Opinions on the extension and on his opinion to seek the Council of Representatives to extend its work, MP Faleh al-Khazali, in an interview for "morning", extending the life of parliament "dangerous precedent," indicating that the extension means that anyone who did not win the confidence of the people may agree at the last meeting on Extended survival. He explained that the parliament and through his first deputy inquired from the Federal Court on the extension of the life of parliament in the first month of this year The court clearly stated that the life of parliament is four years and therefore the extension is illegal or constitutional, but the justification is also illegal because waiting for the completion of the count Sorting is not one of his tasks. "The interpretation of the Federal Court and article 56 of the Constitution is that the parliamentarians are working for four years, whether paid salaries or not, indicating that the decision to vote on the extension of the work of parliament is incorrect and unconstitutional. In turn, between the member of the House of Representatives Taha defense that if the parliament voted to extend its work, some political forces will challenge the decision in the Federal Court for being a dangerous precedent. He said the defense, for "morning", that the extension of the life of parliament is contrary to Article 56 of the Constitution, which set the duration of the parliamentary session four years beginning from the first session and ends after four years at the same time to be held before the 45 days of the end of the four years, Had an opinion six months ago to extend because of the lack of completion of the procedures of the Commission and the response of the Federal Court is clear that the possibility of extension. The defense said that the parliament started from the principle that the Federal Court in its latest decision said the House of Representatives to take some measures to address the process of counting and sorting and monitoring and follow-up to the parliament called for extension, noting that the extension paragraph is not mentioned in the Constitution because the parliament is governed by a constitutional article set four years old. Ahmed al-Haj Rashid, a member of parliament, went to the opinion of his colleagues and promised to extend the life of the parliament a dangerous precedent. Although he believes that the Constitution did not prevent the extension, but pointed out that the current situation does not need to this extension. In an interview with al-Sabah, Rashid said that there is no provision in the constitution to prevent or authorize an extension despite differences in views of the age of parliament set by parliament in article 56, indicating that Faisal in this matter will be the federal court. In the meantime, accused the leader of the alliance of Sason, Haitham al-Lahibi, the House of Representatives to "circumvent" the results of the recent parliamentary elections, stressing that his alliance will challenge the decision to extend the work of the Council in the Federal Supreme Court. "The current parliament has left no means but to follow it in order to circumvent the election results and change it," he said in a press statement. "Parliament is adopting an illegal and unconstitutional approach today and seeks to extend its age as a legislative authority that works according to the agendas of the losers, . "If parliament succeeds in extending its life, we will take legal steps to curb that constitutional breach," he said. He stressed that "Sawson will go to appeal to the Federal Court on the legality of the extension, and with us a number of other blocs," explaining that "Sason consulted his legal advisers, on the appeal, and that the provisions of the law and the Constitution are all contrary to the extension, and does not allow it absolutely. On the other hand, the political analyst Jassim al-Moussawi said in a press statement that "the extension of the work of the parliament is not a constitutional right as the constitutional text sets the length of parliamentary work for four years, and Iraq does not need to extend the work of Parliament." While the legal expert, Tariq Harb, in a press statement that "the amendment of the Fourth Parliament on the election law to extend his life is illegal and is an amendment to the Constitution, which set the age of parliament four years from the date of the first meeting." "The amendment to the constitution needs a referendum, not a vote in parliament," he added, adding that "if the parliament passed the fourth amendment and extended his life, it will be vetoed by the Federal Court." He stressed that the life of the parliament ends on June 30, four years after the date of the first session.[/rtl] [rtl][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] [/rtl] |
