On Friday, the National Approach bloc announced that it was boycotting the parliament session devoted to voting on the general budget law.
[size=15]The bloc attributed in a press conference held within the media department in the House of Representatives, attended by the correspondent of NRT Arabia (19 March 2021), that "the budget to be voted on includes many disasters against citizens."[/size]
[size=15]The bloc confirmed that it "demanded the restoration of the exchange rate and compensation for those affected by this decision, as well as our request to cancel Article 38 to allow the participation of contractors, oil and aviation."[/size]
[size=15]The bloc pointed out that "the current deficit in the budget has reached about 27 trillion, " rejecting "the proposal to cut the ration card for those with income of one million dinars."[/size]
[size=15]The text of the statement follows:[/size]
[size=15]In the name of the Most High[/size]
[size=15]The National Approach bloc: We announce our boycott of the budget voting session, because it includes economic and social catastrophic paragraphs and for the lack of equity in the central and southern governorates compared to the region.[/size]
[size=15]—————————————[/size]
[size=15]Because the parliament did not respond to the fundamental amendments that we demanded, so we announce our boycott of the voting session on the 2021 budget, and we hold others responsible and the consequences of it economically and socially:[/size]
[size=15]And we remind you of the most important amendments that we proposed:[/size]
[size=15]1- Restoring the exchange rate to what it was previously, as the damages of this decision became clear early, and the Finance Committee suggested allocating (500) billion dinars as compensation to contractors contracting with the government for the price difference, and the first is to notice the harm to millions of Iraqis who are poor and included in the social welfare network and those with limited income. And all of these damages necessitate the return of the exchange rate to its previous state.[/size]
[size=15]2- Abolishing Article (38) which permits the privatization of all the state’s production and service sectors and permits the participation of investors and contractors in the ownership of oil and gas fields, power stations, Iraqi Airways aircraft and government banks.[/size]
[size=15]3- Abolishing the two articles (42 and 41) that allow the sale of state-owned agricultural lands to those with the right to dispose of them at a value much less than its real value, and it will create widespread social conflicts.[/size]
[size=15]4- Abolishing Article 47 that permits the sale of the state’s financial assets, including industrial, infrastructure, and others.[/size]
[size=15]5- That the deficit does not exceed 3% of the GDP, meaning that it does not exceed 7 trillion Iraqi dinars.[/size]
[size=15]6- Expanding the titles of sovereign expenditures to include (the Ministry of Oil, Transport and Water Resources, and the inclusion of the security and defense sector in all its ministries and institutions, as well as the emergency reserve).[/size]
[size=15]7- We reject the proposal to withhold the ration card for a family whose monthly income is one million dinars, and we demand that it be increased to include withholding only those whose monthly income exceeds two million dinars.[/size]
[size=15]8- We present the proposal of the approach block on the articles of the region ...[/size]
[size=15]A- Abolishing the first paragraph of Article (11) that calculates the dues of the Kurdistan region for the previous years from 2014 to 2019 despite not having delivered the oil and non-oil revenues.[/size]
[size=15]B - Paragraph Second - A of Article (11) is amended to be (the region is obligated to deliver no less than 460,000 barrels per day to SOMO, and in the event that its production exceeds this amount, it is obligated to deliver it also to the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO).[/size]
[size=15]C- Adding Article Seven of the Current Deficit Financing Law (determining the Kurdistan region’s share of the total actual spending (current expenditures and investment project expenditures) after excluding the sovereign expenditures specified in the Federal Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the fiscal year 2021) and adding the expenditures of the Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Resources Water and the inclusion of the security and defense sector in all its ministries and institutions to be included in the sovereign expenditures as well as the contingency reserve) provided that the Kurdistan region is committed to handing over at least (460) thousand barrels per day to the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO) exclusively, as well as the delivery of Mazad on those quantities and all non-oil revenues In the event of failure by the region, the expenses may not be paid to the region, and the violator of this text bears the legal responsibility.[/size]
[size=15]D- Paragraph Three (a, b, and c) that obliges the federal authorities to pay the region’s loans and financial obligations that it entered into in the years (2014 to 2019) shall be canceled.[/size]
[size=15]E - Article (11 - third) - to be reformulated (the region is obligated to pay the loans owed to the Iraqi Trade Bank)[/size]
[size=15]9- Obliging the mobile phone companies to pay their fines and financial obligations within thirty days, otherwise the license is withdrawn from them and reviewing the contracts concluded with them in order to achieve the lifting of unfairness from the Iraqi state and achieve the highest economic benefit for it.[/size]
[size=15]10- Canceling the oil licensing rounds and replacing them with a formula that achieves the highest benefit to the Iraqi state and eliminates previous injustice[/size]
[size=15]11- Abolishing the salary deduction for public employees and increasing the tax on senior officials, special ranks, general managers and those of their grade.[/size]
[size=15]12- We oppose continuing with foreign loans, as they have far-reaching effects on the country's sovereignty and economy.[/size]
[size=15]13- To oblige the Ministry of Electricity to review investment contracts for electricity production stations in a manner that guarantees the lifting of injustice against the Iraqi state.[/size]
[size=15]14- We reject the proposal of the Ministry of Health to contract with private sector companies to run newly constructed hospitals.[/size]
[size=15]15- We reject the additive article that requires the Ministry of Education to invite the private sector to implement the printing of textbooks, and we suggest restricting it to public state companies only.[/size]
[size=15]16- Rejection of the article that allows the governorates to contract with developers because they will witness secondary speculation on the one hand. Through these projects, the citizen will be charged the cost of constructing the health services infrastructure, electricity, water and sewage streams to increase the profits of the developers (investors) !!! .[/size]
[size=15]Note that these objections represent part of a total of forty essential requirements that are necessary to amend the 2021 budget.[/size]
