For this conference, we significantly deplete the capacity of our donors. If
this is a hack, this is a hack to harm the countries outside Europe that had
no ability to send a delegate.

We could have used that money in our development but we would rather go to
Europe to see this farce.

Has some way to get money back?

This stupidity has cost to us EUR 1194.43 . We can send the vouchers to you.

This is equivalent to 200 shirts in Brazil

But, we signed the statutes, congratulations... :\
