Eagle Hills' link to Zionism cannot be erased, but Rasmale deal's commercial terms can be amended. Zio Naaif knows this.
So he’s saying that Rasmale deal should not be debated on religious or anti-Zionist grounds. And that it should not be the central concern and that public debate should instead focus on the agreement's commercial terms, which, unlike Eagle Hills' ties to Zionism, can be renegotiated.
In effect, he is trying to persuade the public that Zionism is not a legitimate basis for demanding the agreement's termination.
Well, Naaif. Zio. Fuck you. Zionism is why we’re opposed to the deal. Everything else comes after that. Public interest test fails at Zionism. We’re not interested in the commercial terms nonsense. It’s irrelevant.

No. Maldives ZIONISM apologist era.
Secularity would be surprisingly much better than “Muslim country” where criticizing one for their “religion” is illegal.
They purposely left the wording vague and claim we can still criticize Zionism as it’s a movement.
Too bad religious Zionism is a thing tho?

The reason many MPs are now soft launching that the citizens do not need to see the eagle hills rasmale agreement is because
- the deal we are being presented is not what is being signed
- we will not get to see the full contract terms
- the financial terms we will be presented with are not truly accurate

How a political party governs itself as a party reflects how it will govern the country when in power.

Between 2018 and 2026, Maldivian taxpayers have paid former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom 8,998,333.33 in former presidential allowances.
That is approximately 2,737 every single day for 9 years straight.
As a country, we need to start a serious debate about this.
It is not that we believe former presidents should receive no allowances. Rather, how much we pay, how we determine those amounts, and how long we continue paying them must reflect the economic realities of the Maldives.
After MPs’ salaries, the next petition should address former presidents’ allowances and benefits. It’s time to start this debate.
Taxpayers have paid so far
Maumoon: 72 million
Nasheed: 43 million
Waheed: 25 million
Yameen: 9 million
Solih: 10 million
Total: 159 million.
These payments will continue, and future former presidents will become eligible too.
As a nation, we must ask, can we afford this? Are these allowances proportionate to our economic reality, national income and the living standards of ordinary Maldivians?
Public money should reflect public priorities.
