Shafaq News/ Al-Fateh Parliamentary Bloc confirmed, on Sunday, that its objection to the law on emergency support for food security was for legal and technical reasons, not to deprive citizens of their rights, adding that it refuses to grant the current government the legitimacy to pass laws.
The head of the bloc, Abbas Al-Zamili, told Shafaq News Agency, “Our objection to the law of emergency support for food security is for legal and technical reasons, not to prevent citizens’ entitlements at the level of food, farmers’ entitlements, electricity wages and other details in the law.”
He added, “We had a role in discussing the final draft of a food security law before the Federal Court challenged it, but we actually refused to legislate laws in this way in order not to give legitimacy to the current government as it is a daily caretaker government, so that we go as a political force towards resolving the political blockage.”
Al-Zamili continued, “We did not object to the proposed food security law, and it had a first reading in the previous session of the House of Representatives, and we will certainly have contact with the representatives and members of the Parliamentary Finance Committee in this regard.”
He stressed that “the House of Representatives must legislate laws in a legal form, especially if there is a financial aspect so as not to be responded to by the Federal Court and the government.”
The law on emergency support for food security sparked controversy between deputies and political blocs and those interested in political affairs between supporters and opponents, before the Federal Supreme Court vetoed and invalidated the law because the current government is a government for the conduct of daily business and it is not within its powers to legislate laws, propose them or send them to the House of Representatives.
