It is reported that there have been serious divisions in the recently formed Free People’s Alliance. A senior member of the alliance said that this situation has arisen due to the disagreement between its partner parties on a number of issues including the privatization of state enterprises. Due to that situation, it is reported that the partner parties of the Free People’s Alliance have decided to celebrate May Day separately instead of celebrating it on one platform.
