"If it doesn't work out, the road will be hard. This is an external conspiracy to overthrow the government. Mr. Speaker! At the same time, the conscience of some of our allies and our own people is awakened. "
"It's not a no-confidence motion, it's Article Five."
The Information Minister also said that outside powers want to change the government. Isn't this a violation of Article Five, is the people a puppet? Are we slaves? According to the Leader of the Opposition, we are beggars.
