We begin [00:00:27] with the headlines. The Arab Index [00:00:31] 2026 monitors the opinions of Syrians on the political, [00:00:34] economic, and security situations, [00:00:38] showing optimism for the political path. [00:00:43] who have spent years A Lebanese ministerial delegation headed by the Deputy Prime Minister visits Damascus to discuss [00:00:47] border and education issues and the voluntary return of Syrian [00:00:50] refugees. [00:00:53] The Civil Defense warns of the displacement of war remnants [00:00:56] from the desert and other areas due to floods, [00:01:00] to areas considered [00:01:02] safe. [00:01:04] Arab parties in the Israeli Knesset meet to coordinate [00:01:08] their positions with the aim of overthrowing Netanyahu's government. [00:01:30] Details: The Arab Center for Contemporary Syria Studies [00:01:33] issued a report titled "Results of the Arab Index Survey [00:01:37] in Syria for 2026," [00:01:40] based on a representative sample of [00:01:43] 3,600 male and female respondents. [00:01:47] The results showed that half of the respondents, [00:01:50] 50%, believe that things in their country are heading in [00:01:53] the right direction thanks to the demise of the previous regime [00:01:57] with the families of those and improved stability. This was reflected [00:02:00] in the positive assessment of the general [00:02:02] But Wasim, generally, situation, where 68% [00:02:06] described the security situation as good or very [00:02:09] good, while [00:02:12] among the majority of Syrians 63% assessed the political situation positively. On the economic [00:02:17] infiltrate and set up checkpoints front, more than 42% of respondents indicated that the main [00:02:21] problems facing Syria [00:02:24] currently are economic challenges. [00:02:27] Politically, 76% [00:02:31] youth, local of Syrians agree that the democratic system is the best, while [00:02:34] 72% expressed their willingness to participate [00:02:38] in any parliamentary or presidential elections [00:02:41] if they were held [00:02:45] dear viewers. Of course, Wasim, tomorrow. [00:02:50] and what is also being [00:02:51] of political and administrative Joining me from Damascus is Syria TV correspondent Hazem Awad. [00:02:54] Good evening, Hazem. [00:03:01] in the case of Mohammed Ghomair, such as mines and war Welcome. a series of discussions with their counterparts Despite the positive indicators, politically and securely, more than [00:03:04] 42% of respondents [00:03:07] consider economic challenges to be the main problem [00:03:11] in the country. What [00:03:12] are the priorities in this regard? [00:03:17] Indeed, Wasim, this index [00:03:21] has recorded many aspects of Syrians' lives, [00:03:25] Al-Atrash has expertise their attitudes, and their preferences regarding Syria's reality and future. The economic [00:03:29] aspect was particularly [00:03:32] noteworthy, especially when we talk about more than [00:03:36] details about Al-Atrash 50% of the surveyed sample of [00:03:39] 3,600 [00:03:41] male and female respondents believing that economic policies [00:03:45] do not represent them. There is also a large percentage [00:03:48] of Syrians surveyed who [00:03:51] perhaps chose [00:03:54] answers other than that the challenges [00:03:58] facing Syrians today are [00:04:00] economic. They receive remittances [00:04:05] them on the ground, in large numbers. Let us observe some of the issues related to both [00:04:10] from December 1st. economics and politics, and residents here in Quneitra which perhaps topped [00:04:12] the large percentage, and remarkably, [00:04:16] Syrians' choice of a pluralistic democratic model [00:04:20] and separation of religion from the state, in addition [00:04:23] to the categorical rejection of recognizing Israel. Let's start [00:04:27] by talking about a clear decrease, at [00:04:30] least five to six points from last year. [00:04:34] It was 56% last year; today [00:04:37] 50% of Syrians believe that Syria is heading [00:04:40] in the right direction. 42% of [00:04:44] respondents believe that economic problems such as unemployment [00:04:48] to them about their living [00:04:49] mud and mud and poverty are the biggest challenges, compared to 33%, [00:04:53] which is also a percentage that should be considered, [00:04:55] approximately 33% of [00:04:58] respondents believe that political problems are among the major [00:05:02] challenges facing Syria's future. 