[size=45]Yesterday, Wednesday, the leaders of the coordination framework failed to convince the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, to change his position in forming a national majority government, and they talked about new rounds of dialogue that will be held in the coming days between the two parties in Najaf. Al-Sadr had hosted a meeting at his residence in Hananah yesterday afternoon, which included the leader of the Al-Fateh Alliance Hadi Al-Amiri, the leader of the Ahl al-Haq movement, Qais Khazali, and the head of the Popular Mobilization Authority, Faleh Al-Fayyad.[/size]
[size=45]Absent from the meeting was the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, who was present at the first meeting between al-Sadr and the coordination framework in Baghdad about a month ago.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday's meeting did not come out with a joint statement or a press conference, and perhaps this reflects the failure to reach tangible results, and the failure of the framework to persuade al-Sadr to change his position and return to consensus.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sadr renewed his previous position with a tweet followed by (Al-Mada), which reads: “A national majority government, neither eastern nor western,” in reference to his rejection of US and Iranian interference. But Al-Amiri said in a statement that Al-Mada followed, that "the meeting was positive and responsible, based on the strong state's interest and success in the next stage."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Amiri spoke about “the completion of the discussion of guarantees of success in building the state, and in the coming days, we will have a return to Najaf again.”[/size]
[size=45]For his part, a spokesman for the Political Bureau of the Ahl al-Haq Movement, Mahmoud al-Rubaie, said in a statement followed by (Al-Mada), that "the meeting of the leaders of the coordination framework with al-Sadr was positive, fruitful and responsible."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rubaie continued, "Soon meetings and dialogues will be held to achieve what serves Iraq and the Iraqis," and believed that "the strength and unification of the largest component is the best way to strengthen Iraq and achieve its sovereignty."[/size]
[size=45]On a related level, a member of the Victory Coalition, Aqeel Al-Rudaini, stated, in a statement to (Al-Mada), that "the coordinating framework formed a number of delegations to listen to the views of the political forces."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Rudaini added, "The meeting with Al-Sadr falls within this tour. After a delegation headed by Al-Maliki went to the Kurdistan region, the turn came to visit Najaf with a delegation headed by Al-Amiri."[/size]
[size=45]He explained, "The meeting with the Sunni blocs represented by the Alliance of Progress was through a delegation headed by the leader of the Victory Alliance, Haider al-Abadi," noting that "the aim of the meetings is to come up with a similar and unified vision in order to get out of the political blockage and proceed with the process of selecting presidencies and agreeing on the most important strategic points." Which has previous problems and has been transferred between the various political forces.”[/size]
[size=45]Political expert Ziad Al-Arar said, in an interview with Al-Mada, that "the real consultations between the political forces began yesterday with a meeting of Al-Hanana between the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada Al-Sadr, and leaders in the coordinating framework, namely Hadi Al-Amiri, Qais Al-Khazali and Faleh Al-Fayyad."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Arar continued, "These meetings seriously address the mechanism of state administration in the next stage and the process of forming a government." He pointed out, "The Sadrist movement is still sticking to its position that it presented before the elections that Iraq should have a political majority government, which al-Sadr described in a tweet to him after the meeting as neither eastern nor western."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Arar indicated that "Al-Sadr's words are clear that he refuses to interfere in the formation of the government, whether from the western front represented by the United States of America or the eastern front represented by Iran."[/size]
[size=45]And he noted, “Iraq is now facing constitutional times, and the Sadrist movement will continue to present its vision to the political forces,” stressing that “whoever agrees with the Sadrists in the proposal and vision will be a partner in managing the state for the next stage, and whoever objects will go to the opposition.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Arar continued, "The general framework that we are talking about now is the presence of a strong opposition front, and the Sadrist movement may be present in it if it is not able to form a government according to the mechanism promised by its audience and the Iraqi people in general."[/size]
[size=45]And he spoke about "a crossroads facing Iraq on the basis of a new form of state administration, and this is the important matter that meets the aspirations of the Iraqi citizen who went out in demonstrations that contributed to the dissolution of parliament and the holding of early elections."[/size]
[size=45]And he denies, "The Sadrist movement has placed conditions on the political forces, whether from within the Shiite component or from the national space, but there is a government-political project to manage the state that al-Sadr put forward as the first winner in the elections."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Arar went on to say, "The Sadrists' insistence is clear on their position, and not succumb to any pressure, whether at the internal or external levels, and they want to put in place a national project capable of improving the situation and achieving reform." A few days ago, the Federal Supreme Court rejected Hadi Al-Amiri's suit to challenge the elections, while it decided to ratify the results, in preparation for the holding of the first parliamentary session within two weeks.[/size]
[size=45]The elections that took place on the tenth of last October resulted in a big victory for the Sadrist movement with 74 seats, while the coordination framework forces lost many of their seats compared to the previous elections.[/size]
