Independents are the new crisis players

Saturday 07 May 2022 174

 

 Baghdad: Muhannad Abd al-Wahhab

While the blessed Eid al-Fitr holiday, which politicians bet on will carry the news of a long-awaited relief to address the crisis that has been going on for months, it seems that “the feast did not bring anything new,” rather expectations were disappointed, and Iraq entered a new chapter of political stubbornness, and while attention turned to independent parliamentarians to find out. Their position on the initiative of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr; Parties in the coordinating framework accused their rivals in the Triple Alliance of being committed and causing the disruption of the formation of the government after the negative attitude towards his initiative, which he announced on the first day of Eid.

 

Representative of the Independents Bloc Hussein Al-Sabri said in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "The ball was placed in the court of the independents, and the independent deputies are required to adopt a consistent national stance and to be up to the responsibility." 

He added, "The demand of the independent leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, for a patriotic and serious stance towards the political process, after which a lot of opinions were put forward from the independents, followed by a meeting for them to unite ranks to come up with a unified position, work on this issue with real steps and come up with guarantees towards the real goal to get out of the blockage crisis." This political. 

He pointed out that "during the next few days, a unified position of the independents will appear towards the initiative presented by Al-Sadr, and so far we have not taken any position regarding it," explaining that "Al-Sadr's tweet gave leadership and leadership to the independents, and there will be a clear vision from the independents to draw the real political map that he wishes for." The Iraqi people, but the independents need guarantees.”

The representative of the "Determination" coalition, Ali Al-Machkoor, stated that "all the initiatives launched to resolve the situation and the political impasse depend on the extent to which the other party accepts them," asking: "What is the benefit of the initiatives if they are not accepted by the opposite parties?" 

He added in an interview with "Al-Sabah", that "all political blocs must prevail over the public interest over the party or alliance they represent," and that "a design alliance looks at everyone at the same distance, and despite the fact that the alliance is young and new, we look at ourselves as the younger brother of its two older brothers." And we hope to be the link between everyone, as they are the sons of Iraq.” 

He pointed out that "the coordinating framework is still attracting deputies to work on forming the largest bloc in order to win over the remaining deputies and put forward opinions to be presented on the other side and accept them. Some concessions by both sides. 

In turn, the political analyst Mahmoud Al-Hashemi said in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that “the coordination framework initiative carried a lot of inclusiveness and gave space and space for all parties to solve the problem of the political blockage, and at the same time the initiative was rejected at the initiative of Muqtada Al-Sadr, who made the independents (the telescope egg). ), and this is not appropriate for many reasons, including that the issue of the independents remained within the limits of both blocs, the framework and the current. As for the other parties, the tripartite alliance (the Sunnis and the Kurds) may not accept that the administration of the country be handed over to the independents, as they are the holders of electoral rights and do not dispense with them, as well as the coordinating framework does not accept that This gives the independents full powers to form the government. 

He stressed that “if the initiatives remain within the limits of contradiction, they will not make a quick solution to the political blockage, which will be the general feature that dominates the political process, and what is required of both parties is the framework and the current to understand that the issue is not breaking wills, but rather the issue of solving the problem of a homeland and the great challenges surrounding it,” calling for “ Serious discussions between the framework and the current to reach satisfactory solutions. 

In addition, the leader in the coordination framework, Ali Al-Fatlawi, considered that the initiative launched by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada Al-Sadr, complicated the political scene more. 

Al-Fatlawi said in a press interview: "Al-Sadr's initiative came in opposition to the framework initiative," and added that "the initiative launched by the coordination framework summarized all the problems with the development of solutions, as well as fairness to all political forces and the independent representatives."

The leader in the coordination framework, Mahmoud Al-Hayani, confirmed today that the tripartite alliance has become the obstruction to the formation of the government.

Al-Hayani said in a press interview: "The attempt to attract the tripartite coalition of independent representatives made the formation of the government not on the principle of the national majority demanded by the tripartite coalition, but the issue has become just a challenge between the coalitions of national stability and saving a nation."

