Abdul Mahdi: We do not want these demonstrations but victory

Tuesday, November 12, 2019 111

 

Baghdad / morning 

 

 

Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi said that the government, in the opinion of the people and its will, reiterated its confidence that victory would be an ally of the major reform movement carried out by our people in their demonstrations and that the government does not want these demonstrations only to emerge victorious, calling on everyone to invest "precious opportunity" as I described The religious authority to achieve the achievements of reform, while revealing at the same time dozens of obstacles and obstacles that faced the government since its formation. 

Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said in his speech during the Council of Ministers meeting on Tuesday: “Iraqi flags have risen on civilian and military vehicles as a tribute to the 40th anniversary of the outbreak of protests and large demonstrations and the call for reform that has been adopted as an important event and a valuable opportunity to bring about reforms in accumulated cases. For a long period of time in nested files. ”

He added, “There is no doubt that many victims of our children were dear and gallen, which is sad and unfortunate, and we have formed an investigative committee to determine the responsibilities, and these victims fell from the demonstrators and the security forces,” continued: “Today, 40 days after the events, We do not deny that there is a great movement and momentum generated in the country that has not only moved the surface of things, but also the depth of them, which is important, and the proof of the health and vitality of our people and our youth and that they are actually carrying the future. Nation and believe that this movement is an important movement h The negatives, but the great positives erase the negatives, and negatives can be overcome and stay within the limits of the positives and deal with this event as a major reform movement, and to be called what you want (youth revolution) or (precious opportunity) as described by the Supreme Religious Reference, or (comprehensive reform movement ), All these things and the names are correct. ”

 

Accumulation of corruption

The Prime Minister pointed out what was put forward in the previous meeting of the Council of Ministers, that "the depth of this movement and its inside many complexities and many files accumulated since long periods .. Corruption - for example - has not accumulated during the past ten months, corruption is an old subject, since the beginning The siege in 1990 and before, and corruption occurs when the system is weakened, the weaker the system is the movement is unclear and obstructed or deviant increased corruption, he added, "Iraq was not - at least in the sixties and early seventies - corruption is widespread, because in In fact, there were clear contexts Advanced within the countries of the region in this area. "

He added, “As we have mentioned, corruption has accumulated over decades and years, and accumulated because of the emergence of oil wealth and dependence on them and weakening the private sector and weakening the real activities. Political, societal forces, even foreign or regional formations, everyone knows the size of the state in Iraq and trying to capture the largest share of this (cake).

He continued: “Therefore, corruption is a fundamental file that must be addressed and stand up to it. We believe that we need a large internal reform movement to fill all the outlets of corruption, in the sense of the context of the verse (God does not change what people do to change what they themselves). Every cycle of corruption increases. ”

Abdul Mahdi stressed that “holding the government of a year old did not exceed the responsibility for this is an exaggeration and exaggeration. He succeeded or failed, stressing that "there are real reforms in the current state to be pursued."

 

Movement demands

The Prime Minister stressed that “in this protest movement witnessed in the country, there is a wide demand movement, there is a movement related to poverty, a movement related to employment and job creation, and another related to the provision of basic services of water, electricity and others, and we believe that this constitutes the largest body of the protest movement, This is the responsibility of the current government and the previous governments are also responsible for it. High unemployment rates are cumulative and do not occur within a year, and the lack of services is a long cumulative issue, ”he said. We will see this as a sign of success We managed to increase the production and distribution rates of electricity and processing hours - although not perfect - but they are much higher than before, and we have been able to cross an important stage. ”

“Was the first year of the government comfortable ?! Is the government was an absolute hand to behave better? Did we have budgets as we had in the past from explosive budgets in certain periods? On the contrary, the Prime Minister listed the obstacles that his government has faced since its inception. , all disrupts the work of the government. "

`` We worked on a budget designed in 2018, not working for 2019.All budget items are filled with time bombs, gaps, bottlenecks and inaccurate payment methods with many burdens, so when this government demands something, we should put the dots on the letters to clarify the powers that It was given, for example, that only from unpaid advances from 2014 to 2018 more than 13 trillion Iraqi dinars, we have increased the treasury resources and did not decline in them, and the Central Bank reserves rose, and economic activity increased.

