Reconstruction and Development Bloc Suspends Parliamentary Attendance Over Violations

The Reconstruction and Development parliamentary bloc announced on Monday the suspension of its attendance at parliamentary sessions in protest against violations and insults directed at its members by some deputies. The bloc stated that systematic violations and irresponsible behaviors are being practiced by certain deputies, representing a deviation from parliamentary principles and political competition rules, and are part of targeted campaigns against the bloc and its leadership. The statement emphasized the bloc's commitment to rising above negative responses and favoring wisdom and dialogue, noting that it submitted an official memorandum to the Speaker demanding the referral of the concerned deputy to the Parliamentary Conduct Committee, but no practical measures were taken, leading to continued insults. The bloc called on the Speaker and his deputies to take a firm and responsible stance to end these practices, announcing the suspension of attendance and refusal to resume participation until legal procedures are implemented to protect the dignity of parliamentary work and respect for political forces. It stressed that maintaining political stability and fair competition is an ethical and legal commitment that the bloc will defend by all available legal means. The bloc urged the parliament to focus its efforts on serving citizens in facing political, economic, and security challenges instead of engaging in disputes that threaten political and social stability.
