Nejmeh Square without walls… Will reforms reach Parliament?

Ali takes this route every week, returning from the doctor’s eye examination. His eye, which was hit by shrapnel from a parliament member’s rifle, as he tried to breach the wall to enter parliament.

The results of the elections forced the authority to remove the separation walls, and the change deputies put the scale of demands on the reform track.

The hole in the wall of the authority is deafening its ears to the people, caused by change, and the opponents’ goal is to bring down symbols, not fortresses.

Work to remove the walls is slow, the duration of their installation was much shorter, and the bet is on sharpening the parliamentary opposition. This is in the case of continued coherence.

The road to Parliament will soon become clear to citizens, but the fear is that the laws of change will not take their final path within the Parliament, in a country where reforms are managed on the basis of settlements and quotas.
