The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Counselor Aguila Saleh, conducted a dialogue session with the political team of the Media Center of the Speaker of the House of Representatives..
Saleh said: “During our visits to various countries and our meetings with politicians and parliamentarians in conferences or alone, and during our attendance at dialogue sessions in more than one country and with various parties, we did not ask for the exclusion, marginalization or exclusion of any party and we left the matter to the ballot box.”
He added: “We are the ones who presented the solution to end the political stalemate from the beginning, and we were able to achieve it until this moment, and the international and local parties were convinced of it. The solution was and still is for the Libyan people to go to the ballot boxes to choose their parliament and president of their own free will in fair elections under international monitoring and whose results everyone accepts, and since our role is in Achieving this project requirement is to issue a law to elect the president and the National Assembly and work to form a unified government.”
Saleh continued: “We did not line up or enter an alliance with the aim of harming the homeland or our political opponents. All of our calls and messages were and still are for reconciliation, bringing viewpoints closer, and for security, peace and progress.”
He added: “Perhaps development and reconstruction will succeed where politics has not succeeded. Its results will be the implementation of projects that will facilitate the means of life and revitalize economic life. This is what the Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund and the Libyan government have done and are doing. No one denies what has been accomplished to date except the ungrateful or the hater whose only concern is his personal battle, and we will continue this.” “The journey, with God’s help, and whoever comes after us will complete it.”
He added: “We did not enter into negotiations or dialogue with preconditions. We did not make any concessions to a foreign party, nor did we sign agreements with anyone. Our position was that when the Libyan people elect a president and a new parliament, they can sign whatever agreements they want in accordance with the constitution and the law.”
He said: “We affirm and reassure everyone that we are not a party to the international conflict and we do not align with one force against another force. We adhere to the issues of the Arab nation within the framework of its collective positions and the desires and aspirations of its people. We spread peace and peaceful coexistence and consider the peaceful transfer of power to be inevitable, if not today then tomorrow.”
Saleh continued: “We benefited from the experiences of other countries that witnessed violent and armed conflicts, and we launched the national reconciliation project and paved the way to reach it by issuing the transitional justice law, to graduate from revealing the truth to proving the harm to justice, then redressing it by compensating those affected materially and morally, and ultimately achieving a true and just national reconciliation that helps us all to achieve justice.” Turning the page on conflicts, grudges and hatred, and establishing for this purpose a body and a supportive financial fund that will relieve the general budget of the burden of its work and its committees and enable them to disburse compensation. To those entitled to it who were subjected to violations that resulted in harm to them.”
He added: “We say to those who object to the National Reconciliation Law that the way to present laws to the House of Representatives is through a proposal submitted by 10 representatives or a draft law presented by the government. This is the way to present the law, discuss it, and issue it from the House of Representatives.”
