  Baghdad: Muhannad Abd al-Wahhab

Parliamentary and political circles are awaiting the launch of an initiative that may be "forced" to force the parties and opponents to agree to go to solve the intractable crisis and produce a government with an expanded majority that combines the proposals of the "triple alliance" and the "coordinating framework".

 

The representative of the Al-Fateh Alliance, which is part of the coordination framework, Rafiq Al-Salihi, said in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "Iraq has experienced the most difficult ordeals, and therefore there is great hope at this stage for the breakthrough of the crisis and the convergence of the views of the political blocs and independents from the positions of the coordination framework." 

He added, "The political understandings are progressing in the right direction, and most of the blocs of the Kurds and Sunnis expressed their satisfaction and acceptance of the initiatives put forward by the framework and the independents," noting that "the shift to a fundamental fulcrum by standing on the discussion of initiatives, brings the views closer between the political blocs and then go to government formation. 

For his part, the political analyst, Jassem Al-Moussawi, said in an interview with "Al-Sabah", that "in light of the election results and the complex and complex marathon and the escalating tension between the political forces, between two parties, one of them found a new philosophy in creating the management of the political system (the political or national majority) and the other goes. To consociationalism, and after the failure of all internal and external endeavors and influences, so it must be a new initiative. 

He explained that "the failure of all initiatives and influences leads us to expect to go to a coercive initiative based on the strength of numbers and influence, to force the other to deal with the political scene effectively and with tangible results on the ground." 

He added, "In light of these facts, we will go to a national majority government or we will go to political consensus, and if we do not go to one of the two options, the political situation in Iraq will continue to fluctuate between the caretaker government and the spark of conflict, a choice that will not be political as much as it is an insistence on fighting the battle." broken bone." 

Al-Moussawi continued: "The closest in the end is that a government with a broad majority is formed, meaning that it be consensual and a slender political majority."

Meanwhile, independent MP Haider Sheikhan expected not to go to the re-run of the elections after Al-Sadr's deadline expired and he went to the opposition for a month.

Sheikhan said in a press interview: "The political blockage will end with the assignment of Jaafar al-Sadr as prime minister for the upcoming elections." He added, "Things will not go to re-elections despite the differences between the blocs and the ongoing political crisis, as the scene will end with the assignment of Jaafar al-Sadr as prime minister."

Meanwhile, the representative of the State of Law coalition, inside Radi said: "All the stages of forming previous governments went through the same circumstances that we live in today in forming the new government, from exceeding the constitutional deadlines and pressures from here and there, but in the end we are obligated to form the government and go to legislating laws. that people have been waiting for so long.”

He added, "There is more than one initiative put forward on the political arena, whether by independent representatives or the coordination framework, which included many positive points on which we found interaction, acceptance and welcome," noting that "the framework is open to all political forces and we welcome all initiatives and believe in sitting at the table." A dialogue to solve problems, and we interacted positively with the initiative of the independents and accepted to discuss it fully.”

He added, "All political parties are required to be flexible in the dialogues to expedite the formation of a government capable of meeting the demands of the Iraqis and ending the state of obstruction that has greatly harmed the Iraqis and the political process."

Baghdad - people  

The head of the Al-Fateh Alliance Hadi Al-Amiri said, on Monday, that the current stage requires everyone to "sacrifice" in order to end the political blockage, during his meeting with the Secretary-General of the Kurdistan Islamic Union Salah al-Din Muhammad Baha al-Din.  

 

And the media office of the head of the Al-Fateh Alliance stated in a statement that “Nas” received a copy of it (May 23, 2022), that “Amiri said, after receiving the Secretary-General of the Kurdistan Islamic Union, Salah al-Din Muhammad Baha al-Din and his accompanying delegation, that the current stage requires everyone to sacrifice for the sake of Ending the political blockage.  

  

Al-Amiri added, "My great hope is that we will reach an agreement to resolve the political blockage and form the government as soon as possible in order to address the many problems that all the Iraqi people suffer from, from Al-Faw to Zakho."  

  

Earlier, the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, said that the guarantor third does not allow the formation of a "marginalization government", stressing that the framework does not adhere to the positions of the presidents of the republic and the ministers.  

  

Al-Maliki added in an interview with his colleague Muhammad al-Saadi, followed by "Nass" (18 May 2022), that "the coordination framework took the initiative to resolve the political blockage and would not allow the formation of a marginalized government, and his initiative included giving independents an opportunity to present a neutral candidate and invite others to adopt it."    

  

He stressed, "We have no insistence that the President of the Republic or the ministers be part of the coordination framework, but the largest bloc is the only way to form a supported and strong government," noting that "it is not possible to form a government in the way announced by the other party."    

