[size=45]A PREVIOUS MEETING BETWEEN AL-SADR AND BARHAM SALIH (THE OFFICE OF THE LEADER OF THE SADRIST MOVEMENT)[/size]
[size=45]THE FILE OF CHOOSING THE NEW IRAQI PRESIDENT HAS RETURNED TO THE FORE, AFTER MONTHS OF FAILURE TO HOLD A SESSION OF THE IRAQI PARLIAMENT TO CHOOSE A PRESIDENT AND FORM A NEW GOVERNMENT, AS THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FAILED THE NECESSARY QUORUM TEST IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY DUE TO THE BOYCOTT OF THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK AND THE NATIONAL UNION FOR THE SESSIONS AT THAT TIME TO BE WHAT THEY CALLED THE “BLOCKING THIRD”.[/size]
[size=45]THE IRAQI CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THE PRESENCE OF TWO-THIRDS OF PARLIAMENT MEMBERS, OR ABOUT 220 DEPUTIES, TO START THE SESSION TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, A CONDITION STRESSED BY THE FEDERAL COURT IN AN INTERPRETATION IT REVEALED LAST FEBRUARY, WHICH PARALYZED THE POLITICAL PROCESS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.[/size]
[size=45]CHEST ATTACK[/size]
[size=45]THE INDICATORS WERE HEADING TO RENEW THE MANDATE OF THE CURRENT PRESIDENT, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , FOR A SECOND TERM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE STRONG SUPPORT OF THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK AND A NUMBER OF SUNNI AND INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVES AND THE PATRIOTIC UNION OF KURDISTAN FOR HIS CHOICE, BUT A TWEET BY THE LEADER OF THE SADRIST MOVEMENT [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] TURNED THE SCALES.[/size]
[size=45]AL-SADR ATTACKED SALEH IN HIS TWEET, ACCUSING HIM OF NOT RATIFYING THE LAW PREVENTING A PEACE AGREEMENT WITH ISRAEL, CALLING FOR HIS DISMISSAL FROM HIS POSITION AND NOT CHOOSING HIM AGAIN, AND WORKING TO CHOOSE A NATIONAL FIGURE FOR THIS POSITION, WHICH PUT THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK AND THEIR ALLIES IN GREAT TROUBLE IF THEY INSIST ON CHOOSING SALEH, ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF THEIR FAN BASES ARE AN ISSUE THAT THE FRAMEWORK USES FREQUENTLY AND ON A DAILY BASIS FOR DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION.[/size]
[size=45]AL-SADR SAID, "IT IS VERY SHAMEFUL THAT THE SO-CALLED PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ: (BARHAM) REFUSED TO SIGN THE LAW 'CRIMINALIZING PEACE WITH ISRAEL'." HE ADDED, "IT WOULD BE SHAMEFUL FOR THE PEOPLE IF THEIR PRESIDENT IS NOT PATRIOTIC, BUT RATHER SUBSERVIENT TO THE WEST OR THE EAST."[/size]
[size=45]HE ADDED, "I ABSOLVE HIM OF THIS CRIME BEFORE GOD AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE, AND I REGRET HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE PRESIDENCY BEFORE AND AFTER."[/size]
[size=45]WHILE THE PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC RESPONDED QUICKLY, YESTERDAY, TO THE LEADER OF THE SADRIST MOVEMENT, AND THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC STATED IN A STATEMENT, “THE PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC HAD PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED THE DRAFT LAW CRIMINALIZING PEACE SENT BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPLETING THE PROCEDURES FOR ITS ISSUANCE AND APPROVAL, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS FOLLOWED BY THE BEFORE THE PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC FOR THE LAWS ENACTED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. AND HE HAD DIRECTED HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, BARHAM SALIH, TO DEAL WITH THIS LAW IN THE FORM SENT BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, AND IT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE IRAQI GAZETTE ON JUNE 20, 2022, TO ENTER INTO FORCE.[/size]
