And it considered that "launching it to the media prematurely is a largely irresponsible act, and this may precede the ability of ministers to comment impartially on the draft budget and amend it in a special budget session scheduled to be held next Saturday", calling for "not to pay attention to the exciting statements related to the budget that It may arise within the next two days. ”
