A Stirring Protest: Opposition Walkout in Parliament
In a dramatic turn of events, opposition parties in the House of Representatives staged a walkout during the weekly oral questions session, highlighting their dissatisfaction with the government’s lack of action. The absence of Minister of Higher Education Abdel Latif Miraoui, amid ongoing protests by medical student bodies, was a key point of contention leading to the protest.
The opposition, including various political groups, emphasized their frustration with the government’s failure to address urgent matters and engage in meaningful dialogue. Rachid Hamouni of the Progress and Socialism Party stressed that the walkout was not a political maneuver but a plea for action on pressing issues affecting medical students.
Despite differing opinions within opposition ranks, there is a collective demand for the government to reassess its approach to parliamentary responsibilities and address pressing issues promptly. The walkout serves as a reminder of the opposition’s unwavering commitment to holding the government accountable for its actions.
