Syrian parliamentary election Assad government ruling party criticized for overwhelming victory July 20 4:37
Parliamentary elections were held on the 19th in Syria where the civil war continued. However, since most of the candidates are on the Assad administration side, there are criticisms from the rebels, and the international community is facing severe concerns.
In Syria in the Middle East, where the civil war continues, the Assad administration has expanded its territory significantly and solidified its overwhelming advantage, and the rebels have been forced into some parts of the northwest.
Under these circumstances, a parliamentary election was voted on the expiration of the term on the 19th.
Syrian state news agency said it has set up polling stations in all provinces of the country, and Syrian Prime Minister Arnous said, "In addition to military victory, it will be a political victory. This election is a true democracy. To the government.”
Although it is expected that the ruling party of the Assad government will win the election, most of the candidates are on the Assad administration side, and votes were actually cast only in the areas controlled by the administration side, and the ruling of the opposition Citizens living in the area and refugees who have fled abroad appear to be unable to vote.
The Syrian National Union, the main body of the rebels, has been accused of saying, "It's not a decent election given the fact that there are 13 million refugees and internally displaced persons." Severe eyes are being paid by society.