He added that "this method of dealing with the issue of government formation does not serve the interests of the Iraqi people, who are considered the only victims."

Five scenarios for dismantling the crisis

Sunday 08 May 2022 270

 

  Baghdad: Muhannad Abd al-Wahhab 

 

In the midst of the continuing state of blockage and stalemate that has paralyzed the political process and the entire country, and with the futility of solutions in the initiatives presented by the “Coordination Committee” and “Tripartite” parties, with one rejecting the other’s proposals, experts and political observers stated that there are five expected scenarios as a result of the current political crisis, from Including the dissolution of Parliament and go towards new elections.

In an interview with Al-Sabah, political analyst Jassem Al-Moussawi said, "The current debate, perhaps for a short period, is whether there will be a political consensus or a political coalition? Will a new initiative come out to find a solution to this delay, inability and the brakes that affected the ability of most of the leaders of political forces in a situation Political pragmatism, whether at the party or street level, should take precedence?

He added, "There are two paths that seem to have a common denominator between them; the first believes that he is able to embarrass others and thus be able to form the government, so he called for winning the independents.  

And he indicated that "the dismantling of this political stubbornness is based on two dimensions; the first is a very clear external influence, and there is an internal dimension and the insistence of these political forces after they have implicated themselves in front of their audience that they are insisting on pursuing a certain philosophy, part of which is the so-called majority government and another part is balance and the rights of the components ".

Al-Moussawi pointed out that "as a result, there are five possibilities or expected scenarios for the end of this crisis; the first is for the situation to remain as it is and grant the expired prime minister to stay, and then replace the (framework) ministers and search for a change of governors, as happened in some provinces, and this is not limited to On the center and the south, and it may have reached Mosul. As for the second scenario, the situation will remain as it is, but there will be problems and conflicts and the spark of political stubbornness may reach the street, and the third is that an emergency government is formed and this government will take over everything and Parliament will not be able to hold it accountable ". 

And he indicated that "the possible scenario that is closest to reality is the fourth, in which it is possible that there will be parity in the prime ministership of the two parties to the conflict, and the fifth scenario is the easy possibility, that there will be a sharing in the ministries between (the Sadrist movement) and (the coordination framework), and this sharing may It does not stop the agreement process (seven versus five or six ministries), but what is lacking in the agreement are the guarantees of the legislative authority and whether the framework is able to take guarantees from the (current) in the legislative authority, provided that there are no open files, and perhaps the closest to a solution is Fourth option. 

In turn, the head of the Political Thinking Foundation, Dr. Ihsan Al-Shammari, said that "there is no change in the alliances at this time, given that (the coordination framework) is still coherent, and also the (Save a Homeland) alliance, despite some statements about some of its parties, but it is still coherently."

The meeting of "independent" deputies ends without an agreement

 

 2022-05-08 18:45

 

Shafaq News/ An informed political source stated, on Monday, that the independent representatives in the Iraqi parliament had not reached an agreement defining their direction towards two political initiatives proposed by the Triple Alliance, and the coordination framework leads to the formation of the faltering government.

The source told Shafaq News Agency, that a meeting gathered 46 deputies with an independent title at the house of Representative Haider Al-Shamkhi, to discuss the recent initiatives and political developments in the country.

He added that the meeting did not come up with a final agreement specifying their destination, with an emphasis on holding a new meeting that may be decisive during the next two days.

The comprehensive coordinating framework of Shiite forces, and the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, had each put forward an initiative to resolve the blockage, as the framework initiative consisted of nine points, and was accompanied by nine commitments, which included a pivotal role for the independents in naming the prime minister, provided that it is within the framework of the Shiite component, followed by Al-Sadr’s initiative to invite independent representatives to form an independent bloc to form the government away from the coordination framework, after a period of forty days granted to the framework in order to form the government in isolation from his current.