  

Al-Maliki added, "The tripartite alliance realized that it was unable to gather 220 deputies to assign the President of the Republic, but we will stand with the candidate of the independents, especially since the space for the independents has become competitive and the framework initiative is clear, serious and frank."    

  

He also said, "The independents realized our initiative is real, and most of them are with the framework initiative," noting that "the Kurds' nomination of candidates for the presidency of the republic will deepen the state of alignments, and we hope that they will come down with one candidate."    

  

And he added, "The framework will adopt the candidate of the union if the Kurds have two candidates and a quorum of 220 deputies, neither the tripartite alliance nor the coordinating framework will be achieved, and the issue of the presidency remains the main political node."    

  

Al-Maliki pointed out that "the prime minister is only nominated by the largest bloc, and the current blockage is real, and there are two projects for all his ideas and commitments," stressing that "we did not receive messages from the other party regarding initiatives, and we sent messages to the other party."    

  

Al-Maliki stressed, "Our intention is that the initiative that we wrote has been communicated to all partners whom we do not want to exclude, as some want to exclude the coordination framework."    

 

  

Earlier, the State of Law coalition commented on the recent tweet of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, in which he announced resorting to the opposition for a period of 30 days.  

  

The coalition representative, Kazem Al-Haidari, said in a statement to "Nass", "Al-Sadr's tweet also aims to push the ball into the coordination framework court, and by it means: Go to convince the other parties in the tripartite alliance to form a government, and this requires solidarity from the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Alliance of Sovereignty, This is not the wish of the coordination framework, and we hope the Shiite component will be the broad spectrum in forming the government.”      

  

He added, "This will put us in a narrow corner, and our alliance with other parties is not from a position of strength," noting: "I do not rule out the alliance of the coordination framework with the rest of the tripartite alliance, because the framework has become in a narrow angle within the framework of forming the government."      

  

Al-Haidari commented on the part that came in the Sadrist movement’s leader’s post, which reads, “Otherwise (in reference to the non-formation of the government during the mentioned period), we will have another decision to announce at the time,” saying: “I expect that Al-Sadr will resort to the option of taking the opinion of the Iraqi street.”      

  

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, announced, earlier, the transition to the "national opposition" for a period of 30 days, while noting that this was due to "the failure of the largest bloc in its endeavor to form a national majority government."  

  

Al-Sadr stated in a blog post, which was seen by "Nass" (May 15, 2022), that "by the grace of God Almighty, I was honored to have the largest parliamentary bloc in the history of Iraq, and I was honored to succeed in forming the largest cross-quota bloc, and I was honored to rely on myself and that I am not affiliated with external parties, and I am honored that I do not resort to the judiciary in managing the needs of the people and the requirements for forming a government.”        

  

Al-Sadr added, “But due to the increase in the struggle against me from the inside and outside, and the idea of a national majority government, we did not succeed in our endeavor, praise be to God. To try it, which is to turn to the national opposition."        

  

He pointed out that "the period is not less than thirty days... If the parties and parliamentary blocs, including those whom we had the honor of allying with, succeed in forming a government to alleviate the suffering of the people, then it will be blessed, otherwise we have another decision to announce at the time, and peace be upon Iraq and its people."

The framework talks about “surprises” and studies the renewal of Al-Kazemi in exchange for “guarantees”: the rules of engagement differ

Shafaq News/ An informed source in the comprehensive coordinating framework of Shiite forces revealed, on Tuesday, options that he said he had to solve the existing political crisis, including the renewal of the current prime minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

The source told Shafaq News Agency, "The coordinating framework forces are intensifying their efforts to reach understandings that may lead to the formation of the government before the end of the thirty-day opposition deadline set by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr."

He explained that "the understandings with the actors and influencers in the digital equation have reached advanced stages."

And regarding the unification of the “Shiite House”, the source indicated that “the attempts of the coordinating framework forces in this are continuing, but so far they have not yielded anything,” adding, “This did not prevent the intensification of dialogues and discussions with influential and effective political parties in the digital equation for forming the government, including Independent representatives, a large number of whom have joined the coordination framework, not to mention other forces from the Sovereignty Alliance.

The source spoke, "about the comfort that the framework has in forming a parliamentary front that secures half plus one for it," noting that "there is a parliamentary movement led by the framework towards holding a parliamentary session with a full quorum, next week or the next, which is concerned with naming the president of the republic to end the most important chapter of the blockage. political".

The source said, "The framework studies several options to end the crisis in forming the government, including renewing the mandate of the outgoing Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, as he provided documented guarantees that obligate him to implement a service government program that achieves the aspirations of the street away from partisan and factional interests and other obligations that are in the interest of the country, meaning Another is that Al-Kazemi may be the framework candidate for prime minister, given that the rules of engagement differed from the previous ones.

