Today, Saturday, the Iraqi parliament is supposed to resume holding its sessions after the end of its legislative recess, which lasted for more than a month, amid an accumulation of suspended laws since several parliamentary sessions, and political differences over them.
And on the eighth of last December, the second legislative term for the first legislative year of the parliament ended, and it entered a vacation that was reduced to only one month.
According to the rules of procedure of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, the legislative year of the parliament is supposed to hold 64 sessions, divided by 32 sessions in each legislative season, and this is taking into account the holiday between the two legislative terms, but only 27 sessions were held during the first year, most of which were in last November.
Askar pointed out that "the House of Representatives has failed a lot in its work during the past months due [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] over the formation of the new Iraqi government, and that these differences have disrupted the legislative and oversight work of the Council, and therefore there is a determination to activate this work during the coming period, in order to compensate for the disruption." Parliamentary sessions and actions during the past months.

For his part, Sharif Salman, a representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “The House of Representatives will face a legislative season in which the process of enacting important laws will intensify, in accordance with the political agreements between the allied forces in the State Administration Coalition (the Coordinating Framework Coalition, the Coordinating Forces, Kurdish, and the Sovereignty Alliance), especially the budget law as well as the oil and gas law, which will be the solution to all financial and oil disputes between Baghdad and Erbil.
He stressed that "the House of Representatives will work to legislate laws that have been postponed since previous parliamentary sessions, due to the lack of political consensus on them, as their legislation during the next stage is necessary and important, because there is a political consensus between the large political forces allied in the state administration coalition, which is formed for the government, and which owns the majority." parliamentarians in the House of Representatives.
The political forces are awaiting the adoption of laws according to what was agreed upon prior to the formation of the government. The leader of the Sovereignty Alliance, Hassan al-Jubouri, said, in a phone call to The New Arab, that "according to the political agreement, following which the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] there will be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] release innocent people in prisons, and work towards dissolving the commission. " Accountability and justice, and that this step also requires parliamentary action, and this is what we will work on during the upcoming sessions.
He added, "Resolving the presidency of the permanent parliamentary committees will require meetings between the political forces to divide those presidencies among the blocs and parties, and then go towards choosing a chairman and two deputies for each committee chairman." He explained that "the first step to resolving this file will be through the distribution of new deputies, replacements of the Sadrist bloc to the permanent parliamentary committees, as these deputies are still outside the committees."
The Legal Committee in the Iraqi Parliament had revealed earlier that there are 170 suspended laws from previous parliamentary sessions, which are currently being discussed and attempted to be included on the agenda of parliament sessions for voting, amid assurances that these laws are not passed without political consensus.
The obstruction of laws in terms of approval or amendment is due to the absence of political consensus regarding many of them, such as budget laws, amending employee salaries, oil and gas, compulsory recruitment, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and others.
