Is about time.. I was wondering when you will come back to this exciting event that happened to you…
my father was Deputy Minister at the time and as such was not to be questioned under any circumstances!
When you mean “deputy minister”, is it like a rank in the military or is just the usual “minister” we know that’s been appointed by the president. Like over here, we’ve minister of sports, minister of education, etc..
Good question! And at the time I really didn't have a clue myself what exactly I meant by that... He was deputy Minister for State Security, responsible for the deputy area of foreign intelligence. His ‘baby’ was the development and operation of the DESINFORMATION Department.
All knowledge that I only gained much later. At that time, I saw him as "someone from the Council of Ministers with good connections..." To be honest, that was all I was interested in.
