The Opposition Platform
(YT/NY) The Joint Opposition Platform parties have revealed today their reform program initiative for ‘comprehensive national reform’ and said they could consider having one single candidate for presidency depending on the circumstances in the coming months….
The initiative recommended a number of radical reforms including constitutional amendments that would limit parliamentarians’ term to 4 years and the president’s term to 5 years and would limit his authority drastically.
It also called for transforming the regime to a parliamentary system where the parliament is the strongest and ultimate power, which could easily approve and dissolve governments and decide on critical issues.
The opposition called in its initiative to totally separate the three executive, judicial, and legislative branches and build a completely impendent judiciary that is based on qualifications and strong immunity that would prevent any side from manipulating it.
Furthermore, the initiative called for separating the army from the executive branch and giving it an independent entity under the joint supervision of the executive and legislative branches to ensure it remains out of any partisan influence.
The initiative focused on economic, political, and social reforms to eliminate all negative phenomena such as lack of law and order, corruption, mismanagement, poverty, oppression, illiteracy, and other problems.
