(Araucaria) Monk Apollo Speaks Out on Illegal Operation from Mount Athos

[Fred Carvalho]

Martins e Leo, a Salvação é que o Monk Apollo é bem ativo, mas claro
insuficiente para acalmar a demanda. Mas, no entendimento de todos é ele
que segura as permissões para outros operarem, criando uma  verdadeira
"reserva de mercado". Nada muito ... cristão... da parte dele!
