Fellow compatriots,
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Ministers and Government members who have called me personally in recent days to show their support. It’s not time for fakes and calculations: when the stakes for our country and for national peace are so critical, everyone must choose their side, and many have already done so.
I also thank some members of the Staff and the Armed Forces who, with responsibility and foresight, expressed their understanding and willingness not to betray their primary mission: to protect the people. I hope more will follow in the coming days, as history will remember those who chose the people over privilege.
To our journalist brothers and sisters, I am also appealing: do not allow yourselves to be turned into instruments of disinformation in the name of some favors or positions. You have a huge responsibility towards the youth of this country, who look at you as role models. Don't become the enemy of the people.
The time is bad but the hope is stronger. Together let us stand, united and vigilant. The future is in our hands.

My dear compatriots,
I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, the ministers and members of government who have personally called me in recent days to express their support. The time is no longer for pretenses or calculations: when the stakes for our country and for national peace are this crucial, everyone must choose their side—and many have already done so.
I also thank certain members of the High Command and our Armed Forces who, with responsibility and clarity, have made me aware of their determination not to betray their primary mission: protecting the people. I hope that others will follow in the coming days, because history will remember those who chose the people rather than privileges.
To our brothers and sisters in the press, I also make this appeal: do not allow yourselves to be turned into instruments of disinformation for the sake of favors or positions. You carry a great responsibility toward the youth of this country, who look up to you as models. Do not become enemies of the people.
The times are grave, but hope is stronger. Together, let us remain standing, united, and vigilant. The future is in our hands.
