"The political blocs concerned with the selection of candidates for the Presidency of the Parliament in order to begin to resolve the positions of the President of the Republic and the ministers because the general situation in the country does not tolerate escalation, especially with the unrest that took place in the province of Basra.  Zinni stressed the need to move away from the political blocs partisan and factional interests and give priority to the public interest of the country, calling on the blocs to resolve their candidates during the next two days.  In turn, a member of the construction coalition, Mansour al-Maraid, told the "morning" that the coalition resolved its candidate for the current member of the House of Representatives for the province of Anbar Mohammed Halbusi and submit it during Saturday's session to vote to be the next parliament speaker, describing what is happening in the Sunni House of divisions On this post as "the state of health". Al-Maraid said that the submission of 9 candidates themselves to fill this position is very good and gets for the first time in parliament, after three sessions of consensus on one candidate and imposed on the political blocs to vote on him to be president of the legislative authority.  Al-Maraid pointed out that the current stage witnessed the intervention of the Sunni forces in choosing an appropriate figure for the prime minister indirectly, after the divisions generated two coalitions in which the parties of all components, explaining that the large blocs seek to satisfy the small blocs by nominating moderate personalities that can not be differed.  He pointed out that the existence of two major alliances, "reform" and "construction" was born difficulties, the first was delaying the naming of the Speaker of Parliament and his deputies in the first session, but the process will be easy during the next sessions. Continuing alliances For his part, a member of the negotiating delegation of the wisdom movement, Abdullah al-Zaidi, that the dialogues between all parties exist so far, stressing the existence of an opinion within the reform alliance sees the accession of the Fatah bloc to this alliance essential to achieve a balance that meets the ambition of the Iraqi people and voters and the stability of the country generally.  Al-Zaidi said in an interview with Al-Sabah that the presidency of the House of Representatives should be resolved on Saturday and send a message of reassurance to the people that the political forces have a sensitivity to the situation of the street and that there are danger looms and the situation of Basra could be the volcano that burns the political situation in the country.  For his part, said MP Nayef al-Shammari, that the large number of candidates, who numbered 9 so far after the nomination of Khalid al-Obeidi raises many problems because the selection is   difficult. Al-Shammari told Al-Sabah: "The leaders of the blocs are in front of a historic and national responsibility and they have to put the interest of the Iraqi citizen before their eyes, because what the provinces suffer all belongs to everyone so they have to sit around the dialogue table and resolve the situation," noting that the problem is not a water problem. Political blocs have to agree to resolve the Presidency of Parliament.  Shammari warned that if things are not settled during the next Saturday we will enter into constitutional and legal forms and the leaders of the blocks to show the people their responsibilities, noting that the citizen suffers from lack of services and drinking water. Respect for the will of the partners while drawing a member of the House of Representatives of the coalition of forces affiliated to the construction coalition, Laith Dulaimi, to resolve the candidate of the President of the Parliament in agreement with all political blocs.
