MDP to hold nationwide protests on Thursday
The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has announced nationwide protests on Thursday against President Muizzu's administration. The decision followed unanimous approval of a resolution by all 52 members at the party's National Congress meeting on Monday night. The resolution highlights three grievances: stagnation of development projects across atolls, dismissal of state-owned enterprise employees for political reasons, and politically motivated charges. It notes that projects initiated under the previous MDP administration that were 90% complete have been halted, including water, sewerage, and electricity systems. The MDP also plans to establish a framework for legal assistance to those facing politically motivated dismissals and to work with local councils to complete halted projects.
