Columnist Zaid Al-Shami says in an article says we hoped that the ruling party would reconsider its address and relationship with the other political forces and considers them as partners rather than subjects or enemies. It has nonetheless maintained its disdain of others and preaching them on how to think and work. It continued using phrases of accusations and humiliations until they had become fixed terms in the GPC dictionary of addresses. What has made it worse is its intentional mixture between the GPC as a ruling party and the homeland possessed by the people of Yemen and in considering itself as the only representative of all the people. This assumption and mixing pushes the brothers in the GPC to go further in despotism and in dealing with others as second or third degree citizens. We wished to listen to criticism of that behavior not to stabilize it, for otherwise there is no meaning for pluralism approved in the constitution.