40% of [00:05:06] the families of these respondents [00:05:09] in the index [00:05:13] receive external financial remittances, [00:05:16] either regularly or irregularly. [00:05:19] 29%, also a remarkable [00:05:22] percentage, even if it is less than 30%, but [00:05:26] this percentage indicates that [00:05:30] the surveyed individuals wish to [00:05:34] emigrate from Syria. [00:05:36] 88% confirm the existence of financial [00:05:40] and administrative corruption, and here we return to [00:05:44] the point we were discussing about notable percentages [00:05:47] that need to be addressed regarding the Syrian economic [00:05:51] file. 47% believe [00:05:55] that the law is applied equally, while [00:05:58] 36% of respondents believe there is [00:06:01] favoritism for certain groups. There are [00:06:05] 74%, which is a notable [00:06:08] percentage in support of the democratic [00:06:11] system and 66% support the separation of religion [00:06:14] from the state, and 22% prefer limiting transitional [00:06:18] justice accountability to officials of the former regime. Of course, [00:06:21] regarding Israel, 74% completely oppose any agreement [00:06:25] with Israel. These were the most prominent results [00:06:29] from the index. The figures, as you mentioned, Hazem, [00:06:32] around 72% expressed their willingness [00:06:36] to participate in parliamentary or presidential elections. [00:06:39] To what extent do you perceive actual public interest [00:06:43] in engaging in political life, [00:06:47] Actually, when we talk about an index of this kind, which is a study [00:06:51] of 3,600 respondents, some might consider the sample size [00:06:54] small compared to the Syrian population. [00:06:58] From various governorates, given the difficulty of accessing [00:07:01] certain governorates, did the survey include them [00:07:04] or not? We are talking about [00:07:08] a consensus or near consensus, let's say, [00:07:12] towards democracy, pluralism, and the separation of religion [00:07:15] from politics. Consequently, if this is applied, [00:07:18] it reflects, in one way or another, [00:07:21] a genuine intention [00:07:25] to participate in any elections, as they [00:07:28] chose the democratic model. This can perhaps [00:07:31] be observed in the street. If a random sample were chosen, [00:07:35] the issue might require a deeper study. However, [00:07:39] this index reflects respondents [00:07:42] from various Syrian geographies and governorates, [00:07:45] at least those under [00:07:49] the control of the Syrian government. Thank you for all [00:07:52] these clarifications, Syria TV correspondent from Damascus, Hazem [00:07:55] Awad. [00:08:04] A Lebanese ministerial delegation, headed by Deputy Prime Minister [00:08:08] Tariq Mitri, is holding [00:08:11] in the capital Damascus. The Lebanese delegation includes [00:08:15] the Minister of Education and Higher Education, the Minister of [00:08:18] Social Affairs, and the Minister of Labor, in addition to a technical [00:08:21] delegation from the Ministry of Interior. Foreign Minister [00:08:24] Asaad al-Shaibani received the Lebanese delegation at [00:08:28] Tishreen Palace before the start of bilateral sessions between the ministers [00:08:31] and their counterparts. The discussions [00:08:34] are expected to cover issues such as border control, [00:08:38] crossings, combating drug smuggling, [00:08:40] extremism, and regulating Syrians residing in Lebanon, [00:08:44] as well as facilitating the voluntary return of refugees. [00:08:48] The visit also addresses education files, birth registration, [00:08:51] and civil documents, within the framework of enhancing [00:08:55] cooperation and coordination [00:08:56] countries. [00:09:02] Joining me from Beirut is Syria TV correspondent Maya Hashem. Welcome, [00:09:05] Maya. Have there been any outcomes [00:09:09] from these discussions [00:09:11] between the Syrian government and the Lebanese government [00:09:15] in Damascus? [00:09:21] Yes, this is not the first visit of its kind by a high-level [00:09:24] Lebanese delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister Tariq [00:09:28] Mitri to Damascus. This visit was to complete [00:09:32] previous discussions and talks that were initiated [00:09:36] after the fall of the former regime through ministerial [00:09:39] visits by several Lebanese figures, [00:09:42] as well as the Syrian-Lebanese committees that convened [00:09:45] and worked to overcome all obstacles that prevailed [00:09:49] during the era of the overthrown regime, as well [00:09:52] as the period of Hezbollah's influence or Hezbollah's power [00:09:56] in Lebanon. Therefore, today's visit is the best evidence [00:09:59] that Beirut wants to keep communication [00:10:02] open and constant with the authorities [00:10:06] in Syria. Several issues were raised, and at the top [00:10:09] of these issues was the return of Syrian [00:10:12] refugees to their country. The return of Syrian refugees [00:10:16] to their country, in addition to ways of [00:10:19] developing their lives in Lebanon, [00:10:23] for example, by addressing births, addressing [00:10:27] the affairs of Syrian refugees in Lebanon in education, [00:10:31] in all sectors that extend for a period that would keep [00:10:34] them here in Lebanon. Therefore, there is a process [00:10:37] of overcoming obstacles related to Syrian refugees, [00:10:41] in addition to facilitating the return of Syrian [00:10:44] refugees through logistical provisions that the Lebanese [00:10:48] government and the Syrian government would jointly [00:10:50] provide to overcome all obstacles. Also, [00:10:54] this issue is being discussed in a notable [00:10:58] way today. There is a desire from [00:11:01] the authorities in Damascus to repatriate as many Syrian refugees [00:11:05] in Lebanon as possible, [00:11:08] of painful refuge in Lebanon. In addition to that, [00:11:11] the United Nations reported the return of approximately [00:11:14] 7,000 Syrian refugees from Lebanon [00:11:17] to their homes and villages after the fall of the former [00:11:21] regime. In addition to this issue, which Damascus [00:11:25] and Beirut prioritized in this visit, [00:11:28] there is also the issue of the Lebanese-Syrian [00:11:32] border and border security and the continuous and existing [00:11:34] security coordination that began a long [00:11:38] time ago until today. Also, [00:11:42] there is, let me say, relative calm [00:11:45] at the Lebanese-Syrian border, unlike [00:11:49] the previous era that prevailed during the time [00:11:52] of the former regime. In addition to several [00:11:55] other issues, including judicial issues [00:11:58] and also the file of Syrian [00:12:02] prisoners. All these files were addressed. Yes, [00:12:05] as I mentioned, it is not the first visit, but [00:12:08] the continuity of visits comes [00:12:11] to strengthen communication and also enhance ways of understanding [00:12:15] and reaching conclusions that suit both countries [00:12:18] regarding common issues. We are talking about two neighboring [00:12:22] countries, and therefore all these matters are [00:12:26] intended to overcome obstacles in them, in addition [00:12:29] to the great coordination required at this particular [00:12:32] stage between the two countries. Thank you for all these clarifications, [00:12:36] Syria TV correspondent from Beirut, Maya Hashem. [00:12:40] Mazloum Abdi, Advisor to the Presidency of the Republic, [00:12:43] stated that achieving stability in Syria [00:12:47] requires the participation of Kurds in state institutions, [00:12:51] emphasizing the continued work to complete integration [00:12:54] files, especially in the education and security sectors. [00:12:57] Abdi added, according to Rudaw agency, that the parties [00:13:01] that tried to obstruct the integration process [00:13:04] did not succeed in their endeavors, noting that the Kurdish [00:13:07] issue has become a topic within state institutions [00:13:10] with clear will and identity. [00:13:13] Abdi emphasized the importance [00:13:16] participation of Kurds in the coming [00:13:18] phase. Regarding the missing persons file, Abdi clarified [00:13:22] that a specialized committee continues its work to uncover [00:13:25] their fate and determine their whereabouts, [00:13:28] in parallel with efforts to secure the safe return [00:13:32] of displaced people to their areas. [00:13:39] In other news, Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani appointed [00:13:42] Mezena Al-Atrash as his advisor for peace [00:13:45] affairs at the ministry. According to SANA agency, [00:13:50] in community, humanitarian, [00:13:53] and media fields. She also holds degrees [00:13:57] in theatrical arts and media. More [00:14:01] in the following article. [00:15:33] Civil Defense revealed the displacement of war remnants from the desert [00:15:37] and other areas to relatively safe [00:15:40] locations, due to the heavy rains and floods [00:15:44] that hit various locations across the country in recent [00:15:47] days, urging civilians to avoid touching any [00:15:51] suspicious object and to report it to the authorities. [00:15:55] As a result of the recent and heavy rains [00:15:58] that fell across all of Syria, we experienced [00:16:01] massive floods and torrents, especially in desert [00:16:04] areas, as we saw on social media clips [00:16:08] that circulated recently. These torrents may have swept away [00:16:11] war remnants and mines. I hope that our civilian [00:16:14] brothers and sisters will not approach the paths of [00:16:17] these