The majority leadershio of the House are not “state apparatus”? Because they were the main source fanning a big deal out of it.

I mean, no political commentary intended, but I don't really see the present house as like, well represented at the helm of the government? It seems like the state apparatus is keeping them at arms length from power, yes, due to the internal turmoil that has been ongoing for some time. Thus I basically mentally lump them in with "media and public."

They're anti-state apparatus -- remember, they're the ones who attempted a coup.
