Al-Kallala criticizes govts laws for neoliberal shift
Member of the Upper House, Dr. Khaled Al-Kalaldeh, issued sharp criticisms of the Real Estate Law draft in Jordan, expressing his concerns about the potential impacts of the amendments on citizens' property rights and public facilities—particularly regarding the use of the Hejaz Railway line and dealings with agreements related to the halt of the Hejaz Railway. He affirmed that these amendments favor the liberal economic school, which has not delivered tangible benefits to citizens, amidst rising unemployment, declining incomes, and deterioration of essential services, despite King Abdullah II's efforts to attract investment. He also pointed to risks associated with plans for economic projects and emphasized the need to protect sacred sites, while raising important questions about who pays, who owns, and who bears the risks.