With the end of the deadline comes a new failure in the attempts of the framework or the movement to find an understanding with the other forces in order to set a new date for holding a parliament session, dedicated to electing a new president of the republic, and completing the constitutional entitlements represented by forming a new government.

Baghdad - people  

The leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Bankin Rekani, said, on Monday, that the party leader, Massoud Barzani, intends to present a project to end the political stalemate in Iraq, and is currently on the line with the political parties to obtain the opinion of all parties and then present the proposal, so that they can reach a satisfactory result.  

  

Rikani added, in statements to Voice of America, the Kurdish section, translated by "Nass Kord" (May 9, 2022), "Of course, Barzani had tried to present a proposal previously, but the first initiative did not actually succeed after Nechirvan Barzani, accompanied by Al-Halbousi, visited Mr. Al-Sadr in Najaf." It is no secret to everyone that an atmosphere of sensitivity prevails in the inter-relationships of the Shiite parties, and it is difficult for them to reach a conclusion.  

  

He stresses that, "If Massoud Barzani's project does not succeed, then no other project in Iraq will succeed and something else must be done." He said, "Mr. Massoud does not present many projects that will not succeed, which means that he is now in great contact and negotiating."  

  

Rikani stressed that “one of the strongest possibilities is his re-election, provided that all political parties agree.” One of the most important options is to reopen the elections, but are all political parties committed to it? Do they believe in themselves to enter the elections again or not? In light of the low turnout in the elections last time.

A condition for entering the presidential election session

Al-Jabri talks about the “independent initiative”: it will be embarrassing for some political blocs

2022.05.09 - 21:07

 

  

Baghdad - people  

Independent MP Adnan Al-Jabri denied, on Monday, the existence of a split between the independent representatives, while referring to the "independent initiative" to get out of the "political closure", specifying the condition for the participation of independent representatives in the presidential election session.  

  

  

  

Al-Jabri said in a statement to the official channel, followed by "Nas" (May 9, 2022), "there is no division between the independent representatives, there are many commonalities between us, and there are continuous meetings and consultations that have not been interrupted since the announcement of the election results, and during this period the dialogues were intensified for the purpose of ending The current political closure.  

  

He added, "There is no pressure on the independents. Our position is strong, and we are the ones who will draw the features of the next government, and the dependence is on us. All political forces have announced their inability to form a government and end the political closure unless the independents join the proposed initiatives."  

 

 

  

He continued, "Out of concern for the homeland and the formation of the government, the independents are determined to have a savior opinion of the political process," noting that "there are common spaces between the independents, and they agree on the principle of correcting the course of the political process."  

  

"Independent Initiative"  

And about the "independent initiative" between al-Jabri, "The Iraqi people hope that the independents will put forward an initiative different from the previous initiatives," noting that "the initiative of the independents will be embarrassing for some political blocs, given that the independents are determined to reform the political process and the three presidencies."  

  

He pointed out that "the initiative, if there is a longitudinal reform, will focus on setting standards for the prime minister and also for the cabinet, and they must be applied to the three presidencies."  

  

He continued, "If there is only an accidental reform, which is towards the merit of the prime minister, we are going towards the Shiite bloc in naming the prime minister."  

  

A condition for entering the presidential election session  

  

Al-Jabri said: "No names have been identified for the prime minister, but there are criteria for the three presidencies, specifically the prime minister, and we ask the political blocs to implement these criteria in return for us entering parliament sessions and achieving a quorum to elect the president of the republic."  

  

He added, "Introducing criteria gives more space in choosing the prime minister and the republic."  

  

He continued, "The issue of government formation must be separated from the parliament's oversight role, and the latter must play its oversight role and not disrupt it.  

  

He concluded, "The role of the House of Representatives is not limited to forming the government, even if it fails to name the three presidencies and form the government... It remains an observer of the performance of the caretaker government and legislates laws until the end of the political closure."

