On the Yemeni opposition the newspaper editorial says the unreasonable exaggeration and giving things meanings away from their content and paying attention to issues far from a real national demand of interest to Yemen and its sons, became thee days the core of the political address of the parties grouped in the Joint Meeting Parties. They focus on marginal issues that do not serve the homeland and do not touch the citizen's concerns. The editorial mentions that leaderships of those parties mistakenly think they practice politics in accordance with requirements of the present historical period in experienced by the homeland and the world.
The editorial accuses the opposition parties of fighting imaginary battles one time against the elections supreme commission and in another against the press law. The editorial says those parties do not realize that the change they demand in those two issues represents an enmity to democracy and against whatever is constitutional and establishments elected by the people. The elections supreme commission, says the editorial, is basically established by the legislative power and the parliament alone has the right to change it. Also, the uprightness of elections operation will not be achieved by mere change of persons but rather by the controls and procedures defined by the constitution, the law and presence of local and international observers in committees overseeing the elections.
