While the percentage of those who believe that the Prime Minister is capable of fulfilling his responsibilities reached 66% of the segment. These numbers carry an important political significance, which is that the government and its president have a credit of trust that can be built upon to continue work, face challenges, and complete the programs and projects needed by the national economy and the Jordanian citizen.
Perhaps the most worth stopping at is the level of support enjoyed by government initiatives in the health, education, and transportation sectors; support for health initiatives reached 91%, while the percentage of support for the government school transportation project reached 97%, and 86% believed that building new schools contributes to addressing overcrowding. These are indicators that policies that touch on the daily needs of citizens find broad acceptance.
In the water file, which is one of the most important strategic challenges for Jordan, 91% of the national sample expressed optimism about the success of the National Water Carrier project. This percentage reflects a popular awareness of the importance of strategic projects that aim to enhance water security, and confirms that Jordanians look with hope to long-term solutions that can contribute to protecting the Kingdom's resources.
The support of 69% for raising the minimum wage, and 61% for the decision to freeze fuel prices, reflects acceptance of measures aimed at alleviating the burdens on citizens. The importance of these steps remains in building upon them, and developing them within broader economic policies that open the door to investment and production, provide job opportunities, and enhance the ability of families to cope with the costs of life.
In conclusion, the real response to doubters is not by entering into endless debates, nor by trying to convince everyone that the road is free of challenges, but by presenting the facts as they are, acknowledging what needs to be developed, and highlighting what progress has been made. Countries are not built with pessimism, nor do they progress by minimizing every effort. Also, responsible criticism is entirely different from skepticism that ignores facts and puts all efforts in the same category.
