00:00And now for the same comparative period as for last year, we are still trending lower.
00:08So even though it is marginally lower, what I want everyone to consider is that the last time Triangileo has

00:22Talk for that.
00:53When we climbed to 626 in 2024, the police were blamed as if we were outside killing people.
