The Iraqi Elections were held on Oct 10, 2021 and still 3 1/2 months later they still haven’t finalised the Government. They certainly are not in the habit of rushing things. 

[3 bucks new rv rate]

may be they still negotiate for a power sharing and money sharing among each other. if a power sharing and a money sharing are not equally fair among each other, then they will delay and delay again to form the official new government. and i guess that works also when electing for official new PM cause we still don't know who the official new PM is until right now.

A member of the House of Representatives from the Sadiqoun bloc, Ali al-Jamali, said in an interview with the official newspaper, "The coordinating framework represented by its leaders and members respects the decision issued by the Federal Court regarding the validity of what happened in the first session, but at the same time there are understandings and meetings that are in full swing to get out." With a result that serves the political process and the reality of the country, which does not need rivalries.”

He added that "there are some media statements issued by people who are not authorized to do so, about what the framework will do during the next stage and what it will do if it is in this place or that," noting that "the framework made sacrifices to preserve the unity of the country and its lands, and this is enough to be the first defenders." about the political process and preserving its unity.

In turn, Professor of Political Science Essam Al-Faili said: "The features of forming a national majority government have become clear, and the Sadrist bloc and the alliance of resolve and progress and the Kurdistan Democratic Party are the closest to resolving their choices, whether in the presidency or the ministers."

Al-Faili added, according to the newspaper, that "the other parties who were saying that it was the largest bloc seemed completely inaccurate, because just submitting their appeal to this bloc means that they realize that the other parties have the largest number."

 

He continued, "The political forces in the coordinating framework have two options (the best of them is bitter), either to go to the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr and tear up the coordinating framework, or to boycott and oppose."

For his part, member of the framework Aref Al-Hamami said: “Until these hours, we believe that negotiations with the Sadrist movement have failed. As for the coming hours, their features have not yet been defined and the general position on them is not known, but the negotiations reached a dead end and now the time for initiatives has begun, but negotiations are with the current.” It failed," noting that "things are heading for complexity, and the coordinating framework is coherent and will not move towards a solution or split."

He added, "There is an initiative from the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, to invite the head of the Fatah Alliance Hadi al-Amiri to visit him in al-Hanana, and if these initiatives also fail, then the coordinating framework has two paths, either the political boycott or the opposition."

He continued, "If the coordinating framework takes its position in the boycott, he will not return from it because he wants everyone to participate in a consensual government, and what is meant is that the prime minister is chosen by consensus between the coordinating framework and the Sadrist bloc," noting that "the Sadrist bloc agreed to enter the entire coordinating framework on the condition that it chooses the prime minister, This was rejected by the coordination framework with its entirety of 78 deputies.

And Al-Hamami said that "the issue of the largest bloc is still not resolved, and the coordination framework works to activate the largest blocking third that disrupts the vote on the President of the Republic, and here the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and some Kurdish forces will enter with it, bringing the number between 120 and 125 deputies."

He stressed that "the danger is if the coordinating framework takes a decision to move towards the boycott, and the coordinating framework will not bear the responsibility for what will result from that, but will bear the consequences of plans and implemented to exclude and isolate the coordinating framework, although the forces involved in it constitute the majority of the Shiite component."

He continued, "The president of the republic may be chosen without the approval of the coordinating framework, however, what concerns us most is the choice of the prime minister," noting that "the coordinating framework has not yet decided on attending the next parliament session, and it has not yet been announced and no position has been taken on it."

The coordination framework responds to Al-Sadr: Exclusion pushes us to the opposition or the government boycott

 

 2022-01-26 01:56

 

Shafaq News/ The coordination framework, which brings together the Shiite forces, affirmed on Wednesday that the exclusion from forming the Iraqi government will push them to the opposition or the government boycott.

In a statement to the framework received by Shafaq News Agency, "the leaders of the coordination framework met and discussed the latest developments in the political process, the atmosphere and positions," noting that "the leaders of the framework confirmed their commitment to its project, which is the approach to participation in the management of the next phase to serve the country, not the approach of exclusion that inflicted a heavy price on the people and the country at the time of the tomb.

The statement added, "The framework is keen to spare the country more problems and crises, and to move towards serving the citizens, the most important of which is agreeing on a prime minister who is able to cross the stage according to the approved contexts and form the government according to the electoral merits of all those who wish to participate and are committed to national contributions."

He continued, "We still hope that the partners will respond to our project, as procrastination will pay Iraq its bill, especially with the security, economic and administrative risks and challenges that surround Iraq and the entire region."

