On February 26, Syrians turned out to vote on a new Constitution. Some areas reported record numbers of voters.
According to Syria’s Interior Minister, Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar, 89.4% voted in favor a new Constitution!
Despite the warmongering of the United States and Europe, the new Syrian Constitution ends 50 years of rule by the Ba’ath party. Article 23 supports women’s rights. Article 42 allows peaceful demonstrations. New presidents will be allowed to be elected to 2 seven year terms in office.
Meanwhile, 27 European countries announced that they will recognize only the Syrian National Council as the true government of Syria. The Syrian National Council is not supported by voters, and in fact is already breaking up. On February 26, 20 members left and formed the Syrian Patriotic Group.
The West’s ignoring of the record setting Syrian voting on a new Constitution, and the West’s increased support for illegitimate organizations, is proof that the West is not concerned about human rights, but only about oil and natural gas!
