MDP decides on nationwide protest over major concerns
The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has decided to hold nationwide protests on Thursday over three allegations against the government. The allegations include stopping development projects, dismissing individuals from posts for political reasons, and filing political charges against those exercising freedom of speech and assembly. The resolution, submitted by MDP secretariats after former President Mohamed Nasheed was elected as MDP's Chairperson, states that projects initiated during the MDP government's term were stopped after the government changed, some nearing 90% completion. MDP plans to work with councils to finish these projects. The second allegation involves politically motivated dismissals and transfers of staff, violating state company regulations. The third allegation concerns political charges against free speech and assembly, with MDP offering legal aid to those affected.
