Kurdish forces accuse the "democratic" of intransigence and breaking wills

Wednesday 13th April 2022 276

 

 Sulaymaniyah: Muhammad al-Baghdadi

 

While attention has been focused in Baghdad for months on the political blockage between the two sides of the Shiite component, the "coordinating framework" and the "Sadr movement", the differences in the Kurdistan region are exacerbating and heading to more tension due to the accusations leveled by all Kurdish political forces against the Kurdistan Democratic Party, and this time Not at the point of disagreement over the position of President of the Republic; Rather, it is about the Democrat’s insistence on holding the elections on time under the umbrella of the same commission and with the same electoral law in the (single) district.

A member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Ahmed Harki, said in an interview with Al-Sabah: "A law like the election law, with national dimensions, must be formulated through dialogue between the various parties and not by imposing the will," adding that "the Kurdistan Democratic Party is trying to impose His will is against all Kurdish parties.

And he indicated that "the influential Kurdish parties in a party such as (the Patriotic Union, the Change Movement, the Islamic Union, the Justice Group and the New Generation) demand a multi-constituency system, that is, dividing the Kurdistan region into four districts (Erbil, Dohuk, Sulaymaniyah, Halabja), one district for each governorate, in return for insisting The democratic system is based on a single district system, meaning that all of Kurdistan, with all its governorates, is one district.

Harki pointed out that "this system has many drawbacks, including the lack of geographical balance and fair representation of provincial representatives, and the possibility of fraud. It is an old system and must be changed, and a new voter registry must be prepared or the biometric registration approved in the Federal Parliament elections must be relied upon. Last October," he called for "the creation of a dialogue between the Kurdish parties, not through the democrat's attempt to impose his will on others and exclude them."

On the other hand, Wafaa Muhammad, a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, said that "the political blockage in the Kurdish house is still in force regarding the dispute over the presidential candidate, and the dispute has increased with the approaching date of the Kurdistan Regional Parliament elections."

Muhammad stressed in an interview with "Al-Sabah" that "the Democratic Party demands that the elections be held on the specified date in the month of October, and in one district as before, but the other parties want to postpone the elections and they argue for changing the commission and resorting to four districts, meaning that each governorate should be a district, They also demand (according to Muhammad) to reduce the number of components and religions from 11 seats to 7 seats, and this is what the Democrat rejects to preserve his electoral entitlement,” noting that “these are the most prominent current problems regarding how to conduct elections.”

Meanwhile, Hemdad Shaheen, a spokesman for the New Generation Movement led by Shaswar Abdul Wahed, revealed that "the political process in the region has ended," noting that "the institutions are completely paralyzed."

Shaheen called "the federal government and the international community to intervene in order to hold the elections in the region in a fair, fair and transparent manner," noting in his speech to "Al-Sabah", "that we, as the opposition, will be forced in our steps to protect democracy in the country and prevent unilateral political decision in the region as a guarantee of living in peace ".

In order to get out of the current political crisis in the region, civil activist Soran Maarouf said, in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "The solution is the necessity of electing a new commission and enacting a new election law that depends on multiple constituencies," adding: "The current commission in the region is accused of It is close to the Kurdistan Democratic Party, and therefore the first step is to establish a new commission that will supervise the electoral process."

Signs of détente for the split of the two Kurdish parties, at the initiative of the president of the region

2022.05.15 - 12:59

 

Baghdad - people  

The Presidency of the Kurdistan Region announced, on Sunday, that it is trying to hold a meeting between the Democratic Party, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and political forces to end the "split", noting that it had received positive responses.  

 

Dilshad Shehab, senior advisor to the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, told media close to the region's president, Nechirvan Barzani, followed by "Nas" (May 15, 2022), that "efforts are underway to hold a high-level meeting between the Democratic Union and the ." Union 

Shehab added, "The parties view the presidency as an umbrella that brings everyone together," noting that "the division has harmed us all."  

He pointed out that "the regional government received positive responses from the two parties to attend the meeting."  

  

  

The Center for Future Studies in the Kurdistan Region stated that during the 19 years of the political process, the Kurdistan region did not witness fragmentation and division, as is happening now, which caused endangering Kurdish interests and gains, and this division left traces on the files of energy, elections and the Kurdish position.  

  

The Center indicated in a study, translated by "Nas Kord" (April 28, 2022), that "the opportunity for the Kurds to play a role in the Shiite and Sunni division was lost due to the division of the two Kurdish parties, and the repercussions of this sharp division posed a threat to the Kurdish gains."    

  

He added that "the repercussions of the division appear in the Kurdish arena clearly and clearly in the files of energy and the general parliamentary elections expected at the end of the year, as the two files witness interactions and exchange of accusations as a result of the division over the "national majority government" and the election of a president of the republic."    

  

The study stated that "according to the 1992 Kurdistan Parliamentary Elections Law, a few more months is the end of the current parliamentary session and new elections should be held in November of this year, but during the past few months so far the Kurdish parties have not agreed on both amendments to the electoral law." As well as the Electoral Commission law, which disappointed the Kurdish community and created new threats, which certainly affected the Kurdish participation in the new government in Iraq.    

  

And she indicated that "the file of managing how to manage the natural resources in the region is at the fore in the inter-disputes of the two Kurdish parties, and it is known that this issue is basically one of the topics of the conflict between the Kurdistan region and the Iraqi federal government on the other hand, as the federal government insists, according to articles and interpretations of the constitution, on extending the federal authority. The region is otherwise based on other articles of the constitution, and in the recent period, the common Kurdish view of the possibility of the two sides agreeing on a Kurdish vision in the future government of Iraq, including dealing with the energy management file and dealing with the Federal Court’s decision that the oil and gas law for the Kurdistan region is unconstitutional, has vanished.

The Democrat has reached the conviction that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan will not give up the nomination of Barham Salih, and we are still committed to the nomination, and perhaps they have other solutions, and the solutions are in their hands to settle the position. "

Sorji went on to say, "The only solution to break the blockage is to sit at the negotiating table and avoid tension, which does not serve the public interest. Everyone must make concessions to reach satisfactory and approximate solutions."
He added, "We will not compromise over our candidate, Barham Salih, who is our only candidate. Perhaps there will be a waiver of some sovereign rights and jobs in the region and Baghdad," adding, "The Union does not have political stubbornness with the Democrat, and we adhere to Barham Salih's merit according to previous agreements, and today there is an initiative that we hope will be good for all." Iraqis by passing the prime minister. 
And Surji, that "the Democrat and the Alliance of Sovereignty will not go to the opposition and will participate in the government, for the tripartite alliance does not carry a government program but a program of exclusion and marginalization," concluding, "the rivalry and divisions between the political blocs negatively affected the whole of Iraq, including the region, and presented security to danger."
Today, Sunday, the President of the Kurdistan Region, Vice President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Nechirvan Barzani, arrived in Sulaymaniyah to hold a meeting with the Kurdish parties in the province.