Earlier, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, called on independents in the House of Representatives to adopt the formation of the next government with the support of the Triple Alliance within a maximum period of 15 days.  

  

Al-Sadr said in a blog post seen by "Nass" (4 May 2022), "After consulting with the allies in the Grand Alliance, I say: The current political process has three parties: The first party: The Greater National Alliance: (The Alliance to Save the Nation), which is the sponsor of the national majority, but because of The Iraqi judiciary's decision to activate the blocking third delayed the formation of the majority government."    

  

He added that "the second party: the coordinating framework calling for a consensus government... We gave it a deadline of forty days, and it failed to form a consensus government."    

  

Al-Sadr added, "The third party: the independent individuals in Parliament. We call on them to (independent formation) of no less than forty of them away from the coordination framework as a whole, which took its chance.. The independents must join the larger coalition to form an independent government. We will inform them of some of its details later, and the coalition will vote The largest on their government, including the Sadrist bloc, and in agreement with the Sunnis and Kurds of the coalition...the movement will not have a participation in its ministers."

He pointed out that "the independents put forward an initiative, which enables them to become prime minister and form a government, and some political forces responded and others did not."
Al-Jabri added, "We demanded practical guarantees so that the independents do not use a bridge to cross the presidency session. We also demanded with the intention and seriousness to correct the political process and reform the three presidencies. But if the correction is limited only to the prime minister, then it is the right of the Shiite component."  
With regard to the token of confidence to grant independents some parliamentary committees, Al-Jabri explained, "Our proposals are many, including empowering independents from parliamentary committees, especially legal and financial."

Al-Jabri explained, "The independents represent 25% of the Shiite bloc, and it has become a difficult number, and most calls are made by the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement to the Shiite independents 
. Including the independents for dialogue,” adding, “Some of the independents have common spaces with some political forces.” 
Regarding the shape of the upcoming road map for the independents, Al-Jabri expected, “there will be a road map with common spaces with the initiatives put forward and presented to the blocs, and we see the responses, it must be There is a special opinion of the independents in this crisis or initiative, and we are supposed to see the extent of interaction from the political blocs."

Rights: The framework is the weight of the egg, and the independents are unable to unite their ranks

{Politics: Al Furat News} The rights movement stressed that the coordinating framework is the weight of the egg, while referring to the "inability" of the independents to unite their ranks.

 

The movement's spokesman, Ali Fadlallah, said; The program “Alastra” broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel on Monday evening said: “The political system in Iraq is parliamentary and not presidential. It is strange that the framework accused the failure of previous governments, knowing that Parliament in its previous sessions was standing against the prime minister.”
He added, "The infrastructure project could have saved the economy and unemployment, and all the heads of previous governments succeeded in running the state and the political system is still in place despite all the external and internal interventions to sabotage it."
Fadlallah said, "The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, is well aware that the movement was unable to form a government. As a result, the framework is an egg, and the independents are unable to unite their ranks."
He pointed out that "attempts to break up the framework failed despite 5 months of attempts, and it remains the third guarantor of the formation of the government, and that no part or entity can be held responsible for the failure of the parliamentary system."
He continued, "The framework and the current have two different visions, and we insist on forming the most numerous bloc to ensure the largest component," adding, "The tripartite alliance failed to pass the presidency in three sessions." 
Fadlallah went on to say, "The framework did not give the full opportunity to form a government according to a special vision, and the current had a dialogue with different forces over the other on the grounds of division, but there is no guardianship over the functioning or formation of the government."
And he indicated, "The framework insisted on agreeing with the current to form the largest bloc, not the government, so it did not fail, and the tripartite alliance wants to seize the parliament, the authority, the control and the government."
Fadlallah recalled, "The implementation of 125 strategic projects in Karbala would not have succeeded without the political system, as the center and the south witnessed the construction of 20,000 schools, and corruption and poor service cannot be blamed on Shiite politicians only."
And the spokesman for the Rights Movement concluded, "The policy of exclusion began since the demonstrations, then the results of the elections, ending with the formation of the government. The framework rejected the spoils offered to it and insisted on the rights of the Shiite component and its obsession with forming the largest bloc."

