Coordination framework: The new government will be resolved within the next two days

 

 2022-02-12 07:12

 

Shafaq News/ The coordination framework, which brings together the Shiite political forces, confirmed today, Saturday, that the next two days will be decisive for the positions of the political forces regarding the formation of the largest bloc and the new Iraqi government.

 

The leader in the framework, Ali Al-Fatlawi, told Shafaq News Agency, "The next two days are decisive for the positions of the political forces regarding the formation of the largest bloc and the new government, and it will reveal the position of who will be in the opposition and who will be in the government, or everyone is in the government."

 

Al-Fatlawi indicated that "important dialogues will start in the coming hours, and these dialogues and negotiations will decide the positions of the political forces," explaining that "the results of these dialogues will be the decisive factor in the political forces going to the opposition or being part of the new government."

 

Al-Fatlawi stressed, "The coordinating framework is still insisting on the entry of all its forces into the next government, and otherwise all the framework's forces will be in the opposition, and this decision will never be reversed."

 

And on Wednesday (February 9), the coordination framework, which includes all Shiite political forces with the exception of the Sadrist bloc, presented an initiative to end the political blockage in Iraq.

 

It is not the "first" political initiative, but was preceded by an initiative by Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani, which was put forward by Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani and Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi during their visit to the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr in al-Hananah last week.

 

Al-Sadr seeks to form a national majority government by excluding some of the forces with which he disagrees, including the State of Law coalition led by former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, while Shiite forces affiliated with the coordination framework insist on forming a consensus government in which all political forces participate, similar to the scenario of forming previous governments.

 

Earlier today, the leader of the National Coalition, head of the Civil National Front, Iyad Allawi, warned against forming an "powerless" Iraqi government because of political differences, noting that "Iraq has become a laughingstock to the world."

Earth News/ The leader of the State of Law coalition, Haider al-Lami, revealed today, Sunday, the continuation of talks with the Sadrist movement on forming the new government.
Al-Lami said, in an interview with Earth News, that "the coordination framework is still working on urging steps to unify the ranks of the Shiite house."

Al-Lami pointed out that "the recent coordination framework initiative confirms their full commitment to a unified doctrine," adding, "We called the Sadrist movement in particular and all political blocs to make the political process monolithic given the great challenges that Iraq experienced in the past three years, as well as the four years." coming.”

The exclusion of Zebari from the presidential candidacy .. New factors for the agreement of the two Kurdish parties and the joining of the Union to the Sadr circle

2022-02-13

Yes Iraq: Baghdad

 

Today, Sunday, the Federal Court ended the controversy over the political dimensions related to the only candidate of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, as it recognized the illegality of the House of Representatives’ acceptance of Hoshyar Zebari’s nomination for the presidency, which would clear the nomination for the Patriotic Union candidate Barham Salih, as well as 23 other names.

Zebari described the court's decision as "injustice," while noting that "there are parties that do not want there to be a strong president for Iraq."

Zebari added in a speech he delivered during a press conference, "We respect the decision of the judiciary, and it is my right as an Iraqi citizen to say that there is injustice," noting that "the laws and conditions required for the presidency of the republic were before our eyes, and we are not strangers to the political process."

 

He continued, "When we were nominated to the presidency, we fulfilled all the conditions and we have official books from the bodies that approved our candidacy," explaining that "there are four representatives who submitted the appeals: three of them are opponents of the National Union."

 

He stressed, "We closed all accusations, we have a great service to the country and we served it with all sincerity and good behavior," pointing out that "the decision of the Federal Court is politicized and it is my right as a citizen to nominate."

 

And while Zebari is considered the only candidate for the Kurdistan Democratic Party for the presidency, which is the party that is one of the three big parties represented by the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Sadrist bloc and progress, and while the position of the presidency of the parliament has been resolved to progress, the presidency of the republic went from the Kurdistan Democratic Party, especially since Zebari is the only candidate for the Democrat, and on On this basis, it is likely that an agreement will be reached between the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party on a new name.

While political circles suggest that al-Sadr has a desire for the Patriotic Union to join the Kurdistan Democratic Party in their alliance with al-Sadr, the strengths and weaknesses between the two Kurdish parties will push the two parties to integrate with each other, as the Kurdistan Democratic Party owns a large number of seats, in return it does not have a candidate for the presidency, while the Patriotic Union owns Fewer seats while having a presidential candidate, Barham Salih.

Political observers believe that the Patriotic Union will abandon its candidate and integrate with the Kurdistan Democratic Party, which does not have an explicit candidate to which it belongs. Therefore, a new candidate will be selected from among the 25 names, so that the Union will join the Sadr, Democratic Alliance and the Alliance of Sovereignty (Progress + Resolve).

Al-Kazemi is trying, through his marathon of his meetings with the political forces, to renew his return to the position of prime minister for the second term.
