As the countdown to holding them begins.. the elections.. markets stability and business revival

Sunday 03 October 2021 315

 

 Baghdad: Farah Al-Khafaf 

With the start of the countdown to holding the early parliamentary elections on the 10th of this month, millions of dinars, and perhaps billions, contributed to reviving the pockets of many earners and owners of crafts and private businesses. Although the electoral race is witnessing a competition between the candidates, due to the new law, the Iraqi markets and economy have not been affected by this. Rather, the situation is considered stable compared to the past elections, which observers considered a “positive matter” calculated by the executive authorities. Financial expert Thamer Al-Azzawi told Al-Sabah: "The elections are awaited by thousands of profitable citizens and craftsmen, as their actions depend on electoral propaganda."

He added that "many printing houses, blacksmiths, electrical, textiles, food, truck drivers, taxis and others thrive during the electoral campaign period, especially since their numbers are large, and they spend the money that comes to them on other needs, and thus, significant amounts of money circulate in the market."

 

pump money

Al-Azzawi continued: “It is noticeable before these elections that the markets have not been negatively affected like the previous ones. Citizens do not feel fear of crises. The situation is stable, and the government, security forces and even the Commission are working according to a tight plan, which has resulted in the continued injection of funds and the conduct of things in a good and comfortable manner for all. sons of the people.”

Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi had confirmed that the government had fulfilled its pledges regarding the elections, and the commission was hosted several times for cabinet sessions, and all its needs were met, and all forms of support were provided to it, declaring his personal supervision over electoral security and not allowing any breach or transgression that could affect in the conduct of the electoral process or 

its results.

For his part, trade specialist Raed Al-Amiri told Al-Sabah: "The commercial movement of several commodities has rebounded before and during the election campaigns."

 

advertising industry 

He explained that "many commodities are included in the electoral campaign industry, and the demand for them has increased," noting that "the wholesale markets witnessed an increase in the demand for these commodities, yet they did not affect the prices of the goods required by citizens within their daily needs."

In the same context, Qassem al-Dulaimi, "Haddad," says, "Last month, he made good sums of money after doing dozens of electoral campaigns for candidates."

 

revenue doubled 

He added that he "waited patiently for the start of the election campaigns to revive his work," noting that "what he earned during the past two months is equivalent to what he earned in six months." Sajjad Ali, a calligrapher and owner of a shop to design advertisements, agrees with him: "Our work in the usual days depends on opening a shop here or there or a person who has died and other limited matters, but the election period is golden for us."

 

continuous work 

He continued, "I rejected many requests for designing and preparing advertisements, due to the lack of time and the increasing demand, so I worked during the past days for up to 16 hours a day to implement advertisements for candidates," noting that he "attracted five of his relatives to work with him to fulfill his obligations."

These days, the streets of Baghdad and the provinces abound in scenes of electoral propaganda and the distribution of cards encouraging the election of this candidate or that, or the distribution of food, drinks or gifts, which contributed to the employment of thousands of young men, boys and even the elderly. It is noteworthy that the Board of Commissioners issued a decision stipulating that six o'clock in the morning on Saturday, the ninth of this month, be the date of the electoral silence.

Sistaniism and the bet of change in Iraq

Monday 04 October 2021 217

 

Ibrahim Al-Abadi

No military coups are legitimate, and there is no return to the authority of the tyrannical individual or one party. This is the second reason that every Iraqi who yearns for constitutional and institutional reform should think about. Because of poor planning, management and implementation of public policies, weak authorities, and slack law enforcement authority, the state’s presence has practically declined, and people are yearning for an authority present with its laws and prestige and the imposition of policies of public interest.

The reference’s new statement on 9-29-2021 did not differ much from its statement that preceded the 2018 elections. This time it was more specific and accurate, urging the public to participate extensively with the aim of bringing about a change that would bring positive results to the country. The overwhelming majority is conditioned on broad participation and not on a massive boycott of the elections, on the pretext that there is no benefit from participation and on the pretext that expectations do not herald more than a slight change (or under control).

 The competing forces in the Shiite arena are most of them calculated and classified within the circle of groups (Shiite political Islam), and the difference of these groups from the Sunni political Islam groups is their having to derive the legitimacy of their work, formation and existence from religious references. The groups legitimately refer back to a reference to ensure that the policies, visions and ideas they promote are consistent with the opinions of this reference or that.

 The Shiite political forces found themselves surrounded by the statement of the reference, which calls on the public not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and not to vote in a way that brings back the same forces that took responsibility for failure and inefficiency. And that he is keen on the sovereignty, security, prosperity and interest of Iraq, and that the elections be far from political money and external influence, and these terms (conditions) put all forces to a serious test, so they competed in expressing obedience to the authority, presenting Iraq’s security interest and its internal and external sovereignty, and not being bound by influence External financial, intellectual, political or visionary.

This difficult test put the political forces and individuals in front of a (dangerous assignment), either to seek change, which is an unavoidable political and existential necessity, or to spin in the orbit of previous policies and visions, which are policies that have proven harmful and failed, which required early elections to change them and build a new political legitimacy for the government, authorities and policies Commit to serious change and reform or be a result of it.