{Politics: Al Furat News} The political analyst, Ghaleb Al-Daami, expected the inability of the independents to form a large bloc, describing them as "powerless."

 

Al-Daami said; For the program “Al-Mastra” broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel tonight: “All previous governments failed with the recognition of the political forces, and whoever obstructs the formation of the government today is seeking to obtain gains, and the positive opposition does not exist in the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement.”
He added, "We cannot hold the independents responsible for running the state, and they are not united and unable to form a large bloc. They did not reach a unified agreement regarding the formation of the bloc and the government, but rather they agreed to refuse."
Al-Daami continued, "The current political process is short and everyone is unable to agree, and if the framework and the trend towards forming a government agree, they will disagree later, so there is no hope in saving the political process as long as the differences are present."
Al-Daami ruled out "the framework agreement and the current in the root national issues, and the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, completed the argument against his opponents and did not put forward a candidate for prime minister except for Jaafar al-Sadr."
He stressed the parliament, "the need to find ways to break the political blockage, except through legislation or the Federal Court."
Al-Dami acknowledged the “participation of the tools of the tripartite alliance calling for the majority in previous governments,” adding, “The initiative of Kurdistan Democratic Party Chairman Massoud Barzani may lead to an agreement of the current and framework on naming the prime minister; ".

Baghdad - people   

The head of the Alliance for the People, Alaa Al-Rikabi, commented, on Tuesday, regarding the initiative of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada Al-Sadr, for independent representatives in the framework of forming the government.  

  

  

  

Al-Rikabi said in an interview with his colleague Karim Hammadi, followed by "Nas" (May 10, 2022), "The Sadrist movement did not put the ball in our court within the framework of forming the government, and the initiative came as a political position and did not solve the problem."  

  

He added, the Sadrist movement gave up its share in forming the government, but the tripartite alliance has 3 parties, as the Democratic Party and the Sovereignty Alliance did not give up their share, with the result the government that the independents will form will be a new quota government, and with this we asked for a pledge.  

  

He continued, "Independents joining the tripartite alliance is very difficult, we need a pledge not to dictate and not to interfere in the formation of the government," noting that "we have not communicated with parties affiliated with or close to Al-Sadr."  

  

He pointed out that "the problem of forming a government was not resolved in 100 days, so how can 40 independents be asked to form a government in 15 days," explaining, "We set the specifications and criteria of the prime minister."  

  

Al-Rikabi asked, "Why did he ask for 40 independents in particular? They gave us real powers and did not restrict us. 40 MPs from the independents asked to achieve a quorum for the presidential session. We are not weak and the independents are able to advance the country with a real government, but without restriction."  

 

 

  

On Wednesday, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, called on independents in the House of Representatives to adopt the formation of the next government, with the support of the Triple Alliance, within a maximum period of 15 days.  

  

Al-Sadr said in a blog post seen by "Nass" (4 May 2022), "After consulting with the allies in the Grand Alliance, I say: The current political process has three parties: The first party: The Greater National Alliance: (The Alliance to Save the Nation), which is the sponsor of the national majority, but because of The Iraqi judiciary's decision to activate the blocking third delayed the formation of the majority government."    

  

He added that "the second party: the coordinating framework calling for the consensus government... We gave him a deadline of forty days, and he failed to form the consensus government."    

  

Al-Sadr added, "The third party: the independent individuals in Parliament. We call on them to (independent formation) of no less than forty of them away from the coordination framework as a whole, which took its chance.. The independents must join the larger coalition to form an independent government. We will inform them of some of its details later, and the coalition will vote The largest on their government, including the Sadrist bloc, and in agreement with the Sunnis and Kurds of the coalition...the movement will not have a participation in its ministers."

