President Bashar al-Assad has reduced Syria to himself, stressing that his re-election is “a phenomenon of unprecedented challenge to the enemies of the homeland”. And he felt that what he called the presidential elections in the country “were not elections but revolution”, adding: “In this spirit, we will be able to defeat our enemies”.
Al-Assad said on Friday evening: “Those who came out to participate in the presidential elections presented the true meaning of the revolution after it was polluted by mercenaries.”
He added – in a speech broadcast on Syrian television – a day after announcing his victory in the presidential election with 95.1% of the vote: “You have defined the revolution and brought it back to its glory ».
He continued, “In this merit, your definition of patriotism did not differ in content, but it differed in method and style, and it will inevitably differ in results and repercussions. Your messages will penetrate all barriers. and shields they have placed around their minds, and their minds will shift from the state of willful torpor, in which they have lived for years, to the state of forced reflection about it.
Contrary to the opposition’s description of the event as a “poor game,” al-Assad viewed the presidential elections as “an unprecedented challenge to the country’s enemies of various nationalities, loyalties and subordinations, a crushing their arrogance and a slap in the face of their clients and cowards. This challenge is the highest degree of expression of a sincere and deep loyalty to the motherland.
Al-Assad added: “You have redefined patriotism, and that automatically means redefining betrayal, and the difference between them is like the difference between what has been called a revolutionary revolution, and what we have seen bulls burst, and that’s the difference between a revolutionary absorbent honor and a forage-feeding bull. “
He continued: “The people who choose me to serve them in the coming constitutional period is a great honor that only the honor of belonging to this people can live up to … not only with the identity, but also with aspirations, ideas, values And customs … without them, a nation cannot exist after 10 years of war. “