The coordination framework pointed out, according to the statement, that "respect for diversity and protection of components in Iraq is essential to the success of the country and the integrity of the relationship between its people, and that it is not correct in any case to weaken one component at the expense of another, because this is an allegation of unfairness and injustice that consequently leads to more Instability".

And he stated that "the peaceful transfer of power and political pluralism should rule in all the coming stages," stressing that "the framework forces are not against the principle of the national majority, which is a respectable demand, and many political forces have called for it and still do, but this majority should not be on single component account.

The coordination framework reiterated its assertion that "the continuation of the exclusionary approach means pushing the entities that received the majority of citizens' votes in the last elections collectively to go to the opposition or boycott."

 

Attempts to enter parties from the coordination framework in a national majority government that Muqtada al-Sadr is confronting, jointly with the Kurdistan Democratic Party, and the alliance of those who advanced headed by Muhammad al-Halbousi, and Azm headed by Khamis al-Khanjar, faltered.

This was confirmed by al-Sadr, when he expressly rejected the participation of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, in the government of the national majority that he seeks to form.

Al-Sadr said in a televised speech, followed by Shafak News Agency, "I invited Hadi Al-Amiri, Qais Al-Khazali and Faleh Al-Fayyad to participate in the majority government, provided that Al-Maliki did not participate, but they refused to do so," adding, "The coordinating framework forces mortgaged Al-Maliki's participation by her coming to Al-Hananah and we told them: Your comfort."

Iraq.. Confirmation of the legitimacy of Parliament Speaker paves the way for the government

Posted 39 seconds ago

news source /news

 

The Iraqi parliament elections took place last October

Baghdad (Sky News Arabia) - As was widely expected, the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq decided, on Tuesday, to dismiss the challenge to the constitutionality of the first session of the new Iraqi parliament, in a step that would strengthen the position of the poles of the tripartite agreement in the country and weigh the option to proceed with the formation of A national majority government, according to what the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, confirmed, after the court's decision.

 

Al-Sadr expressed, in a tweet on "Twitter", that he welcomed the judiciary's decision to establish the legitimacy of the first parliament session, saying, "We are proceeding with the formation of a national majority government."

 

The official Iraqi News Agency stated that the Federal Court decided to reject the challenge to the constitutionality of the first session of Parliament, which alleged that there were violations of the constitution in the session.

 

She added that MP Khaled Al-Daraji presiding over the first parliament session does not contradict the provisions of the constitution, and the court decided to cancel the state order for the temporary suspension of the Presidency of the Parliament.

 

To comment on the post-binding Federal Court decision, and its effects and repercussions on the shape and nature of the upcoming course of events, Raed Al-Azzawi, head of the Al-Amsar Center for Strategic Studies, said in an interview with Sky News Arabia, “The decision is self-evident and completely expected.”

 

legal safety

 

Al-Azzawi added that the first session was sound and legal in terms of form and content, “The appeals and skeptical defenses submitted to the Federal Court were not valid to the extent that the court would be persuaded and adopted, and thus the process will continue in accordance with the constitutional procedures and stations, to complete the rest of the entitlements related to the election of the President of the Republic and from Then choose the prime minister.

 

Al-Azzawi, a professor of international relations at the American University in Cairo, adds, "The constitutional period for electing the president of the republic ends on February 9, and perhaps the Kurds will agree on a unified vision and one candidate for the presidency of Iraq, as it is their share."

 

And the researcher added, “In my opinion, the differences between the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan will end. Everyone is; I mean here specifically the Sadrist movement and the Sunnis, they do not want the Kurds to fall into the traps of incompatibility and division among themselves, but rather that they agree and that the new Iraqi president be chosen in a way that satisfies the various parties.

 

And then we will go to the most important step, which is choosing the prime minister, and it is clear here that the coordinating framework, if it remains on its current position, will lose the opportunity to participate in choosing the prime minister, an opportunity that Al-Sadr presented more than once in an attempt to bored the Shiite house, but the framework eludes and rejects, and in general It is in everyone’s interest that things do not go into a dead end with regard to the consensus between the various political books, especially the Shiite bloc.”

 

And he continued, "But it seems that things are heading in light of the frameworks' insistence on not participating, towards the Sadrists and the Alliance of Progress of resolve, and the Kurds in choosing the next prime minister, assigning a personality acceptable from all sides, and forming a government based on the principle of preserving the homeland and citizenship, away from regional and internal conflicts." .

