Description[?]:
| After this election, the CPL clearly emerged as the largest party by far. However, we understand we did not get an absolute majority of seats and will have to make concessions. As these are our most natural partners, we are inviting the SDP, the PGP and White Rose leaders in order to form a government. We would like to have a CPL government supported by the SDP, the PGP and White Rose. There are laws that we would like to pass quickly and without concessions, because these are fundamental rights: -Repeal the divorce law. -Repeal the National Security Act -Restrict police searches with a warrant from a court Otherwise, our program is as follow.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we are still waiting for the PGP and White Rose reactions, we want to say that police searches without a warrant are not respecting fundamental rights. We encourage the SDP to support this measure and also the repealing of the divorce law because marriage is civil and not only religious. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, we support everything but those we outlined. |
