A thousand people gathered in the Jordanian capital to demand political reforms in this realm and express their support for the mobilization of the Egyptian people against their president. The demonstration, organized by the main opposition, the Islamic Action Front (IAF), with the support of leftist parties, was initiated after the Friday prayers in mosques.
They also shouted their "full support to the great Egyptian people calling for the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, but the Islamist IAF has found that, contrary to what happens in Egypt, his training does not require a change of regime in Jordan, but political reforms. Islamic group leaders of Jordan King Abdullah II called for the adoption of political reforms leading to the formation of a "parliamentary government." In a statement, the Muslim Brotherhood informed the meeting that the monarch held on Thursday with the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamam Said, and the secretary general of its political arm, the FAI, Hamzeh Mansour, and other political leaders.
"The Islamic movement has made it clear that political reform should start with a modern electoral law to adopt a proportional representation system and lead to the formation of a parliamentary government." Until now, King is responsible for naming the ministers, who are usually chosen from among persons of public life due to the absence of large coalitions and political parties in Parliament, dominated by tribal groups or small groups.
The FAI is not part of Parliament because it boycotted the legislative elections Nov. 9 to consider that conditions were not adequate to ensure a fair vote. The request of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to Islamic sources, is part of the efforts of that group for Jordan to become a constitutional monarchy.