Abdul-Mahdi said, “Many demonstrations were held months ago, and we were content and we respond to their demands and meet various segments of society and adopt solutions. We have a problem, but in the current crisis, it is not related to the methods and services, if it were related to them would have been easy, because it was accompanied by the entry of very few saboteurs who tried from the beginning to clash with the security forces, despite the fact that the investigation committee acknowledged that There is the excessive use of force, but must see cases not just one. "

 

The current crisis

He added, “Before the current crisis, what was said in the communication sites (the regime should be overthrown) and (Shia-Shia conflict), the main thesis was to enter into a Shia-Shia conflict and that it became inevitable and there were calls for it, as there are things We are sure that we need constitutional amendments, and certainly we need to amend the electoral system law, which we warned of earlier and we put several amendments to it and sent to the House of Representatives, which depends on the same thing that we approve today and we negotiated for with the Presidency to reach An appropriate version of the election law, which we put forward more than 9 years ago Months ago, an amendment that speaks of the loudest voices and multiple units, and we have previously sent to the House of Representatives and not read there, so it is not right to bounce back on the government only, "but," Yes, the government is responsible, but others are also responsible, everyone is responsible. They are also on the street. ”

Abdul-Mahdi said: "Now that we are trying to restore order to the right paths, there are those who do not see the importance of imposing order," he added, "Yes, the demonstration is right, and we do not want these demonstrations only to emerge victorious, which is victorious as mentioned in all our statements, which is victorious Because it has shaken society, man, responsible, legislation and everything in this country, and we believe that we must invest this precious opportunity, as mentioned by the reference, very seriously and sincerely and examine all its demands, and bow before our people and bow before our youth on this precious opportunity given to all (government, parliament) Political forces, bodies) to be able to overcome many obstacles Precedent ".

 

Pretending law

The Prime Minister commented on the statements and positions of some countries regarding what is happening in Iraq at the moment, and said: “Some countries, because of the painful images that are broadcast from Iraq, are publishing official and unofficial statements on dealing with demonstrations and freedoms. There are a few countries, including Iraq, where this number of satellite channels and means of expression from the far right to the left are known. These freedoms are known and have not stopped. Despite some abuses, which are also happening in other countries, the conduct of the state has always been Legally, we authorize and protect demonstrations, and there is no problem It is only those who are exposed to the armed forces, when a group seeks to enter a military headquarters or bypassing a security barrier using non-peaceful means that have been resisted - specifically since 25 October - by means away from the use of live ammunition. .

He added, "When we now want to apply the law in force for demonstrations in Iraq, which is issued by the Coalition Authority 19 with its amendments, which started from countries that recognize human rights and organized according to the contexts in which they operate in their countries." And the security forces .. And we return to the law of demonstrating what it says (prohibited from any person, group or organization to organize a march, gathering or meeting only with the license of the licensing authority - which later became the Ministry of Interior under the order 100 - as well as only if it is limited to the numbers determined by the licensing authority that Will not obstruct public life, legally prohibits any gathering or assembly Hold on roads or public streets and public places ", and pointed out that" all within the law, we wanted to apply, what would you say international centers!

Abdul Mahdi listed a number of prohibitions that the law prohibits from using in demonstrations, noting that "the government does not apply many of the restrictive paragraphs of the demonstrators in the law, because the granting of freedom to our people gives us views and ideas that shake society and corrupt structure we can use to repair the situation of our country." "The people and the security forces are not parties, they are one," he stressed. "The people's mistrust of the government did not come within months, but came through the accumulation of an incorrect system, and we have come to remedy it, and this government was formed because the road has become deadlocked before others turned to this government." As a settlement government and h Despite the downfall, obstruction and skepticism that this government has faced since the first week, this government is at the opinion and the will of its people, and not outside the will of the House of Representatives if it wishes to do whatever it wants. We continue to perform our duties despite the pressures. This movement is registered as one of the most important movements Great. ”
