On December 30, the interim government announced that they initiated the process of preparing a declaration on the July uprising, based on a national consensus.

The declaration will be adopted to solidify the unity of the people forged through the July uprising, reflecting its anti-fascist spirit and the demand for state reform.

The draft will incorporate the views of all political parties and students, including those of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement that spearheaded the mass uprising.

The declaration will articulate the perspective of the July uprising, the foundation of unity and the aspirations of the people, the press wing noted.
