In the opinion of that political organization, although it supported the continuity of the interim government, the Transition Statute must be reviewed and “adapted to the requirements” in order to guarantee the change of administration of the country through constitutional means without affecting the constitutional principles that allow that the AN 2015 continue to function, as well as the interim; everything always in unity.
