The Core Group commends the efforts undertaken by the President of the Republic to implement the recommendation of the Presidential Advisory Commission and the work he has undertaken, together with the Presidents of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, the representatives of political parties and other political stakeholders to forge the necessary consensus for the nomination of a Prime Minister and the formation of a consensus government.

The members of the Core Group note with appreciation the positive response by the nine Electoral Councilors to the appeasement measures recommended by the Commission as well as the the political goodwill and constructive attitude displayed thus far by various political parties, by responding to the invitation by the President of the Republic for negotiations.

The Core Group encourages all other actors concerned to commit to accepting the measures proposed by the Advisory Commission and to respect the constitutional legitimacy of the President of the Republic, in order to preserve stability and create a climate of confidence, serenity and mutual respect in efforts to find a rapid and comprehensive solution to the political crisis, which allows for the holding of inclusive and fair elections as soon as possible.