[size=45][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, BARHAM SALIH, AS IS WELL KNOWN, IS FIRM AND SUPPORTIVE OF THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE AND THE ATTAINMENT OF THE FULL LEGITIMATE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE AND THE LIBERATION OF THEIR HOMELAND .[/size]
[size=45]THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTED ON A PROPOSED LAW CRIMINALIZING PEACE WITH ISRAEL LAST MAY, WITH PRESSURE AND INSISTENCE FROM MUQTADA AL-SADR, THAT INCLUDED PROSECUTIONS AND SEVERE SENTENCES FOR ANYONE WHO DEALS WITH TEL AVIV, AS WELL AS ALLOWING RELIGIOUS VISITS FOR IRAQIS TO JERUSALEM WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE MINISTER OF INTERIOR OR THE VISIT OF JEWS TO IRAQ ALSO WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE IRAQI AUTHORITIES.[/size]
[size=45]IRAQ REFUSES TO ESTABLISH ANY RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL AMID GREAT POLITICAL SUPPORT FOR THIS MATTER, AND THE LEADER OF THE SADRIST MOVEMENT AT THE TIME CALLED HIS SUPPORTERS TO TAKE TO THE STREETS TO CELEBRATE THE VOTE ON THE LAW “CRIMINALIZING A PEACE AGREEMENT WITH ISRAEL.”[/size]
[size=45]IN ADDITION, POLITICAL ANALYST ALI AL-BAYDAR CONSIDERED THAT AL-SADR IS BURNING SALEH’S PAPER FOR HIS ASSUMPTION OF THE PRESIDENCY, SAYING, “IT SEEMS THAT HE WILL DEAL ACCORDING TO THIS PRINCIPLE DURING THE NEXT STAGE, WITH ANY FIGURE HE IS NOT SATISFIED WITH OR WHO IS CLOSE TO THE FORCES OF THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK.”[/size]
[size=45]CHEST EMBARRASSED FRAME[/size]
[size=45]POLITICAL AND ACADEMIC RESEARCHER ISSAM AL-FAILI CONSIDERED THAT AL-SADR'S TWEET ABORTED SALEH'S FORTUNES IN THE PRESIDENCY, AND EMBARRASSED THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK THAT CRIMINALIZES PEACE WITH ISRAEL.[/size]
[size=45]HE ADDED THAT "MUQTADA AL-SADR'S TWEET DID NOT COME OUT OF NOWHERE, BUT RATHER AFTER LEAKS ABOUT THE AGREEMENT OF THE PATRIOTIC UNION OF KURDISTAN AND THE KURDISTAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO ENTER CANDIDATES IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SESSION," NOTING THAT "THE TWEET WILL EMBARRASS THE FORCES OF THE COORDINATION FRAMEWORK THAT INTENDS TO VOTE FOR BARHAM SALIH, AS IT REPEATEDLY ANNOUNCES ITS REJECTION OF PEACE." WITH ISRAEL.[/size]
[size=45]HE ADDED THAT AL-SADR PUT THOSE FORCES TO THE TEST, AND THIS POSITION WOULD SHOW WHO WAS SINCERE IN HIS ORIENTATIONS, OR USED INTERIM SLOGANS, ESPECIALLY THAT THE FRAMEWORK WAS ACCUSING ERBIL AND THE REST OF THE FORCES OF MAINTAINING RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL.[/size]
[size=45]AL-FAILI CONSIDERED THAT BARHAM SALIH'S CHANCES HAVE BECOME WEAK, AND THAT HE MAY BE REPLACED IN FAVOR OF A SETTLEMENT CANDIDATE, OR HE MAY ISSUE A DECISION TO CRIMINALIZE PEACE WITH ISRAEL, POINTING OUT THAT THESE POSSIBILITIES ARE A POLITICAL VICTORY FOR MUQTADA AL-SADR, DESPITE HIS ABSENCE IN THE POLITICAL SCENE.[/size]
[size=45]LACK OF AGREEMENT[/size]
[size=45]IN TURN, THE KURDISTAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONFIRMED THAT NO SOLUTION COULD BE REACHED WITH THE PATRIOTIC UNION OF KURDISTAN REGARDING THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BLOC, SHARIF SULEIMAN, SAID THAT "DIALOGUES AND DEBATES ARE STILL CONTINUING WITH THE PATRIOTIC UNION OF KURDISTAN REGARDING THE CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC," NOTING THAT "UNTIL NOW, WE HAVE NOT REACHED THE STAGE OF A SOLUTION OR AGREEMENT ON THE POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC."[/size]
[size=45]HE POINTED OUT THAT "THE LAST SCENARIO IS ENTERING THE PARLIAMENT SESSION WITH CANDIDATES FOR EACH CANDIDATE PARTY," NOTING THAT "THE FINAL DECISION WILL REMAIN IN THE HANDS OF THE IRAQI PARLIAMENT."[/size]
