According to him, we must only control establishments where there are dysfunctions. “In any profession, there are 3 to 5% greedy, stupid and incompetenthe explains. These, obviously, must be controlled and put out of harm’s way.. But controlling an entire profession means that all the imbeciles, the stupid people, have arranged to join this profession. This is not serious.”

“There is no more money”