torrents, even if they have dried up, [00:16:21] and do not hesitate to report any strange object, and we [00:16:24] will answer your calls and reports, and most importantly, [00:16:27] stay safe. Civil Defense reported [00:16:31] the arrival of a support team from Aleppo to Raqqa [00:16:34] to assist in searching for a person swept away [00:16:39] by the floods, after the Raqqa Information Directorate [00:16:43] announced the discovery of the body of one of the missing persons [00:16:46] due to the recent floods that hit the governorate [00:16:49] and other areas in eastern the country. Search operations [00:16:53] continue for the sixth consecutive day with the participation [00:16:55] of Civil Defense and Ministry of Defense teams. [00:16:59] Assem Ghalioun, Director of Communications at the Ministry [00:17:03] of Defense, said that the teams participating in search [00:17:05] operations in Raqqa governorate and its countryside [00:17:08] include units from the Navy [00:17:10] and Coastal Defense. [00:17:14] For his part, Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management [00:17:17] Raed Al-Saleh said that the recent floods simultaneously [00:17:21] hit an area exceeding one third of Syria's [00:17:25] area, adding that response efforts may not have [00:17:28] been sufficient. Al-Saleh clarified in a post on the X platform [00:17:31] that the destruction left by the former regime in infrastructure [00:17:35] increased the difficulty of facing the disaster, [00:17:39] emphasizing that the ministry's teams exerted their utmost [00:17:42] efforts in cooperation with the Ministries of Interior and Defense, [00:17:45] from early warning and emergency response to removing [00:17:48] the effects of the floods [00:18:02] and assisting those affected. Joining me from Deir ez-Zor [00:18:05] is Syria TV correspondent Musaab Al-Hant. Do you have any [00:18:09] additional information about the areas [00:18:11] where the floods caused the displacement of war [00:18:15] remnants in the Syrian desert? Have these [00:18:17] areas been identified? [00:18:19] Greetings to you, Wasim, and to our [00:18:23] in eastern Syria, specifically in Deir ez-Zor governorate, [00:18:26] which has the highest concentration of, or rather, [00:18:30] the most areas in Syria with contaminated points [00:18:35] remnants. In fact, we have areas [00:18:39] where mines have been discovered, but there are [00:18:42] dozens of other areas where we do not know if there [00:18:46] are mines or not, and there probably [00:18:49] are. Minefields have been discovered according to the Ministry of Emergency [00:18:53] and Disaster Management, and dozens of fields have not [00:18:56] yet been discovered. The dangers of the floods [00:18:59] that affected wide areas of eastern Syria, especially [00:19:03] Deir ez-Zor governorate, which was most affected, [00:19:07] truly affected roads, agricultural lands, [00:19:10] and properties. Today, fears also extended [00:19:13] to the possibility of these mines and unexploded [00:19:16] war remnants being swept away by the flow [00:19:19] of water with the rising level of floods [00:19:22] and their flow through valleys, wadis, [00:19:26] and low-lying areas. We were present when the low-pressure [00:19:29] system hit Deir ez-Zor governorate and stopped after [00:19:33] a day. We headed to the most affected areas, which were [00:19:36] heavily submerged in water, and the water flow was very [00:19:39] fast. This is where the fears arise of these remnants [00:19:43] moving from their locations and reaching other areas [00:19:47] that may actually be inhabited, including agricultural [00:19:50] lands, pastures, and the vicinity of homes. [00:19:54] All the affected areas we went to have residents, [00:19:57] pastures, and main and secondary [00:20:00] roads for residents, especially in villages and residential [00:20:04] areas near the paths of the floods and the affected [00:20:07] areas. This is also where the danger lies [00:20:11] in these mines and ammunition, Wasim, which may be buried [00:20:14] under the soil or hidden among the mud and stones [00:20:18] swept away by the water, making their discovery [00:20:21] extremely difficult. In fact, we saw [00:20:26] almost half a meter deep. You cannot enter [00:20:30] a very distant agricultural area, street, or slope. [00:20:34] In addition, there is the possibility of civilians [00:20:37] being exposed to danger, especially children, shepherds, [00:20:41] and farmers. Hence, the warnings from the Ministry [00:20:44] of Emergency and Disaster Management and Civil Defense to residents [00:20:48] not to enter valleys and not [00:20:50] to touch any strange object. If