Echoes of the success of the 7th Central Municipal Council (CMC) elections still capture the interests of the Qatari newspapers published on Saturday, which confirmed that the wide turnout embodies the state’s approach to enhancing popular participation in decision-making, in order to achieve the development aspirations set by the Qatar National Vision 2030.
Qatari newspapers also highlighted in their editorials today other local issues, foremost of which is the states preparations to facilitate the performance of Hajj for the pilgrims of Qatar in terms of logistics and medical and educational care to enable them to perform the fifth pillar to the fullest, stressing that Qatar overcame all difficulties for the pilgrims, so that the Qatari Hajj mission became an example, in terms of full care and vigilance in order for the rituals to be performed in the fullest and easiest way.
On the Arab issue, the newspapers once again focused on the Palestinian cause, and the systematic Israeli assault on the land and people of Palestine, in light of the continued absence of accountability, noting that the aggressive and criminal escalation of colonial settler gangs showed that the condemnations, appeals and calls of the international community do not receive any response from the government of the Israeli entity, which continues its blatant defiance of the international community and the resolutions of international legitimacy.
Under the title “Promoting popular participation”, Al-Watan newspaper lauded, in its editorial today, the great efforts made by the Ministry of Interior to carry out the electoral process at the highest level and in accordance with the highest standards in terms of providing a modern database, registration of voters, preparation of voter lists in each constituency, providing the opportunity to purify these lists, appeal against those who do not meet the conditions of the voter, and the adoption of voter lists.
The newspaper said that the council have made many achievements in its previous sessions in terms of activating its role in oversight, and providing opinion, advice and useful proposals in all areas of its competence in municipal and agricultural affairs, and we are confident that the new council will continue this approach for the benefit of the country and the citizen.
For its part, and under the title “facilitating all procedures for Qatari pilgrims”, Al-Raya newspaper reviewed, in its editorial today, the efforts made by the Qatari Hajj mission in the Holy Land, which works with all its support units and specialized committees to serve the pilgrims of Qatar and the Qatari campaigns and make every effort and harness all capabilities and means of support in order to enable them to perform the religious duty in the best conditions.
The newspaper added that Qatar leaves no room for chance, thanks to the directives of the wise leadership, which always directs to facilitate all procedures for Qataris inside and outside Qatar, adding that Qatari pilgrims are given special care because they perform a sacred duty in which there is a lot of fatigue, especially with the influx of large numbers of pilgrims from the world to the holy places.
