“The deepest crisis is not only in the political or economic system, but the moral crisis. That’s why I keep talking about a spiritual and moral crisis,” David said in an interview with “Storycon” on One News.

“There’s something wrong with the way we perceive things. The crisis is in the heart of the person. When a person seems already indifferent, cynical, when people begin to lose their concern for others - this is where things like corruption and impunity begin, which we see as the root cause of the crisis that we are facing, both on the global level and the national level,” he added.
