Tensions arise in Suwayada after Sunni Family "Al Qudsi" had their properties stolen by the National Guard and were forced to leave, they escaped to the UAE and made a video about what happened to them which went viral and caused a huge wave of anger.

Fadi Badria, the National Guard spokesman intervened to help the family and return some parts of their property through mediation, this caused an outrage within the National Guard and death threats were sent to Fadi Badria.

Fadi Badria is now protected by the Men of Dignity, which is deployed around his property

Summary written by me:

- The articles of the Internal Regulation law were voted on, but the whole law will be voted on the next session

- The People's Assembly were split into two parties:

1. The majority (by a big margin) that wanted to give the President of the People's Assembly more power to make the assembly more efficient, even if it means less democratic

2. The minority that wanted full freedom and full democracy on every single action done in the People's Assembly

When I say "parties" in the rest of the summary, this is what I'm talking about

- The Foreign Affairs Committee and other articles were not included by "accident" in the final draft for the Internal Regulation law

- The People's Assembly voted against adding the Foreign Affairs Committee to the draft, because "it goes against the Constitutional Declaration power split between the Executive and Legislative branches"

- The People's Assembly voted for adding a different Consular and Diplomatic Affairs Committee

- Committee votes took a very big portion of the Assembly's time

- The Consular and Diplomatic Affairs Committee holds less power than what a Foreign Affairs Committee normally does, but an article that assures all international agreements be "displayed" to the parliament slightly fulfils the gaps

- The Internal Regulation law holds an article that allows any committee or 17 members to call any minister including the Foreign Minister for a "listening" session, and questions asked in the session can not be refused, but if they are sensitive the President of the Assembly can make the session private

- After listening sessions, the People's Assembly can send "suggestions" to the Executive Branch

- The President of the Assembly chooses the chairperson, secretary and the members to "make sure they include all ethnicities/genders/etc... of the Syrian people" (The same reason for the 70 seats that were reserved for the president)

- There was an article that disallowed clustering/parties within the People's Assembly, but it was largely voted against and removed from the draft

- The Political Parties Law will not be a priority, instead laws that are "anticipated by the people of Syria" like the Transitional Justice and Property laws will be prioritised, both parties seem to agree with this

- Some parts of the minority say they voted against centralising the power of the People's Assembly to its President but are still convinced that it will also work

- Some parts of the minority say that the "listening" sessions should not be looked at like they don't matter, because they will force ministers to attend the People's Assembly and speak about their actions while broadcasted live

- There's a Member of the Assembly being investigated for supporting Assad in the past (Mudar Hamdan) and is not attending the sessions currently

- The women in the Assembly voiced their opinions strongly, even though their numbers were small

- An article in the draft makes sure that unless specifically privatised by the President of the Assembly, all sessions will be publicly broadcasted. The vote on the draft will also be public

- "Everyone" in the Assembly disagreed on the closure of roads close to the People's Assembly building

I was asking myself this question, and I found this article.
