There is a good thing about the last parliamentary elections, PM Marouf Bakhit will be forced out, I am looking forward to hearing about his dismission :)
So let's give Mr. Bakhit a warm Bye Bye, Adios, Sayonara..
And forever we will remember the five most important achievements of his government:
1- Freedom of speech in Jordan is even worse, all online sites are now under government's censorship, the close-down of ATV, a former MP and right-wing politician, Owaidy Abbadi, is now in jail for some declarations he made on a website (well, in reality no one knows of what he was accused).
2- No political freedom.. frauds in municipal elections, rejection of Toujan Faisal's candidacy.
3- Too much poisoned water, shawerma and falafel.
4- Indifference toward workers' demands, under Bakhit's government we had many riots and demonstrations in which poor citizens and workers were brutely thwarted by police, the government's cruel actions against sheep farmers were more appropriate to a Latin-American dictatorship.
5- More privatizations, price rising, and a more unstable economy.
I hope (but I am not sure) that things would be better with Nader Dahabi, he was accused(?) of corruption when he was the manager of Royal Jordanian and add the fact he is -by chance- the brother of the head of the Mokhabarat... wow!
Labels: Jordan, Politics
He was originally appointed after Amman bombings because there was too much focus on National security and well, who's better than a former Major General (or whatever the rank was) to do the job? Unfortunately, it didn't work too well... Ya cd Allah ysahhel 3alaih, bekaffi 2 years... time for some new blood

Yes Ola, the 2 years of Bakheet are a high record compared with other prime minister, and I think no one can blame him regarding national security.
Bakkouz, does that mean we should expect the same things from Dahabi? :(

i don't think u should blame the PM 4 his decisions because his decisions couldn't be done and turned into actions without the approval of the Parliament! u should blame the weak parliament we had for not standing by the people they represent.. let's hope 4 this new parliament we have to be a better one :)

You're right, psg, the parliament did not work well too, we had a weak parliament, and unfortunately i see the new parliament even weaker ...
Ok.. so, can I blame both the government and the parliament? ;)
