Mukram Ahmad Al-Tarawneh
We are witnessing a deeply troubling reality as we watch younger generations struggle to identify their priorities, make sound decisions, or learn from their own mistakes or those of others.
At a time when the Middle East is engulfed in wars and filled with images of destruction, displacement, and fear, Jordan's ability to host an international cultural event on the scale of the Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts goes far beyond a cultural celebration. It becomes a political, civilizational, and humanitarian message in its own right.
Anyone observing Jordanian social media from abroad could easily conclude that nothing in the country is functioning properly, that its institutions are ineffective, and that the rule of law is absent.
Months ago, the social security file entered one of the most sensitive stages of the debate in years, as the issue relates to a system that affects the lives of hundreds of thousands of subscribers and retirees, and is linked to their future plans and savings, as well as their sense of economic security. Therefore, it was natural that the bill would become an issue of public opinion, and that the debates would go beyond the corridors of parliament to homes, social media, unions, and economic sectors.
Decisions are now being issued from the governorates, whether those related to national affairs or to the governorate itself. Before each visit by the Prime Minister, meetings are held with the MPs of those governorates to identify what their regions need. This contributes to making field visits reasonably productive, instead of turning them into mere ceremonial tours.
