“What has been
achieved in the past period was within the strategic vision of the state, not
an interim step, and was a higher national interest that everyone agreed on its
implementation ... to proceed toward an advanced political system”, he said on
Jordan Television’s Sixty Minutes on Friday.
His comment was
published by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, on Saturday.
The key parameters
of this vision, he pointed out, are development of partisan work in Jordan, the
electoral law and constitutional amendments that complimented the 2011
amendments.
“So, there was
seriousness on formation of parties, in terms of their number and political
participation, and that’s why they were given time to correct their status to
bolster them and allow for stronger parties to form alliances,” he added.
The parameters in
the political parties law, Azayzeh pointed out, were to protect the democratic
process without bias, which lies at the core of political work, adding that
only the ballot box will chart the political track.
The minister noted
achievements made on the path to
political modernization, including the passage
of the parties law and partisan activities on campuses, noting that the
government’s policy is to keep channels open with parties and civil society
institutions as a priority to ensure wider political participation.
