"The negotiation was very horizontal, and made an optimistic and naïve estimation to expect that things will evolve in one way. But things do not always turn out the way you like them to. The successive measures were leading to more depression because they were reducing liquidity."
We remind you that according to this loan facility agreement which the Minister did not have the time (!) to read the borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all immunity to which it is or may become entitled, in respect of itself or its assets, from legal proceedings in relation to this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit, judgement or other order, from attachment, arrest or injunction prior to judgement, and from execution and enforcement against its assets to the extent not prohibited by mandatory law.
