In the speech, King Abdullah said, “Jordan will remain a shining
example of progress, sacrifice, achievement, and overcoming challenges, no
matter how great.”
His Majesty addressed senators and representatives, saying they
bear the responsibility of debating and endorsing the election and political
parties’ laws, and the proposed constitutional amendments submitted by the
government.
“This modernization process is not limited to a set of laws and
regulations. At its essence, it is a process of social and cultural development,”
the King stressed.
His Majesty said political groupings and parties must rise to
the occasion and shoulder their responsibilities. “The proposed draft laws are
rooted in the Constitution and include guarantees for partisan engagement, in
which we will not allow obstruction or interference from any side,” the
King said.
The King stressed the need to maintain cooperation among all
branches of power — in accordance with the flexible separation of powers set by
the Constitution.
The King said, “over the past months, we witnessed tremendous
efforts to modernize the political system. Such efforts, by the committee we
had entrusted with that mission, are appreciated and are part of a wider
framework of economic and administrative modernization the government is
working to accomplish. At the same time, we must also reaffirm the importance
of upholding the rule of law on all, without discrimination or favoritism.”
