He emphasized: “We, as a bloc (Loyalty to the Resistance), insist that no distribution of losses be made at the expense of the contributor or citizen, but rather bear the responsibility of the one who brought the country to this collapse, and there are practical ideas for the distribution damages and fair we previously offered, and among them the one who unfairly won pays. His project, especially from a series of presidents, ministers, representatives, employees and contractors, and the state can track them down and request international assistance, and we are against paid out of their own money, offering the idea of ​​selling public funds.

Since income is based on one price and spending is another price, there is a structural problem as we pay the public sector at $1,500 and cost at $20,000, and that sector is suffering today, it’s not the time to allocate or juggle responsibilities, the government there is authority it can assume to resolve the outstanding issue in the budget and proposed laws.
The council is also responsible for passing laws, but these laws must be within the clear vision of the recovery plan.”
