00:00 You issued last night asking the AG to explain his discretion on the result of DNA.
00:07 Given that the AG has been on leave and his level of AG is last day today and we have a new AG tomorrow,
00:13 do you think that the PM should instruct or ask the AG to explain and does he still have the obligation to explain?
00:19 As I said, I already mentioned that in the statement very clearly.
00:22 I think that we cannot instruct. It is a basis of independence of the AG chambers.
00:30 We cannot instruct as a member of the Executive.
00:32 I mean I issued that statement not as a Minister but as a party leader.
00:36 And as I said, confidence to the judiciary system and our legal system is important.
00:43 And I think that I stand by my opinion and my statement that the best case scenario is that for the AG to explain the action that he has taken.
00:55 So that's up to the AG to act on it.
00:58 Thank you.
00:59 [END]
