Refer to the passage.

"I was reluctant to accept the candidacy for a long time. I could not imagine myself to be a professional politician. I have displayed, let’s say, an occasional or political behavior throughout my entire life, but never, so called, professionally.

That came as a huge surprise, but when, I did not have too much time to think about it, and the situation culminated in such a way that my election was supposed to be some kind of climax of the revolution. And, if I suddenly declined the position, then I would, I would actually undermine the whole movement. Suddenly, suddenly, it would actually fail at the peak of the movement, suddenly it would not be able to offer any alternative.

So, I accepted it and, of course, I was in no way prepared for such a function. Not as in America where it is taught how to be president since basic school. And, therefore, I was doing many different amateur things, more so because there was no office and no tradition and we had nothing to follow. The previous president governed the state from the central committee of the party."
