Almotamar.net - The Secretary General of the General People's Congress (GPC) Abdulqader Bajammal on Thursday said the GPC is "the sole organisation that took on colour of the Yemeni national soil and the Yemeni human," attributing that unique characteristic of the GPC to two reasons. The first was because it emerged as a result of big process of dialogue and the second it has included all the forces that adhered to this ideology or that under different banners, be it nationalist or Islamism or Marxist or leftist in general.

In a reviewing address opening the press conference he held on Thursday on the occasion of the elapse of 25 years of the GPC foundation, the Secretary General added "All that made them fight an absolutely non-ordinary ideological battle. Even when the unity cane the GPOC was decisive with regard to this issue."

Bajammal also reviewed the general image of the period that preceded the establishment of the GPC in which interacted the process of the partisan political and organisational construction, describing it as much sensitive period especially when concepts merge concerning who is to lead the revolution and lead it to attain the unity, which is the second revolution in the historical entity of the Yemeni people.

The Secretary General emphasised that establishment of the GPC represented a beginning for moving to the national ideology in Yemen at its various levels, he said with the foundation of the GPC the features of ideology was completely defined regarding the Yemeni political thought, the features of great national issues were defined and the most important of those great national issues was the philosophy of government, the philosophy of the system, philosophy of economy, philosophy of society, in addition to issues of the unity. All of them gathering inside that whole perspective.

Mr Bajammal also explained the different ideas of the political forces towards the topic of the revolution and the unity that preceded the stage of foundation of the GPC, pointing out that image represented a clear experiment which president Ali Abdullah Saleh and his comrades who led and founded the GPC managed to deal with it objectively.
Bajammal said the national charter was the clearest means for all the political parties regarding the Yemeni unity. The Baathists have their opinion in this regard and the Nasserites have their opinion with regard to the nationalist unity, but the national charter was fully clear with regard to a Yemeni national unity.

The GPC secretary general said celebrating the GPC's silver jubilee comes as an occasion having its great historical indications and has big impact on the political movement in Yemen especially since it has known a pioneering patriotic personality in the political and administrative field, namely president Ali Abdullah Saleh. He pointed to the conferences and cultural meetings held at Al-Mithaq Institute, saying all of them produced what can be called the middle thought, the thought that the GPC has reached at following the big internal friction or the internal interaction.

Mr Bajammal concluded his address by saying the GPC and its leadership managed to administer the political process charter-oriented medium thought that blends carefully the religious, nationalist and patriotic thought as well as the originality and modernity including liberal and socialist trends in their social just concept rather than the philosophical concept.
