If the bills in parliament are passed, Maldivians will no longer have the freedom to criticize the president or the Rasmale’ deal.
Instead of listening to the concerns raised by the public, President Muizzu has shown he does not care about the opinion of Maldivians, and is willing to defy them and the constitution to make the Rasmale’ deal happen.
In today's interview, @faya_i explains the many reasons behind his opposition to the Rasmale' deal. He reiterates his position against permanently giving away land to non-muslims and non-Maldivians, highlighting how an infinite leasehold presents our country to serious threats of encroachment by larger countries.
He criticizes the administration's secrecy and blatant obfuscation of the deal, firmly stating that a deal signed without a referendum on the legal and economic terms would be voided by the next administration.
