{Policy: Al Furat News} The National Approach bloc announced a boycott of the voting session on the 2021 budget, to be held at exactly three o'clock this afternoon, Sunday.

 

 The bloc stated, in a statement received {Al Furat News} a copy of it, "We draw the attention of Parliament to take into account the following remarks: -
1. We demand that detailed tables of expenditures be distributed to all ministries and agencies not associated with a ministry and the various state institutions attached to the budget law for the year 2021, because this reflects the principle of transparency and facilitates Control over the safety and realism of spending
2. We demand that the exchange rate of the dollar be restored to its previous level in order to avoid severe economic and social damage
3. We demand that Article (11) include the following text (The region is obligated to deliver (460) thousand barrels in full and all that is in excess to a company ( Sumo) and all its non-oil revenues to the public treasury .. and in the event that it refuses to do so, no dues are paid to the region. The violator bears the legal responsibility for that.
4- We demand the abolition of Article (38) which permits the privatization of all productive and service sectors of the state and allows the participation of investors and contractors in the ownership of oil and gas fields, power stations, Iraqi Airways aircraft and government banks.
5- We demand the abolition of the two articles (42 and 41) that allow the sale of state-owned agricultural lands to those who have the right to dispose of a value much less than its real value and will create widespread social conflicts.
6- We demand the abolition of Article (47) which permits the sale of the state’s financial assets, including industrial, infrastructure, and others.
7- We demand the cancellation of new foreign loans, as they have far-reaching consequences for the country's sovereignty and economy.
8- We refuse to authorize the Minister of Finance to issue sovereign guarantees.
9- We reject the article that proposes that the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Defense contract with private sector companies to run newly constructed hospitals.
10- We reject the additive article that requires the Ministry of Education to invite the private sector to implement printing of textbooks, and we suggest restricting it to public state companies only.
11- We reject the new article that allows governorates to contract with developers because they will witness secondary speculation on the one hand, and through these projects it is intended to charge the citizen the cost of building the infrastructure of health services, electricity, water and sewage streams to increase the profits of the developers (investors)!
12- We warn against adding any article to the budget that includes the dead ISIS terrorist with the rights of the Martyrs Institution Law, and we consider this a weakening of the efforts and sacrifices in the fight against blind terrorism.

If the argument is whether the rate should be 1190 rather than 1460 it's the most pathetic place to be.

I don’t really understand why these guys don’t take the billions of Dinar they hold and just call it a day. Let it revalue and be set for generations. When is it enough??? They clearly don’t have a care in the world for the people of their country.

What time is it in Baghdad, is it 7 pm yet...?

[GreedyDinar07]

I don't think they have any intentions of passing the budget anytime SOON! I don't know what their intentions are of stalling the budget but if it has anything to do with the exchange rate they can forget. The CBI recently released an article stating only the CBI has the decision EXCLUSIVLEY to adjust the exchange rate. I pay attention to positive things happening like the massive port being built, the scheduled completion of the New CBI, the cancellation of the auctions, the opening 0f over 100 factories etc. which should lead them to an open market. If you follow what the GOI does you will be discouraged. I am not expecting a RV in the coming days, that's just my opinion. Go Iraq Go RV!!

When it is 7 pm in Iraq it will be 11 am here in Minnesota. So nope it's not 7 there yet.  It's only 6:18 pm there.  Dont worry it will be postponed again, well that's what they are good at (postponing things)

hopefully this time they postpone the postponement and go ahead and vote

[horsesoldier]

Okay, I’ll chime in.... I demand that everyone stop demanding ( or suggesting ) that their demands take precedence or are more important over perceived lesser demands made by other self important people who have their own demands, wherein those demanding their demands appear to be more important demands than those whose demands were made prior to those who came late to the party with their demands which in fact may or may not be more or less demanding-it’s stressful & well, demanding. 
 

Carry on .... ( I think that’s a pretty decent run on sentence for not even having my first cup O coffee )

 

While I’m at it.... I demand the Military arrest every last government obstructionist standing in the way of Iraq’s future: I think we all know & understand what needs to happen next.

Lets just say we all ride VERY HAPPILY off into the sunset, uh faster than “soon”

Abu Al-Joun pointed out that "the situation is in front of three options. Either vote on some of the budget articles today and leave the rest until another day until it is agreed upon, or put more than one proposal for each controversial article and leave the choice to parliament members, or postpone all the budget to another day, which is the closest option." According to the current data. "
