Svetlana Bertov: Difference between revisions

Svetlana has also acted as an impassioned speaker throughout her time in the Students' Union, with her most notable speech being made at the 2019 Memorial Service for Durakans who died in the [[Meremaa Civil War]]. She made a heartfelt speech on how the deaths of Durakan Volunteers has been overly politicized by the [[Social Democratic Party]], stating that "These men and women died fighting for a cause they believed in, a cause in which Durakia has always stood for. Those who refuse to pay respects to them spit in the face of the very fabric our nation is built on." This speech, of course, was controversial amongst the moderate left, however it saw Svetlana come into her own as a young activist, rather than staying in the shadow of her grandfather.
