Cabinet to Decide on Housing Plans, Constitutional Amendment, and Voting Rights

The Council of Ministers is expected to make three significant decisions today: the expansion of housing schemes, a constitutional amendment, and granting voting rights to displaced persons. The expansion of housing schemes aims to provide financial assistance to more citizens, while the constitutional amendment will strengthen the work of law enforcement agencies, following recommendations from the FBI. Additionally, voting rights will be granted to those displaced by recent events in local government elections, both in their place of residence and their place of displacement, as already applies to those displaced by their ancestors. These decisions are part of a broader framework to strengthen social policy, security, and institutional equality.
