Wow…someone has figured it out. You don’t help the economy when everyone is off on a holiday. 
 

However, it seems this law has been sent to the next session because of the upcoming holiday. 

 

As always, thanks for the hard work @yota691!

They love holiday, don't they. Nothing new to iraqi. It isn't surprising, is it. Don't be surprised if there are still more holidays coming up soon until the rest of the year.
