The Republic is open and tolerant but also knows how and when to be firm and make its values respected.

What a country needs to do is be fair to all its citizens - whether people are of a different ethnicity or gender.

We should be tolerant, fair, open, and we should understand the rights that all people have in our society.

Today, we stand as a united country and are much closer to the ideals set forth in our Constitution that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

A formally recognized equality does, however, accord the smaller nations a position which they should be able to use increasingly in the interest of humanity as a whole and in the service of the ideal.

Our country, like every modern state, needs profound democratic reforms. It needs political and ideological pluralism, a mixed economy and protection of human rights and the opening up of society.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a strong advocate for diversity across all dimensions.

We are all human beings and I believe that we all should have equal rights.

Our party believes in diversity, not uniformity.
