The official stated, "There have been talks about the need to organize the chaotic situation within the party, which has also been reported in the media. The President has consistently expressed his position of respecting the conclusions reached by the lawmakers through consensus," adding, "He believes that the lawmakers can reach a reasonable conclusion through intense discussions, and that position remains unchanged."
He continued, "The expectation is for the lawmakers to reach a consensus and for such democratic operations to take place," adding, "That is how democracy within the party grows and is realized."
