It is a difficult time for him and emotionally there are many thoughts that go through his mind. When things are like this, it is not the time to make decisions. I understand how you feel emotionally. You probably feel the need and responsibility to be closer to your family. But now is not the time to make decisions and it is certainly a decision that must be made by several parties. Now nothing is going to change. It is just an interview with some comments. We will see what happens ”, declared the Basque.
