The Presidency of the Council of Ministers is able to address the requirements of the stage and achieve the political and popular consensus required to cross the country to safety and restore order and prepare for the upcoming elections, which called the Supreme Religious Authority and the national forces and demonstrators to request those concerned to expedite the resolution of the suspicious file The government's ».
