Former President and MDP Chairperson Mohamed Nasheed has stated that President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu must realize he is instigating the beginning of a revolution. Nasheed warned that the Maldivian people will rise up in revolt and will fulfill all necessary obligations to defend their rights.
Speaking at the "Employment Thursday" protest held by the MDP on Thursday night, Nasheed stated that the Maldivian Democratic Party was founded to protect the rights of the Maldivian people. He emphasized that the party's objective and goal is to ensure prosperity for the citizens, adding that such prosperity is built upon the protection of their fundamental rights.
Nasheed stated that the Constitution guarantees all fundamental elements and protections for workers' rights to the Maldivian people, noting that these rights were secured through the hard work of citizens over many generations.
Describing the MDP as both a movement and an institution, Nasheed asserted that the party would not back down. He declared that the party would mobilize and, God willing, bring an end to the current administration. He further assured the Maldivian workforce that they would not be left to stand alone, pledging that the MDP would remain steadfast in its support for every family.
We wish to assure every working citizen in the Maldives that they are not alone. We stand with every family. As state-owned enterprises continue to dismiss employees without any due process or fairness, we will remain steadfast alongside those workers in raising our voices against these injustices. Dr. Muizzu must understand that his actions are fueling the fires of a revolution. The Maldivian people will rise in defiance; they will fulfill every obligation necessary to defend their rights. The Maldivian Democratic Party will stand shoulder to shoulder with the citizens of this country.Former President and MDP Chairperson Mohamed Nasheed
