Members of Iraq's ruling coalition threaten to withdraw support for Abadi's reforms

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - More than 60 members of Iraq's ruling coalition will seek to withdraw parliamentary support for Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's reforms if he does not respond within 72 hours to their demands for wider consultation, parliamentarians said. Growing political tensions could undermine efforts to tackle an economic crisis and form a united front in the war against Islamic State militants, who pose the biggest security threat to Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.

 

Members of the State of Law coalition delivered a letter to Abadi on Tuesday urging him to consult more widely before ordering reforms.

A meeting with the premier scheduled for Wednesday night was canceled after lawmakers decided to wait for a written response from Abadi, they told Reuters. "If we do not get a written answer, the next step will be going to parliament and pushing for a decision to withdraw the authorization for reforms from Prime Minister Abadi," said one lawmakers from the bloc, who declined to be named.

This sounds a bit ominous

Empty threats from SLC, again.

 

Shame they're the majority party, that means we'll never fully rid parliament and Iraq of their greedy, selfish, and destructive influences.

An earlier news article within the past week mentioned 70 signatures to remove Abadi. Looks like the "Remove Abadi" parliamentarian crowd is loosing ground.