The leader of the Sadrist movement said that "the general trend within the majority coalition is still refusing to form a consensus government," without denying the existence of "opinions within (Save the Homeland) that go towards showing some flexibility with the coordination framework, for reasons including fears that the majority project will backfire on some of its allies. ".  

  

He added, "Those with this approach want to go to the presidential election session with minimal risks."  

  

A senior political source who was briefed on the meeting of the "Save the Homeland" coalition in Erbil, the day before yesterday (Monday), said that the Kurdistan Democratic Party, despite its recent initiative, is not thinking of relinquishing the position of President of the Republic, "under the influence of the blows the region has received."

He added, "A large part of those we describe as independents agree with the coordinating framework bloc or may have left its womb, and therefore cannot rely on the new option through the independents' paper, but there is another trend that may be very close to unraveling the political knot, which is that a large part of the The coordinating framework participates in the next government. 

And he indicated that "the part that will participate in the coordination framework in the new government synthesis, will preserve the rights of the minority from within the framework, and therefore those who did not participate will go to the opposition and their rights may be preserved as well.

The independents and the formation of the Iraqi government..Two calls and a "chosen" position

 

Endless political attempts to attract a group about to turn to the "opposition"
  The Independent Arabic  

 

Saturday 14 May 2022 14:50
    

Independent deputies unanimously unite their national contributors (AFP)

The dominant political forces on the scene in Iraq continue to launch initiatives to end the blockage, and try to win over and attract independents to their camp, where a group of representatives not affiliated with either of the two main forces met in the capital, Baghdad. The meeting included the "For Iraq" coalition and others, to resolve their final position on the coordination framework initiatives and the Sadrist movement.

 

A political source told "Shafaq News" agency, "Despite the divided opinions regarding the two initiatives, there is almost unanimity to wait in the decision-making, and wait for what the leader of the Sadrist movement will decide, after the forty-day period has expired."

The source added, "In addition to the imminent expiration of the deadline granted to them (independents) by al-Sadr, some parliamentarians depended on defining their position on it, by declaring the presidency of the parliamentary committees, and therefore there is no unified position unless that is achieved, although the latter is difficult to do at the present time." .

nine points

 

The Shiite forces' collective coordination framework, and the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, put forward an initiative to resolve the blockage. The framework initiative consisted of nine points, attached to nine commitments, and included a pivotal role for the independents in naming the prime minister, provided that it is within the Shiite component framework, followed by an initiative by al-Sadr, calling on independent representatives to form an independent bloc to form the government, away from the coordination framework, after A period of forty days granted to the framework in order to form a government in isolation from his current.

 

With the end of the deadline, a new failure comes with the framework's attempts or the trend to find an understanding with the other forces in order to set a new date for holding a parliament session, dedicated to electing a new president of the republic, and completing the constitution's entitlements, represented by forming a new government.

 

Al-Sadr gave independent representatives an opportunity to form a government within a maximum period of 15 days, which came for the purpose of forming a “unified parliamentary bloc of no less than 40 deputies,” which is what the “Save the Nation” coalition needs to hold a presidential election session, in the presence of 220 deputies, away from “one-third.” The disruptive” coordination framework and the forces allied with it.

refuse to participate

In addition, Hassan al-Adari, head of the Sadrist bloc in Parliament, confirmed that some of the independents rejected the initiative to participate in the government, hours after the meeting of the three parties to the tripartite alliance for the first time after breaking Sadr's "political fast."

 

Al-Adari said, in a statement, "After we proved to everyone that we are not clinging to power, and we gave the independents a golden opportunity to form the government and prime minister, the response came from some of them with rejection, but we are moving forward with reform," noting that "our political struggle is a struggle for reform, not for sharing." spoils of power."

He added, "One of the most important signs of reform is our demand, which does not go away, to form a national majority government, away from power-sharing, and the consensus that harmed the country and people."