they see a strange object [00:20:54] or unexploded mines or war remnants, not to approach [00:20:57] them or touch them, and to report to the nearest [00:21:01] Civil Defense point or Emergency and Disaster Management [00:21:04] or the army or engineering teams. In Deir ez-Zor, according [00:21:08] to the Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management, there are [00:21:11] more than half a million contaminated points with mines. Yes, thank [00:21:15] you for all these clarifications, and we wish everyone safety. [00:21:18] Syria TV correspondent from Deir [00:21:22] ez-Zor, Musaab Al-Hant. Thank you. The Raqqa Governorate [00:21:25] Electricity Company announced the return of electricity [00:21:29] to the entire city after an outage following a storm [00:21:32] that hit the region. The company stated on Facebook [00:21:36] that the fault that affected the high-voltage line [00:21:39] feeding from the dam station towards the Al-Furusiyyah [00:21:43] station has been repaired, confirming that its technical [00:21:46] workshop continues to monitor the electricity network to ensure [00:22:01] stable supply. Syria TV correspondent reported that [00:22:05] Israeli occupation forces infiltrated with three vehicles [00:22:08] into the village of Ma'ariya in western Daraa. The occupation [00:22:11] forces released two people they had abducted from the village [00:22:15] of Kouya in the Wadi al-Yarmouk area in rural Daraa [00:22:18] and from the village of Al-Hurriyah in rural Quneitra. [00:22:22] Our correspondent said that an occupation force infiltrated [00:22:25] Wadi Al-Raqqad in rural Daraa. [00:22:31] A women's delegation from the People's Assembly visited Quneitra [00:22:35] Governorate and held meetings with women from the governorate [00:22:38] to discuss livelihood challenges and requirements in light of [00:22:42] Israeli incursions. The visit included a meeting [00:22:47] abducted and held in Israeli prisons. What [00:22:50] is the history of Quneitra, let's say? What [00:22:54] did Quneitra offer to the world, [00:22:58] to Syria? Our initiative today is to [00:23:00] convey the voices of our people in the governorates [00:23:03] to the Parliament. This is the primary [00:23:06] goal, that their voices must be at the heart [00:23:10] of legislation, at the heart of the law, [00:23:13] interacting with the constitutions being written to shape [00:23:17] Syria's future. Women, [00:23:21] bodies working on the ground, all of them were expressing [00:23:24] their grievances today. We met with the Governor [00:23:27] of Quneitra, who told us about the reality [00:23:30] of Quneitra, and honestly, he put us [00:23:34] in the details of the lives and conditions of the people [00:23:37] of Quneitra, their priorities, [00:23:40] achieved on the ground. After that, we met [00:23:43] with the ladies, the ladies of Quneitra, [00:23:47] who are, mashallah, academic, active, community [00:23:50] leaders, civil also productive, owners [00:23:54] of projects. The interaction from [00:23:57] them was beyond expectations. The wonderful ladies [00:24:01] of Quneitra, mashallah, mashallah, welcome, welcome. [00:24:05] فيكم [00:24:09] Joining me from Quneitra is Syria TV correspondent [00:24:12] Mohammed Fahd. Welcome, Mohammed. What [00:24:16] are the additional details about this visit by [00:24:20] the women's delegation from the People's [00:24:23] Assembly to the governorate? Indeed, we have seen [00:24:27] this visit for the first time, a women's delegation from [00:24:30] the People's Assembly visiting Quneitra governorate. [00:24:33] Of course, they met with the Governor of Quneitra, and indeed, [00:24:37] the session explained the reality of Quneitra and the reality [00:24:40] of the service projects that will be completed [00:24:44] in the coming days, and the service projects [00:24:47] that need to be completed [00:24:50] and studied and laws enacted in order to implement [00:24:55] and to serve the citizens [00:24:58] governorate. There was also another session with women, [00:25:02] active in society, and also some [00:25:05] female managers in government institutions. They sat [00:25:09] with them and discussed the reality of the governorate [00:25:13] and the challenges and difficulties they face, [00:25:15] also in order to enact laws that serve the interests [00:25:19] of the people of Quneitra governorate. Also, in the end, [00:25:23] there was an archaeological site, Khan Arnaba archaeological [00:25:26] site in Khan Arnaba, and they also met with women [00:25:30] from the local community in Khan Arnaba town, [00:25:33] and they talked with them and listened [00:25:38] conditions and the issue of Israeli