Jordan, Politics, 7/12/2001

The Jordanian national parties have strongly criticized that the Jordanian prime minister Ali Abu al-Ragheb who did not attend the meeting, he himself called for with the secretaries of these parties and other Jordanian parties.

These parties protested the position taken by the Prime minister and described it as a great insult for the Jordanian parties.

In a statement issued by the higher coordination committee of these parties on Wednesday said that " at the invitation of the prime minister to meet with the secretaries of the national Jordanian parties, these parties decided to attend the meeting in order to discuss important issues which are the elections law, the increase of oil by- product and the government's inclination to dissolve the municipal councils.

In its statement, the committee explained that the secretaries general of the Jordanian parties came to the Cabinet but the prime minister came one hour and 20 minutes later after the set time and no apology was made for that and as a result the secretaries withdrew from the meeting.