The initiatives launched by the leader of the Sadrist movement and the framework did not succeed in resolving the political scene, while the independent representatives in Parliament also launched an initiative, but it also did not succeed in resolving the talismans of the complex political scene, while the political scene awaits a Kurdish initiative from the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, who Previously, in a scene similar to the current situation, he succeeded in launching an initiative that moved stagnant water and contributed to the formation of an Iraqi government led at the time by Nuri al-Maliki.

Failure to resolve=delays and more delays? Nothing new. This is iraq. Get used to it. Bickering and fighting are what they like to do in the government's circle.. Compromise and peace is difficult to be made among government politicians.

LAST UPDATE 05/31/2022 | 1:35 PM

Information / Baghdad.. The
leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance, former MP Hamid Al-Moussawi confirmed, on Tuesday, that the Sadrist bloc, after realizing that the majority project is difficult to achieve, used new tools in order for the tripartite alliance to remain united, while clarifying that the idea of dissolving Parliament is difficult to achieve for several reasons.

In continuous meetings, the coordination framework is looking for mechanisms that prevent Al-Sadr from using the street

 

 2022-05-31 09:39

 

Shafaq News/ A source in the comprehensive coordination framework for most of the Shiite political forces, with the exception of the Sadrist movement, stated that the consultative meetings held by the leaders of the framework revolve around mechanisms to prevent the use of the street as a pressure card on it to yield to the demands of the other party (the Triple Alliance).

The source stated to Shafak News Agency; "The periodic coordination framework meetings, including yesterday's meeting (Monday), revolve around finding proposals for solutions or means to prevent the movement of the street and its adoption as a pressure card against some political parties, and therefore the focus was on preventing the use or movement of the street against any of the parties refusing to marginalize the right of the Shiite component to The aspect of preventing a collision between the people or with the security forces, as well as missing the opportunity for the tripartite alliance to move forward with its plans and decisions, in other words, the framework will present realistic solutions binding on all to prevent the street fanning.

He pointed out that "the proposed solutions referred to after their maturity will be put forward before the end of the 30-day deadline set by al-Sadr."

Yesterday, Monday, the coordination framework held a meeting that included all its Shiite leaders, while the meeting did not issue a statement or any details revealing the outcome of the meeting.

An informed source said, earlier on Tuesday, that the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, now supports the option of dissolving the House of Representatives and going to early elections in light of the continuing political impasse in the country.

On Sunday, a number of Iraqi politicians filed a lawsuit against the three presidencies (the republic, ministers and parliament), demanding the Federal Supreme Court (the highest judicial authority in Iraq), to dissolve the parliament.

As soon as the preliminary results of the elections were announced, the voices of political forces and actors rose in their rejection of losing many seats, accusing them of major fraud in the ballot, which was denied by the executive and judicial authorities, at a time when the United Nations and international organizations praised the integrity of the electoral process.

{Politics: Al Furat News} The political analyst, Adnan Al-Sarraj, said that the rapprochement of the Democratic Party with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan came to politely repudiate the tripartite alliance.

 

Al-Sarraj told Al-Furat News that: "The political blockage cannot continue in light of the initiatives that are being presented on the ground, and the coordination framework is awaiting an important initiative in coordination with the independents to be presented to the Sadrist movement, and there are consultations and meetings taking place behind the scenes to bring the views closer."
He added, "The Sadrist movement's insistence on the national majority embarrasses its Kurdish and Sunni allies. Therefore, a way out must be found. I think that the Democratic Party approached the National Union to politely repudiate its commitment to the tripartite alliance and sovereignty in a situation that does not allow it to present initiatives by virtue of their reality, which needs to be more coherent.
Al-Sarraj continued, "Today, the movement faces real entitlements, either it is moving forward with the alliance from the framework to reach a good initiative, or the framework defines its efforts to form a government, whether it is a mixture of the movement's participation or the movement goes to the opposition." 
He stressed that "the framework interacted positively with all the initiatives on the scene, and it wants a prime minister with characteristics of independence, strength and firmness, with a high degree of integrity, and for the Shiite bloc, the most numerous, to be a cover for the prime minister." 
Al-Sarraj went on to say, "The framework does not have a veto over the prime minister's candidate from the Sadrist movement, but within the specifications being studied, and today he is obligated in front of the political reality to go with the mixture of forming the government with the current if it is within the half plus one." 
The political analyst concluded, "To get out of the crisis, the political forces must take the decision, either by participating in the government or going to the opposition."
