The Syrian regime\u2019s media outlets broadcasted a televised speech by the Syrian regime’s president yesterday, dated 2024\/08\/05, before the “People\u2019s Assembly” in the heart of the Syrian capital, Damascus, where he presented his new visions for nearly 60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Syrian Future Movement\u2019s Comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bashar al-Assad’s appearance yesterday put an end to all speculations about the reasons for his absence from the Syrian scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regarding the internal Syrian affairs, his instructions to the People\u2019s Assembly dominated his speech, with a notable focus on changing the economic doctrine and the need to seek solutions for the economic deterioration, even if they are flawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for external matters, he briefly mentioned Gaza and courted the resistance axis after talks of a rift with them. He also discussed Turkish relations, stating that there are no preconditions for dialogue with Ankara and affirmed his openness to common grounds with Turkey, particularly on issues like terrorism and refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As expected, he overlooked the core of the Syrian tragedy, ignoring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We, in the Syrian Future Movement, interpret Assad’s omission of any mention of the Syrian opposition and the necessity of opening a new page with them as a sign of his continued indifference to the current divisions, even his satisfaction with them. He appears ready to focus solely on his areas of sovereignty without concern for the lands or people outside his control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assad’s speech proved that he is incapable of transitioning Syria to a comprehensive political solution, as there is a lack of a genuine vision for this solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bashar al-Assad’s new speech on economic change, his relations with foreign countries, and his stance on the Syrian opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":17616,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[135],"tags":[4794],"class_list":["post-17618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media-office-en","tag-news-and-commentary"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
