He should have come here and spoken that could have diffused the entire crisis... He should come here and tell the people, if he had spoken to the MPs, given his point of view, I'm sure this whole crisis could have been diffused. This is escalating only because of the stubbornness of those involved. And I must say, it's an unnecessary thing. We have important issues to discuss in parliament."