[size=45]THE HEAD OF THE SUPREME JUDICIAL COUNCIL, FAIQ ZEIDAN, HAD PREVIOUSLY CONFIRMED THAT NOT NAMING THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC SO FAR IS A CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION OF THE EXPIRY OF HIS LEGAL TERM.[/size]
[size=45]ZAIDAN SAID IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE GOVERNMENT NEWSPAPER "AL-SABAH" THAT "SEVERAL CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS HAVE OCCURRED AND ARE STILL ONGOING, THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS THE PASSAGE OF THE LEGAL PERIOD FOR NAMING A NEW PRESIDENT."[/size]
[size=45]HE ADDED THAT "SOME HAVE TAKEN RESORT TO THE FEDERAL COURT AS A MEANS OF MEDIA APPEARANCE AND REVIEW, SO THAT THEY RESORT TO APPEALING ANY DECISION OR LAW, EVEN IF IT IS NOT WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT."[/size]
[size=45]GOOD LUCK[/size]
[size=45]BUT THE PATRIOTIC UNION OF KURDISTAN BELIEVES THAT THE CHANCES OF ITS CANDIDATE, BARHAM SALIH, ARE STILL STRONG, DESPITE THE HARSH CRITICISM LEVELED AGAINST HIM BY AL-SADR. THE LEADER OF THE UNION, MAHMOUD KHOSHNAW, SAID THAT THE CHANCES OF HIS CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY ARE GREAT, BUT HE INDICATED THAT HIS BLOC DOES NOT MIND DECIDING THE PRESIDENCY BY VOTING IF THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES DO NOT AGREE.[/size]
[size=45]KHOSHNAW ADDED THAT THE PUK HOPES TO REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEMOCRAT, AND THAT THE CONSENSUS BETWEEN THEM WILL LEAD TO THE RENEWAL OF THE TERM OF PRESIDENT BARHAM SALIH, POINTING OUT THAT THE UNION DOES NOT MIND THAT BOTH THE DEMOCRAT AND THE UNION PRESENT THEIR CANDIDATES TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND THAT THE HOUSE WILL DECIDE THE MATTER BY VOTING, LIKELY THAT UNION CANDIDATE BARHAM SALIH WINS THE VOTE.[/size]
[size=45]REGARDING THE DIALOGUES AND UNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN THE OTHER BLOCS, HE EXPLAINED THAT "THE NATIONAL UNION HAS MANY UNDERSTANDINGS BASED ON POLITICAL BALANCES, AS IT WANTS A STRONG AND CAPABLE GOVERNMENT, AND THE PARTICIPANTS ARE STRONG, AND WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE GREAT POSITIVE RESULTS."[/size]
[size=45]KHOSHNAW ADDED THAT IRAQ IS NOT GOING THROUGH A CONSTITUTIONAL DEFECT BECAUSE THE FEDERAL COURT DECIDED THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK UNTIL A NEW PRESIDENT WAS ELECTED.[/size]
[size=45]2018 SCENARIO[/size]
[size=45]IN TURN, A MEMBER OF THE KURDISTAN JUSTICE GROUP, MP AHMED AL-HAJJ, SAID THAT THE SCENARIO OF 2018 WILL BE REPEATED IN CHOOSING THE POSITION OF PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ. HE ADDED, "THE UNION AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DID NOT REACH POSITIVE RESULTS REGARDING RESOLVING THE ISSUE OF CHOOSING THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, AND THEREFORE I EXPECT THAT WHOEVER CAN COLLECT THE MAJORITY OF VOTES WILL WIN THE POSITION."[/size]
[size=45]HE CONTINUED, "EACH PARTY IS HOLDING DISCUSSIONS REGARDING MOBILIZING SUPPORT FOR ITS CANDIDATE, AND THEREFORE I EXPECT A REPEAT OF THE SCENARIO OF THE ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC IN 2018," SUGGESTING THAT BARHAM SALIH WILL OBTAIN THE POSITION OF PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, AND MUSTAFA AL-KAZEMI WILL ASSUME THE POSITION OF PRIME MINISTER.[/size]
[size=45]THE TWO PARTIES, THE KURDISTAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE PATRIOTIC UNION, ENTERED THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SESSION IN 2018 WITH TWO CANDIDATES, FUAD HUSSEIN, THE CURRENT MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND BARHAM SALIH OF THE PATRIOTIC UNION OF KURDISTAN.[/size]
