Bahrain Mirror: Al-Wefaq leader Ali Al-Aswad said that the Parliamentary elections won't yield a sustainable solution to the current crisis in Bahrain.

He said in a series of tweets via his own account that "the authorities' action in the coming period focuses on fabricating a political and historical dispute as well as turning the demands of genuine partnership in Bahrain into marginal cases about services, livelihood and other marginal issues distancing them from the historical and political dispute, trying the failure tried is considered a failure."

Al-Aswad stressed that "the current political and economic situations and the current disputes does not bode well for the countries of the region".

He added "Thus, the talk about a large national project in Bahrain under the name of Parliamentary elections is far from reality, amid absence of desire in serious and real dialogue to get out of the tunnel which the authorities have put all Bahrainis in."

"What is being reported about political parties in Bahrain about their desire to end the dispute between them and the majority of people is default talk, as there can't be a sustainable political solution at a time the authorities are distancing the opposition political parties and continue to arrest and imprison people, harassing the press and preventing public freedoms according to a systematic plan," the MP further stated.

He stated that of the most important "current issues in Bahrain are: absence of political dialogue with competent parties, distancing political societies, imprisoning dissidents, authorities' ignoring for more than 2 third of the people, government weakness to managing the economic crisis,  loss of the compass of official diplomatic work, the decline of Bahrain's international reputation in all forums."

MP Ali Al-Aswad stressed that "the opposition is talking about an inclusive political operation in Bahrain and the government is focusing on elections of a council with no powers, which if kept or removed wouldn't change a thing, without real control or accountability. The base is the political partnership of all the components of the nation based on the equation of democracy that is part of the concept of Constitutional Monarchy which is historically compatible.
