Weren’t the educational buildings, health facilities harvested? and scientists? Al-Razih for a few more months, so that he can see some political balance and a government that takes care of the rationalization and leads to an acceptable economic balance that restores economic life to a minimum so that we can restore the balance that we lost.
He said: “Let us reevaluate wages and begin to establish a dignified life that we lost. Today we raise our voices to say:
1 – Yes to a parallel government with powers with a sense of inclusive patriotism capable of initiating reforms.
2- Do not confiscate the money of the depositors and reap their life and fatigue.
3- Do not eliminate subsidies.

5- Government hospitals (without salaries – without chain).
6- Official university and school training.
7 – Because the union is present in all the meetings that are held so that it can create a balanced situation, so that the rich and the leaders do not meet to decide the fate of the workers, the poor and those with absent kinship.
