Q:
It seems a bit irrelevant to think of Thursday in terms of which side
lost or won. Rather, it is clear that there is a part of the population
that is dissatisfied with the state. What do you see happening in the
near future? Will there be a political compromise of any sort? A unity
government, for example? How will the state address the grievances of
part of the population?
