In the week he said, Haziza said that "I don't want money, I don't want charity and donations, we don't want anything, we just want to work, we are not playthings of the businessmen. We are human beings, behind us are families, there are children. The farmers come to me and cry, all agriculture is over , there is no one to process it. The Director General of the Ministry of Economy called me and said he wanted to hear, and to date no one has been.
This is what happens in the periphery, to make statements that they want to support yes, but they don't."
He claimed the lack of response from the government ministries: "Would the Minister of Economy be kind enough to come and hear the murmurs of the production workers' hearts?
We are not political businessmen, not members of a center or anything, we are production workers and nothing else, I have been trying to get him for three weeks just to get him to talk, but we are production workers - so what, we are only good people on election day when you pass by us and say hello?
But today, let's listen."
