“There’s no proposal. There is a point of view I have respected human rights defenders. They appealed to the President. It is their dialogue. I take note of, and accept their point of view, respect the candidates who were called. Suggestions to me or other candidates should be from those agencies that are authorized to do so. But what happens before that is not my problem. If I receive an offer, I’ll think about it. Now I have to think of anything not necessary,” he said.
