As you know, very soon there will be a gap in the Senate if we do not advance quickly, so, in this sense, [...] we do all the preparations so that when our Prime Minister will be ratified, we went on elections [...] for the moment I assure you, we go towards elections, this is something that lets us know that the democracy is ongoing. In fact, these elections should have been made since last November [...] we was delayed because of some crisis [...] but we are working now to fast forward with the elections, the electoral calendar and the appropriate CEP will be established..."
