<h1>Opposition leader criticizes ruling party for weak protection of nationals abroad and allowing arbitrary tariff and visa hikes</h1> An opposition leader accused the ruling party of failing to safeguard national interests by permitting arbitrary tariffs and visa fees and of neglecting protection of nationals abroad, framing the criticisms as political commentary on foreign policy and consular protection. The statements respond to a foreign executive proclamation raising H-1B visa fees, which alters a third-country immigration regime and may have extraterritorial effects on migrant workers without creating direct domestic legal claims. The remarks constitute political speech; any legal issues would depend on governmental or diplomatic responses rather than on private legal remedies.