 

Independent split

On the other hand, independent MP Salah Zainy revealed a split among the independent MPs over the formation of the next government, pointing at the same time to the "marginalization and exclusion" of their role. He said in a press statement, "We will not be just completing a quorum for the sessions, and voting on decisions in which we have no eloquence or sentences, including the formation of the government without knowing its true program, its future directions, and its effectiveness in facing challenges and crises."

 

Zinni complained of "the marginalization and exclusion of independents from important parliamentary committees," describing their formation as "a politician far from professional and efficient." He pointed to "the division of independents between participation in the government, and the desire of some to go to the real opposition, to evaluate the work of Parliament and the government," considering that everyone's participation in the government "will disrupt the oversight role and end the role of the opposition."

 

Zinni believed that "the independent representatives have unanimously agreed to unite their national contributors, and they will not be the door for any political alliance or other forces to pass projects that serve part of the components and forces and undermine the role of the other part." Pointing out that "the independents will deal in the media with the political forces that deal with them in the media, and the final position will be announced at a press conference soon."

 

He concluded his statement by saying, "We are looking for a comprehensive alliance away from marginalization, exclusion and factionalism at the expense of the interest of the nation and the people and the future of the political process on its right track."

 

 

specific specifications
 Meanwhile, independent MP Hussein Al-Sa'bri confirmed that the majority of independent MPs do not support the formation of a "consensual" government, as it has failed in all previous experiences.

Al-Sabri explained that "the choice of independent representatives is heading towards forming a (majority government), as it represents the most appropriate opportunity to reform the political process, and find a government that can provide services to the Iraqi people and preserve their interests."

 

He revealed that they "agreed to support the government within specific specifications, and we have made it clear that independent representatives are free, whether they choose to participate in the government and the executive side, or to work in the parliament and perform their parliamentary work within the parliamentary opposition."

The framework intends to conduct a "secret" visit to Najaf, bearing an initiative for Al-Sadr

 2022-05-13 09:39

 

Shafaq News/ A source in the coordination framework that includes Shiite political forces said, on Friday, that the framework intends to conduct a "secret" visit to the city of Najaf to meet with the leader of the Sadrist movement, with the aim of putting forward an initiative for it to get out of the political impasse and proceed with the formation of the new federal government, which was delayed for months. Several after holding early legislative elections in the country

The source told Shafaq News that a delegation from the Coordination Framework Command will go to Najaf on a secret visit to meet with al-Sadr.

He explained that the delegation would put forward a special initiative during its visit to Al-Sadr to resolve the political crisis and form a government.

Regarding the timing of the visit, the source, who asked not to be named, said that it was "unspecified", but the purpose of this visit was to seek the formation of the government by the Sadrist movement's bloc and the coordination framework.

On Wednesday, the fourth of May, the coordination framework announced the launch of a nine-point political initiative, accompanied by nine commitments to be implemented, similar in some terms to the previous Al-Hakim initiative.

It is noteworthy that the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, launched two initiatives to form the federal government, one of which announced its failure, which he granted to the coordination framework at the beginning of last April, and the other he launched to independent deputies on the third of this month, giving them 15 days to carry out the task of forming the government in cooperation with allies in The Triple Alliance (Save a Homeland) from the Kurds and Sunnis without representing the Sadrist bloc as ministers.

The dispute intensified between the two Shiite poles represented by the Sadrist movement, which won the highest votes in the elections that took place last year, and the coordination framework that includes blocs that expressed their rejection of the election results.

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, insists on forming a majority government that seeks to exclude the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, who served as prime minister for two terms.

On the tenth of last October, Iraq held early legislative elections to get out of a political crisis that swept the country after large demonstrations in the central and southern regions in 2019 in protest against the widespread unemployment in society, the spread of financial and administrative corruption in government departments and institutions, and the deteriorating reality The service and the livelihood, which prompted the former prime minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, to resign under popular pressure.

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.
