And I told him ‘”Okay, but it was more of a personal decision,” Jorge Rial explained and reflected: “When it’s something very personal, you make the decision you want. When it’s a group decision, that’s when it involves a lot of people and there are people who may feel bad and I felt bad and the truth is, if the same thing happens again I’m probably going to react the same way.”
