The political editor of e newspaper says in an article those who oppose the change have betted on the impossibility of realizing a vision of the Islah and that it is necessary to keep the situations as they are. The Islah program has been a strong reply to the ruling GPC party program which is just repetition of previous promises it did not meet and wrong policies that did not change and a failing experiment it has not benefited from. The government and its party continued defending the privileges the influential continued to entertain at the expense of the great majority interests. The ruling party program visualized the general conditions in the country as excellent though all realize the state of misery the have reached.
Despite the purposeful deformation of the Islah program by official media and conniving of the elections supreme committee the message of the program reached clear and pure and thus their illegal endeavor was doomed to failure. All that is because the truth and sincerity could not be covered.
