Presidency faces hurdles
MP Ibrahim Tarawneh took over as Speaker of the House of Representatives amid a raft of difficult issues, including amendments to the criminal and counterterrorism laws, social security and elections, as well as the budget law and related questions of salaries, debt, deficits and borrowing. The writer argues that handling these issues requires a delicate balance between fighting terrorism and protecting freedom of expression, while taking public reaction and MPs’ conflicting interests into account—particularly on social security and elections. The writer concludes that the Speakership will be tested in its ability to manage disagreements and calm tensions without infringing on people’s rights.
