The "Tajaddod" bloc announced, in a statement issued after a meeting at its headquarters in Sin El Fil, its "boycott of the parliamentary session scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, April 25, in rejection of the extension of municipal and elective councils, considering it a constitutional entitlement that is unacceptable to be tampered with regarding timing and principle under any circumstance or excuse."
The bloc condemned "the rush of the presidential council to extend the municipalities," and considered "that the intersection among some forces of the system to bury the municipal entitlement and violate the constitution is a new chapter in the conspiracy against the constitution and institutions. The political forces involved in the crime of extension are simply hiding behind excuses and justifications, while solutions exist, represented by postponing the elections in areas where they are impossible to conduct, until circumstances allow them to be held later."
The bloc viewed "the political collusion of these forces, aimed at postponing municipal and elective elections, as an additional link in the ongoing process we are currently experiencing, which consists of obstructing presidential elections, and other entitlements including the formation of governments and the closure of the parliamentary council. It is the destructive behavior that has led the state into a state of decay and disintegration, and it is this behavior that we pledge to confront, through coordination among the opposition components and all sovereign and reformist forces."
They held "all the MPs and blocs that will participate in the session for the extension of the municipal entitlement responsible for violating the constitution," urging them to "refrain from betraying the voters who entrusted them." They renewed "the warning of the danger of extension, which will lead to the spread of a state of almost complete paralysis in the work of the extended municipal councils, which will translate into further burdening citizens with the absence of local authorities fulfilling their developmental and service roles."