 

Calculations and reconciliations

 

For his part, writer and journalist, Maher Al-Hamdani, said in an interview with "Sky News Arabia" that "the completion of the first step in the path of electing the three presidencies, which is choosing the speaker of parliament, is the easiest and it was not a surprise, as the Sunni component that deserves the position, He came by consensus on one name and with one bloc, and it was easy for the Shiites and Kurds to vote for him with ease.

 

Al-Hamdani said that “there are two major battles, namely the Kurdish battle over the presidential candidate, and the Shiite battle over the prime ministerial candidate, wondering, “Can the Kurds present one candidate without entering into disputes between the two main parties, the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, and will we witness the opposite of that, the contract being broken? The unwritten between the two parties, which has become a custom, stipulates that the Union obtain the presidency of the republic in Baghdad, in exchange for the Kurdistan Democratic Party taking over the presidency of the Kurdistan region in Erbil?

 

And the Iraqi writer and journalist continues, “This time, the choice of the president of the republic will cast a direct and thick shadow over the choice of the prime minister and its disclosure. .

 

He expected the establishment of a new political equation for the first time in Iraq, which is the equation of the majority government, and we will witness the birth of a real opposition within Parliament formed by the coordination framework in cooperation with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, “and some different Sunni forces with the Alliance of Progress Azm, perhaps led by Mahmoud al-Mashhadani and his allies.”

{Politics: Al Furat News} The representative of the Azm Alliance, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, warned against the lack of agreement on the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement and its impact on the shape of the next government.

 

Mashhadani said; For the program “Al-Mastra” broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel tonight: “A risk on the part of the Sadrist movement to bear the next stage alone. Problems".
He added, "Iraq is currently not prepared for the national majority, and if the government is built weak, we will be in trouble. Therefore, the necessity of agreement between the Shiite blocs in the form of the next government," adding, "Iraq does not have a culture of opposition, and therefore whoever is forced into the opposition will have a negative reaction towards Parliament and the government." .
Al-Mashhadani stressed, "The need for Parliament to support the government, because that means support for the people, and if there is a partial participation with the approval of the remaining parties, it is okay and they will be positive; but if the framework refuses to participate in the government, it will produce negative opposition."
He went on to say, "I think for a few hours, there is an intention for the framework and the current to agree to enter Parliament unified," explaining that "the process of producing the government without the framework's forces will be very difficult unless it is ruled on clear terms and the formation of a weak government will negatively affect the liberated areas."
Al-Mashhadani pointed out, “The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, did not risk weakening the Shiite house, and the Federal Court and the elections produced an electoral process, and now 329 deputies represent the popular will of these. If they do not move after forming the government to the legitimacy of production, the Iraqi street will not remain silent after 6 months and the 2019 scenario will be repeated.” .
He concluded, "The success of the next government will depend on the first year of its life." 
The accusation of the Sunnis of striking Al-Halbousi’s house is fabricated, as we do not have the ability to possess missiles, and these weapons are available to specific groups.”
Al-Mashhadani continued, “We agreed in the beginning to form one negotiating delegation of determination and progress. Only the name has changed, and I am currently determined and we have a project to integrate the rest of the Sunni component.” He  
pointed out that “the distribution of ministerial portfolios will be according to the electoral benefits and the number of seats; But the Speaker of Parliament is supposed to include everyone, especially the Sunni component.”
With regard to legislating suspended laws, al-Mashhadani clarified, “Suspended laws such as the Union, Oil and Gas Law, State Administration, Parliament, Article 140, and committees to review the constitution can only be legislated with the consensus of everyone, each party has its own agenda.” .
Al-Mashhadani added, "All the laws sent by the government were legislated by Parliament, but the government was preoccupied with early elections and did not send proposals for new laws to Parliament."
Regarding the Alliance of Progress and Resolve, al-Mashhadani said, "The alliance of al-Halbousi and al-Khanjar squeezed the strength of the Sunni house and its continuation depends on its strength, and all the Sunni Arabs are afraid of the incompatibility of the framework and the Sadrist movement. As for the Kurdish house, it is compatible with all agendas except for the dispute over the President of the Republic, which is the right of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Democratic Party. He took over all government positions in the Kurdistan region.
Al-Mashhadani concluded, "If the Shiite position is analyzed with the presence of Mr. Al-Sadr in Baghdad, the demands of the Patriotic Union will recover, and in the event that the framework agrees with the current, Mustafa Al-Kazemi and Barham Salih will be an outcome, as was done with Al-Halbousi and Khamis Al-Khanjar, who will be nominated as Vice President of the Republic according to the merit."
