After seven years of the global war launched against Syria, the Syrian workers reiterate their determination and support to the Syrian Arab Army’s heroic sacrifices and achievements through keeping the wheel of production turning despite the difficult circumstances. The continuity of work and production sends powerful message that terrorists will never win or succeed to undermine the Syrians’ willingness to defend the homeland and go ahead in the process of development and progress.

The Syrian  working class is exerting strenuous efforts to survive the economic war and the unfair unilateral sanctions imposed by western states, not to mention the devastation caused to the factories and infrastructures due to terrorist attacks.

The Syrian working class has a rich record of heroic struggle side by side with farmers and other classes in the Syrian society to push forward the development process and face all challenges and risks posed by terrorism.

May Day is an opportunity to improve performance to rise to the challenges facing society, as the current stage is a decisive one on which the future of Syria, the region, and international relations hinges.

 Work and productivity are the main line of defense for the people of any country. The working class  was and still is an essential ally for the Syrian Arab Army which is valiantly fighting Syria’s enemies. The efforts and sacrifices of the working class are essential in achieving steadfastness and victory. Syrian workers have been targeted by terrorists, and many of them lost their lives while working.

On May Day Syrian people nationwide express pride in Syria’s workers for their commitment to their duties and doing their part in defending Syria. The working class in Syria has shown creativity in overcoming difficulties and realizing development plans in the face of attempts to undermine the Syrian state. The working class has made great sacrifices for the sake of Syria, and it’s moving forward by embracing technological advancements and new economic and industrial standards.  The working class is the most giving group in society, and it plays a special role in the construction process that allows the nation to endure and rise up. Workers in Syria have been targeted by the conspiracy against Syria along with the country’s factories and infrastructure. Undaunted by the immense challenges spawned by the ongoing terrorism crisis, Syria’s workers stress they are now resolved more than any time before to continue performing their national task, notwithstanding its enormity.  Despite all the destruction, vandalism, and theft carried out by terrorists, the production process is still going on in Syria’s factories thanks to Syrian workers.

The idea of the state was based primarily on the foundations of the various forms and functions of the society, which are essentially a public service for the society, whether security, social or economic matters. The institution-building was based on legal rules that control public behavior against rights and duties, the idea of citizenship and the rule of law.

In this context, the institutions played an important role in building and stabilizing the modern state based on the idea of justice and good governance. Despite the dedication of the institutions, this did not miss or negate the idea of leadership . where the belief in the West tends to the idea of leadership and the disappearance of the role of institutions and the adoption of the resolution is one of the most important reasons for the two world wars in the last century.

The basic idea that should be mentioned in this context is that the Western liberal political style does not allow the role of institutions to be bypassed and does not accept the idea of monopoly of the decision even from the head of the institution or inflated the role of the person at the expense of the institution, The general principle is that the institution is greater than its president.

 What the American president is pointing at in his decisions and choices is an indication that we have a president who wants to lead the largest liberal capitalist state with an oriental mentality that has its own understanding and culture in its view of power that is structurally different from that of Western liberal states. In addition, The American president is a prisoner of the culture of money. He is looking at the financial gain, not the political, because he views America as a major company, not as an economic, political and military superpower.

The great and landslide victories recently realized by the Syrian Arab Army and the allied forces, especially in eastern Ghouta, are considered a continuation of the relentless and unabated march of struggle started by the heroes of national independence who fought the Ottoman and French occupiers and offered great sacrifices and forced them out of their homeland. The steadfastness of Syrians today was inspired by the legacy of the heroes who achieved independence. The heroic deeds and valiant acts of Yousef al-Azmeh, Sheikh Saleh al-Ali, Sultan Basha al-Atrash and others have been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the Syrian people and army in their battle against Takfiri terrorism and its sponsors. The Syrian Army and the allied forces are cracking down on terrorist organizations in all Syrian cities in defense of the homeland and the values of justice and freedom, and to ward off extremism and subversive takfiri ideas. The heroes of the Syrian Arab Army are now following in the footsteps of the legacy of their forefathers who achieved independence in clearing every inch of the homeland of the terrorism that has been exported to Syria form over 83 states with the aim of destroying the country and creating sectarian war among Syrian people to facilitate the passing of the Zionist project against Syria an the Arab region as a whole.

As the Syrian people celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the Independence Day, they are more determined to step up their struggle against takfiri terrorism and its supporters. This year's celebrations coincided with landslide victories realized by the heroes of the Syrian Arab army against al-Nosra and ISIS terrorists in different Syrian areas, the most recent of which was the liberation of the eastern Ghouta and uprooting the terrorist organizations stationed there for six years.
