Baghdad - Mawazine News
The Sadrist Parliamentary Bloc responded, on Friday, to the letter of Finance Minister Ali Abdul Amir Allawi to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, in which he rejected his invitation to the parliament dome tomorrow, Saturday.
Representative of the bloc, Ghayeb Al-Amiri, said in a statement that Mawazine News received a copy of it, "We reject the passive statements and the unbalanced reaction of Allawi, who seemed to be afraid of recruitment, and in violation of the constitutional foundations of appearing in the legislative institution, and you know that the Sadrists are the salt of the earth and the sons of the nation." And brothers to the rest of the components of the people that you are supposed to be a servant to and a worker for the sake of its comfort and well-being.
” He added, “What is the nonsense except that you (kindly accepted) in underestimating the suffering of the people from high prices and the high cost of living, and what lies you are telling about what you believe of success, just as you belong A good family to be proud of..
Al-Amiri concluded, "We are the Sadrists, a noble family and a good tree, whose root is firm, its branches are in the sky, and its fruits are steps of reform that will bring down every failed or fearful dementia, so that the truth is right and the country flourishes."

Al-Amiri concluded, "We are the Sadrists, a noble family and a good tree, whose root is firm, its branches are in the sky, and its fruits are steps of reform that will bring down every failed or fearful dementia, so that the truth is right and the country flourishes."
And Finance Minister Ali Abdul-Amir Allawi, earlier today, Friday, sent a message to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, following the tweet of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, regarding the exchange rate of the dollar, while stressing his refusal to be summoned by the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hakim al-Zamili.
Allawi said, in his 21-point message, and Mawazine News received a copy of it, the following:
1- I received a summons from the Deputy Speaker of Parliament to appear before him to discuss the exchange rate. This came as soon as Muqtada al-Sadr tweeted, asking me to appear before Parliament to discuss the exchange rate.
2- The summoning of the Deputy Speaker of Parliament came as a result of the tweet of Mr. Muqtada, the leader of the Sadrist movement, to which the Deputy Speaker of Parliament belongs.
3- The entire process is unacceptable and should not be tolerated, whether for the dignity of the government, my dignity as a minister, or my personal dignity and the dignity of my family.
4- First. This government is not accountable to any political party. It is only answerable to the Iraqi people through its elected parliament.
5- If, as a government, we do not reject these nefarious interferences in the function of government by political parties, we may cede the independence of the government as the executive arm of the state. And here comes the question of determining the role of the government, whether it represents the people or an executive arm of political parties.
6- I categorically reject the summons of the Vice-President of the House of Representatives because they are outside his powers. I also completely reject government running through tweets from political leaders.
7- I am a minister in a sovereign ministry. I worked in very difficult circumstances for nearly two years. I believe I have succeeded in managing the finances of the country, nurturing the economy towards a degree of safety.
8- I had to make many difficult decisions, including my strong call for an exchange rate adjustment. The decision was supported by the international community, the Council of Ministers, the Central Bank of Iraq and political parties in two separate meetings with their leadership, which was approved by the House of Representatives in February 2021. I made it clear that the costs of adjusting the currency would be immediate; But the benefits will appear in the medium and long term.
9- In order to protect the poor, a huge increase for the poor and vulnerable has been included in the 2021 budget, amounting to nearly 3 trillion Iraqi dinars to be disbursed through the Ministry of Labor. This unfortunately was curtailed by the House of Representatives in the final budget.
10- After a year we can evaluate the benefits of the exchange rate adjustment, which are very real. But the politicization of the exchange rate, making it responsible for high prices.
11- (High prices) This is a deliberate lie and the people should be aware of it. International prices for all goods and freight have risen dramatically in the past year.
12- Wheat, cooking oil, sugar and fertilizer multiplied many times over. This is about the collapse of the global supply chain and not anything about exchange rate adjustment. Instead of focusing on the real reason for the price hike, people are being fed nonsense about the exchange rate as the source of the cost of living increase we have seen over the past year.
13- I am ready to defend my position and my economic and financial policy before the House of Representatives as a whole and not in front of a particular parliamentary faction.
14- I demand the exercise of my rights under the Iraqi constitution, and I seek a vote of confidence in me by the House of Representatives. I have this right under Article 61/8 of the Constitution. “It is not permissible to raise the issue of confidence in a minister except upon his request or upon a request signed by fifty members....”
15- I will write to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and ask him to take this vote of confidence early. I will also ask him to give me one hour to explain my policies to the House before the vote takes place.
16- Since I was in the government, I have been subjected to a barrage of attacks and personal slanders both in social media and by politicians and some who call themselves analysts and media commentators. I have ignored all this mischief because it is based on lies or slander or ignorance
17- When the leader of a great political party treats me lightly as one of his followers, I must reject it completely. I know the Sadrists voted for me when I was first nominated for the position of Finance Minister, and they have stood by me through many crises including defending the exchange rate adjustment. I freely admit this, but this does not give them the right to address me as a servant at their request and invitation.
18- Attacks continue my family. I don't brag about my family lineage. But my family has given so much to this country. We have been citizens of Baghdad for hundreds of years. As the Allawi family, we have provided more ministers to Iraqi governments since independence than any other family. Six ministers and one prime minister. If we include the families close to us, Chalabi, the number will rise with four more ministers and one deputy prime minister. My great uncle Hussein Allawi signed a petition to bring Faisal I to Iraq.
19- Our family is completely Iraqi. We do not differentiate between Shiites and Sunnis, Christians and Yazidis. We do not differentiate between an Arab, a Kurd or a Turkmen. In my personal entourage, I am guarded by the Kurds, my personal secretary is among the Sunni brothers, and my personal office in the ministry is headed by a Shiite woman of high religious principles. We are not talking about diversity.
20- We have been supporters of the reference for centuries, and we respect the great religious families with the highest degree of esteem, and no member of my family has been contaminated with corruption or wrongdoing. They were motivated by real service with no concern for reward or benefit. I hope I have continued in this long approach.
21- We will not abandon this country in the face of bullying, pressure or threats. We have always stood against tyranny in any form or kind, and we will continue to do so.
Yesterday, Thursday, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, presented six proposals regarding the dollar exchange rate, including summoning the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Central Bank immediately under the dome of Parliament. Ended 29/R77
