“We still talk regularly during the week. By noticing the presence of elements, at some point, when we suspect some problems, I will not list because I am not on the ground, it may be necessary to call the police. The police should be able to intervene quickly to consider or not take into account subsequent issues, other than the items in the search and the like, it does not matter one way or another, ”he said.
Ministers Blaise and McCann confirmed on Friday that they would not seek re-election in October.
