It is anational discrase that Hirschon has been allowed to continue in his role as finance minister after such serious allegations of embezzlement, he has destroyed the publics trust and must resign immediatly. Lets hope the trial will follow shortly.
Does this mean that he will resign or are we doomed to bear his presence until after the trial?
