like organizations opposed to the decision of the power
concerned and not partner of it.
Therefore what is going on in Libya is categorically different
from what is taking place in these countries, since undivided
power belongs to the people of the basic people's congresses
made up of citizens who, by virtue of their professions or crafts,
are but members of their syndicates. Thus the syndicate and the
people's congress are formed into the same fabric and revolve in
the same orbit that is of the people's power. The syndicate then is
in partnership rather than in opposition. Syndicate secretaries are
members of people's congresses that are not cardinal which
collect and formulate decisions of basic congresses, and those
secretaries-general of syndicates and federations at the level of
the Great Jamhirya are members of the People's General
Conference where decisions of people's congresses are
assembled and drafted. Hence syndicates, truly speaking, forge
as the second springboard of the power of the people.
