Paragraph 82
 

(a) Before adopting the Decree of 10 June, the President offered his assistance to the parties to postpone the elections in order for them to find a compromise. This shows that the President tried to attenuate the crisis, taking into account his role as the organ that represents the unity of the people (Article 86 of the Constitution). The President stated that his intention was to avoid bloodshed, defending political pluralism, preserving stability and upholding the democratic credentials of the country.
