After the engineers and the municipalitie, How did the Jordanian “Muslim Brotherhood Kitchen” read the policy of “exclusion”?

Amman - It seems that the Islamic Action Front, the partisan arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, has set the compass and priorities of its strategy in dealing with sensitive developments taking place in the local reality, especially that the country is on the cusp of local council elections and decentralization, and after a series of statements It is related to the crisis that occurred and was enshrined in the body of the Jordanian Engineers Association, which is considered one of the most important professional unions.

The Islamist movement, represented in the dual list between the independents and the white list, had announced that it would not participate in the upcoming Engineers Syndicate elections, in protest against what he described as several official interventions that tried to falsify these elections even in the boxes, in addition to the prior mobilization and assignment of engineers in the public sector and civil and military institutions, as stated. In professional statements to confront independent candidates and candidates of the Islamist movement, while the opposition movement to the Islamists, which represents the “Nomu” list, announced that the branch elections were largely decided in exciting elections punctuated by many documented abuses, although the current Council of the Engineers Syndicate announced that it was transparent and fair, and congratulated the winners. Nomu's list won the majority of sites in the elections for the engineering branches in the governorates.

The elections for the Engineers Syndicate, which is the largest of the professional unions and has more than 170,000 members, remain for the offices and the people, until the elections for the committee, the president of the administrative body, and the Engineers Syndicate next March. Consequently, the Islamists' decision to boycott the next three electoral phases obtained or gained political cover from the leadership of the Jordanian Islamic Movement, and this naturally happened against the background of a clashing strategy that was decided after many consultations.

The leaders of the Islamic movement seem stable when reading about international and regional conditions and others related to bias in relations with the wings of the current Israeli government, the growth of contacts with it, and the strong return of the phenomenon of normalization with it. In the preparations for the Engineers Syndicate elections, or in the reading presented by several political and patriotic figures, the Secretary-General of the Islamic Action Front Party, Sheikh Murad Al-Adayleh; Targeting the Islamists is not only related to them, and is not likely related to internal or local reasons, but it is part of targeting anyone who opposes normalization or can stand in the way of the regional political arrangements taking place with the Israelis and others at this stage.

According to the reading of Al-Adayleh and his comrades in the Islamic movement, the voice of the professional unions should be stifled as a strong supporter of the people in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian people, and in the context of resisting and confronting normalization, noting that the Syndicate of Engineers, for example, is required annually 50 million dinars for its expenses and members’ subscriptions, which is a burden In fact, it is significant, and what is happening has to do with emptying the national and political content in the union work in favor of clearing the arena of voices that could support the Palestinian people or be interested in providing them with aid, in response - most likely, in reading the Muslim Brotherhood exclusively, with an Israeli discourse and another supported by the Gulf and other Arab countries behind the curtain and the scenes.However, this reading seems political and deeper than the scene of polarization, whether at the level of local elections for decentralized councils, or even at the level of the Engineers Syndicate, as the suspension of participation in the stages of its upcoming elections may lead later or be dropped by the Islamic Action Front party and supporters of the Islamic current on the rest of the unions. professional.

Islamists, oppositionists and independent jurists view the engineering arrangements that accompanied the municipal elections, the unions, and the Engineers Syndicate as part of a political cycle related to upcoming regional arrangements, and reducing voices that object, protest, or can obstruct what will happen later. It is a reading that is still politically inadequate, at least, to explaining deeply rooted and deep-rooted problems in the local dimension.

The second man in the government, Minister of Local Government and Deputy Prime Minister Tawfiq Krishan, had publicly stated that the ministry did not provide any services or special facilities for those who decide to boycott local and decentralized elections, and this was considered a sign of the kind that commented on the decision of the Islamic Action Front to suspend participation in the elections as well. those elections.

But the House of the Islamic Movement seems to have a deeper strategic vision than what happened with its parliamentary bloc in Parliament, the Engineers Syndicate, or even the municipal elections. It is a political perception that looks at the next stage of a possible clash with the authorities and the government with much caution and anticipation, and on the basis of not clashing and dealing with pieces And installments with the electoral copies when they occur according to the circumstances and considerations and in the interest of the Islamic movement organizations, in which prominent leaders, including Al-Adayleh, warn publicly that the intractable political mood and the continuation of the approach of exclusion, which appears clearly in all files, leads to the burial of the program of modernization of the political system, its destruction and fragmentation, and leads to Also to a state of general dissent that may push the Islamists to announce their retirement from political work and return to advocacy work, which is an urgent demand from the rules of the Islamic movement over the past weeks, emphasizing that the Muslim Brotherhood institutions are not at all concerned, in any way, with developing a state of conflict with the authorities.

After Batsirai, Madagascar prepares for cyclone Emnati

Madagascar is preparing to face a new cyclone which should hit its eastern coast overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday, after having already been hit by several tropical storms and a cyclone for a month.
