Prime Minister Bishr Al-Khasawneh said, on Saturday, that youth are the cornerstone of comprehensive modernization in its political, economic and social tracks.

He added during a dialogue meeting at Mu’tah University that the wager in this modernization path and the engine of real change in the modernization path are the youth.

Speaking about the youth, he continued: “This is the category on which he is betting on bringing about change, and on which he is betting on presenting a vital model that is steadfast in the Jordanian state in its second centenary. With security, safety, stability and development, as indicated by the extension of our universities, schools, health centers, infrastructure services and electricity.

Regarding the achievement, Al-Khasawneh said that there has been an achievement in almost complete eradication of illiteracy.

Al-Khasawneh said that the Jordanian state entered the second centenary of its life, coinciding with the world’s exit from the Corona pandemic, which cast a heavy shadow politically, economically, socially, and even administratively.

Al-Khasawneh pointed out that the king and the crown prince led the reform project, which began with a reform path in which many elites participated in the context of the committee to modernize the political system, whose membership included the various colors of the active political spectrum in Jordan.

Al-Khasawneh said that the move has taken place to a stage in which work is now being framed in Jordan in the context of necessary programmatic parties.

Al-Khasawneh added that the system of political modernization included incentives to encourage young men and women to participate in party work by requiring 20% ​​for each of them in forming parties and ensuring leadership positions for them in it.

Al-Khasawneh said that the system of practicing partisan work in universities breaks the taboos related to youth’s fear and reluctance to partisan work.

Speaking about party work, he said that the main ground is that today it cannot achieve a qualitative leap without relying on the logic of regularity in programmatic party work, the basic premise of which are programs derived from local national needs, challenges and aspirations, awareness of economic realities, social realities, realities and special political characteristics in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Basically.

Al-Khasawneh said that the constitutional life of the parliament ends on 11/16/2024, so based on this general rule, parliamentary elections are supposed to be held in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in the period between 7/16 and 11/16, because the constitution says that parliamentary elections must be held within months. The 4 preceding the end of the term of the House of Representatives.

“Today, the effort must be focused on increasing the percentage of universal suffrage in the next electoral station by 2024, at least by 15% more than the previous percentages, at least in order to say that we succeeded in a basic station, and this will not be achieved unless we encourage our youth to turn out to work regularly.” partisan.” According to Khasawneh

And he continued: “We admit that for decades, regular partisan work was considered one of the prohibitions, and breaking this taboo and taboo is not an easy matter, because many of those who regularly work in partisan work were subjected to harassment, whether with regard to their future career in the public sector or sometimes in their economic interests. Now we break this taboo.” “.

Al-Khasawneh said: “We, as a government, at least on our part, have guarantees that none of our young women or men will be subjected to regular partisan work in universities. The system for organizing partisan work in universities aims to create a possible and safe environment for practicing political activity and regular partisan work inside universities at the same time.” Keeping the educational process away from partisan tensions by creating controls for impartiality and impartiality among educational cadres and cadres concerned with organizing youth activities, including the deanships of student affairs, in order to ensure impartiality and independence in the exercise of this partisan work.

He added, “Today, there are many questions that we saw in our meeting with students of middle universities 3 weeks ago at the University of Jordan. There are still questions that honorary students sign us a pledge not to attend partisan work. This has become a relic of the past.”

Al-Khasawneh said that he was always worried and obsessed with the security system, and I speak frankly that the General Intelligence clearly supports the system of political modernization and regularity in partisan work.

He said that the challenge is psychological, linked to breaking the taboo, because a large number of us faced difficulties because of their regularity in partisan work in the past, when there was no encouragement for partisan work.

He stressed that the partisan map is different today.

“The bet today is undoubtedly on young people to participate in a rate that makes them the engine of change and the bringer of this change. The next first station next summer in the political track is a very basic and important station and detailed with regard to this effort related to political modernization, which has direct repercussions on the path of economic modernization and the modernization of the public sector,” according to Khasawneh

According to the Prime Ministry, the meeting is part of the youth dialogues.

Al-Khasawneh had launched a series of dialogues with Jordanian youth under the title: (Visions of Modernization: Youth is the Focus of Concern), as the first dialogue meeting took place at the University of Jordan.
