The Parliamentarian bloc of the Socialist Party (SP) withdrew yesterday, Tuesday, from the parliament sessions of discussing the draft law on amendments of the general elections and referendum law in protest to submitting the amendments draft to the constitutional committee in the parliament.

"The amendments draft presented by the government does not represent the national reconciliation between the political parties; it is just representing the viewpoint of the ruling party," the socialist party bloc in the parliament said in a statement published in to the SP’s website.
The SP condemned discussing the amendments draft before releasing all political detainees, removing all military phenomena and bringing to trials those who kill citizens during the peacefully protests.

The statement said the amendments draft does not include any point on how to move to the relative list system which all political parties have committed on.

“The amendments draft does not refer to the participation of woman in the parliamentarian and political life and that means the government has renounce all the commitments,” the statement added.

On his part, the deputy of Islah Party bloc in the parliament, Zaid al-Shami, said that the boycotting of SP for the parliament’s sessions confirm the positions of the opposition Join Meeting Parties (JMPs) that demand to stop militarizing the political life and release the political detainees.

"The JMPs have a unified position; we are with reforming the election system but we will not accept continuation of arresting the political activists and militarizing the political life," al-Shami said.
