On 31 August, Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) carried a Maysan contracts representative saying forthcoming demonstrations would become sit-ins until contract workers received permanent appointment and advising the government not to test them. Subsequent captions described Finance Ministry promises as verbal rather than official, questioned whether previous-government signatures were merely “ink on paper,” and claimed that official documents showed approval for permanent appointments in the 2026 budget. Only captions and silent video frames were available, so the alleged documents and any speech beyond the captions were not assessed.
