Najavljujući svoj potez u petak (14. januara), dva dana nakon što je snimak emitiran, Meta je izjavio kako se želi suočiti s pravdom kao nezavisni građanin, a ne kao zvaničnik s dužnostima u vladi.
Announcing his move on Friday (January 14th), two days after the footage was aired, Meta said he wished to face justice as an independent citizen and not as an official with government duties.
