The Syrian Future Movement welcomes the statements made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the interim government, Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani, during a dialogue session at Chatham House in London on November 13th. In these statements, he affirmed that the next phase in Syria will witness the establishment of political parties operating within a broad national pluralism, paving the way for presidential and parliamentary elections in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement believes that this statement represents a qualitative step in the political trajectory of the new Syria. It reflects an official recognition of the necessity to move from a one-party system to a responsible, competitive, and civic approach, based on the participation of all Syrians in shaping the future of their country and strengthening the presence of national political forces that have remained committed to defending the values \u200b\u200bof freedom, justice, and citizenship throughout the past years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes that opening the door to the establishment of competing parties requires a clear legislative framework that guarantees freedom of political organization, transparency of funding, equal opportunities for all civil forces, and a complete avoidance of any exclusionary practices or administrative dominance. This will ensure a genuine, not merely superficial, political transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes that building a new political party system must be based on the principles of the constitution and the law, respect for intellectual pluralism, and the rejection of the sectarian and ethnic polarization that the previous regime exploited for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement considers multi-party politics a cornerstone of the national project it is working on during this transitional phase, within its vision of building a pluralistic civil state based on the rule of law and institutions that represent all Syrians without exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From this perspective, the Syrian Future Movement affirms its full readiness to contribute to establishing a healthy political environment and to engage positively in any national dialogue aimed at developing the law on political parties and political life, in a way that serves the revolution’s goals of justice, dignity, and the restoration of sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this pivotal moment, the Syrian Future Movement calls on all national and civil forces to seize this historic opportunity to actively participate in shaping Syria’s future, contribute to consolidating the values \u200b\u200bof political pluralism, and work together towards a truly democratic phase worthy of the sacrifices of the Syrian people and the collective national aspirations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
