The member of parliament's statement caused a flurry of negativity in social networks, and already on March 31 she wrote an explanation: "Actually, it is about rest for the May holidays, and not about the fact that I am going to leave the country altogether. I am a living person and I have the right to rest, like everyone else. I love my country and I'm not going to leave for another!".
