or something, then give it to him only. Since you have the authorization from me." And so I started.
