The representatives of the “Forces of Change” announced, in an issued statement today, that “based on our parliamentary responsibilities and the confidence and role entrusted in us by the people since October 17, and in confirmation of the principles that we raise and pressure to become part of the parliamentary work, we announce the nomination of the representatives of the ‘Forces of Change’ in the parliamentary committees, according to the principle of priority of specialization, and the ability to present a new model in parliamentary work based on transparency and the legislative interest of citizens over all other partisan or factional interests.”

The statement deemed the parliamentary committees as the “kitchen” of legislation and not the “kitchen” of quotas and appeasement of this group or that…”Accordingly, we want our presence in these committees to defend people’s rights and enhance transparency within said committees,” it added.

In line with the above, the “Forces of Change” met and discussed the election session of the Parliament’s committees, whereby they “unanimously emphasized the importance of participating in all committees for their pivotal role,” and agreed to “nominate the change deputies to the main parliamentary committees by consensus among members according to their competence, specialty and expertise.”

“Based on their adherence to frankness and transparency in their parliamentary work, the deputies of change decided to officially announce their candidacies through the General Secretariat of the Parliament Council on Monday,” the statement concluded.
