DAA: New Constitution ignores Syria’s diversity

الإدارة الذاتية الديمقراطية: الإعلان الدستوري لا يعكس التنوع المجتمعي وتطلعات السوريين

In a statement issued this evening regarding the "Constitutional Declaration" for the transitional phase of Damascus' authority, the administration emphasized that the declaration "contradicts the reality of Syria and the existing societal diversity," pointing out that it lacks the participation of various national components such as Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, Assyrians, and others.

The "Constitutional Declaration," which was signed today, consists of a preamble and four sections, with the most significant being the indication that the transitional phase of Damascus' authority will last for five years.

The statement further asserted that the declaration "distorts Syria’s national and societal identity," reflecting an "individualistic mentality" similar to the principles of the Ba'athist regime, which the Syrian people have risen against.

The DAA emphasized that Syria today needs "the unity and solidarity of its people to determine their democratic future," stressing that a true constitution must result from the participation of all national components.

The administration warned that the "Constitutional Declaration" undermines efforts to achieve real democracy in Syria, noting that its provisions are far from the hopes of the Syrian people and the true essence of their identity.

It called for a constitution that represents genuine national partnership, establishing a sustainable democratic path for Syria’s future and its coming generations.

The statement concluded with a reminder that returning to narrow practices and ideas could lead the country back to "square one," further exacerbating the suffering of the Syrian people and hindering the achievement of the desired stability.
