Columnist Zaid al-Shami says in his article about the price “dose” that it is a nightmare instigating horror in the hearts of the Yemenis because it means an increase in their suffering. It is an act that would tighten the grip around their living life and its results would be fighting agriculture and undermining the national industry, in addition to increasing the number of the poor and expansion in the area of corruption. The price dose would leave negative impact, socially, and morally and that would lead to disturbance and absence of security and spread of crime.

We do not refuse the doses for merely of practicing rejection, as some would like to depict the stance. Refusing doses does not mean we want the state to be run without budgets, but we are ambitious that the budget to be upgrading the economy and public life. We ask for a budget of human and social development, focusing on investment and to pay attention to the essential matters and postpone the formalities and not to become just consumer expenditures. It the doses are the ideal solution, the previous ones could have produced benefits.