incursions [00:25:41] and their impact on the people, especially [00:25:45] in Quneitra governorate. There was also a side [00:25:48] meeting with some of the families of those abducted by the Israeli [00:25:52] occupation army, and they conveyed the reality [00:25:55] of their suffering, especially the mothers [00:25:58] who are waiting for their abducted children inside [00:26:02] Israeli prisons, and how they suffer and how [00:26:05] they go to protests to the Security Council, [00:26:09] to the headquarters to make their voices heard [00:26:12] by the Security Council [00:26:14] in order to look into these women and their children [00:26:18] detained inside Israeli prisons. Also, there were [00:26:22] promises to convey the voices of the people [00:26:26] of Quneitra governorate and the women of Quneitra [00:26:29] governorate to the Parliament and to those concerned [00:26:33] in order to look into these challenges [00:26:36] and difficulties that Quneitra governorate faces. [00:26:40] There are also promises to convey their voices [00:26:43] to those concerned in the Ministry of Foreign [00:26:47] Affairs in order to release the detainees [00:26:51] and find out their fate and how [00:26:53] they were detained. [00:26:57] Yes, indeed, these two young men were detained [00:27:01] approximately two days ago. One of them [00:27:05] is from the northern Quneitra countryside, from the town of [00:27:08] Al-Hurriyah, and the other is from the Yarmouk [00:27:11] Basin area. Of course, these individuals were released [00:27:15] successively. They are in good health. They were not [00:27:18] inside Israeli prisons, but rather in these Israeli [00:27:21] military bases that were recently established inside [00:27:25] Syrian territory. They were interrogated, and the information [00:27:28] regarding their non-affiliation with any armed group, [00:27:32] any group affiliated with Hezbollah, Iran, [00:27:34] and other such groups that the Israeli occupation [00:27:38] army uses as pretexts to abduct young men, [00:27:42] was confirmed. Also, one young man remains [00:27:45] abducted and has not been released yet. He is still [00:27:49] in the Israeli bases here in Quneitra governorate, [00:27:53] and he may be released in the coming hours, [00:27:56] according to one of the young men who was released from [00:28:00] these Israeli military bases. [00:28:05] these violations and incursions continue, and abduction [00:28:09] operations do not stop, and perhaps in the coming [00:28:12] hours, there will be new abduction operations, because the Israeli [00:28:16] occupation forces always [00:28:20] and search civilians [00:28:21] and arrest young men [00:28:24] under various pretexts. The Jordanian Northern Military [00:28:27] Zone thwarted an attempt by an individual to infiltrate [00:28:31] through one of its border fronts, according to Jordanian [00:28:34] media sources. According to the sources, Jordanian [00:28:38] border guards spotted the individual while he [00:28:41] was attempting to cross the border illegally [00:28:45] and dealt with him according to engagement [00:28:48] rules before arresting him and referring him [00:28:51] to the competent authorities [00:28:57] for legal action. The Lattakia judiciary began [00:29:00] the trial of the accused [00:29:04] who died due to complications from bleeding in the brain [00:29:07] and digestive system during his detention at the Haffe [00:29:11] police station in the countryside of the governorate. The Lattakia [00:29:15] judiciary clarified that the military court began [00:29:18] trial procedures to examine the facts contained in the case [00:29:22] file, discuss evidence and data, [00:29:24] and listen to statements and legal defenses, [00:29:28] in preparation for determining responsibilities as proven [00:29:32] before the court. The Ministry of Interior had announced [00:29:36] the referral of an investigator [00:29:52] to the Public Prosecution after investigations it conducted [00:29:56] in Ghomair's case in August last year. [00:30:00] The General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic issued a decision [00:30:03] to set the official working hours for public entities [00:30:06] of administrative nature from 8:00 AM to [00:30:09] 4:00 PM, effective [00:30:12] According to the General Secretariat, working hours and shift organization for public [00:30:16] entities of economic nature, whose work [00:30:19] requires continuous operation, will be determined according [00:30:23] to their special regulations and what serves the public [00:30:26] interest, noting the cancellation [00:30:29] of anything that contradicts [00:30:35] the content of the decision.
