Islamic Action Front (IAF) Party Murad Al-Adaileh said that it is not possible to achieve an
effective partisan and political life without providing an atmosphere for
political freedoms.

He said that this must include lifting the security grip on
civil and political life and suspend restrictions on political parties, professional
associations, and civil society institutions, adding that only this will
encourage people to join political parties.
Speaking
at an event organized by the Supporters of Virtue Society on the output of the
Royal Committee to Modernize the Political System on Tuesday,
Adaileh said: “What is the message that the authorities are sending by
arresting Jordanian youth and university students who have expressed their
rejection of normalization and of the energy-for-water agreement that affects
the security and stability of the country.”
On the
proposed constitutional amendments, Adaileh said the government’s proposed
amendments represent a change in the shape of the political system in Jordan
from a parliamentary monarchy to an absolute monarchy and by making the King
the face of the executive authority in a way that does not serve the interests
of the political system, while undermining the general mandate of the
government.
He
called on the Lower House to reject these amendments to ensure national
stability.
