The trustworthiness of this cabinet on the international stage will depend on the way the authorities act on the immediately next period. The people's support is a compulsory element for the success of the government's policies. 

I want a good cooperation between the government and parliament, in order to promote European reforms. You may rely on the support of the head of state in this respect.

I wish you every success. God help you!”
