[size=45]Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, denied that he had sent a message to the Coordination Framework Forces regarding the mechanism of participation in the next Iraqi government. While the dispute continues between the two main parties in the Kurdistan region (the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union) regarding the position of the President of the Republic, the headquarters of the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani in Erbil, announced that the latter did not send any message to the forces of the coordination framework, and he reiterated what Barzani confirmed a few days ago when he met deputies His party in the Federal Parliament said that the participation of the Democratic Party in the next government is based on achieving three basic demands, which are “balance, consensus and partnership.” While Barzani himself was accused by the coordination framework forces, as well as his rival, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan headed by Bafel Talabani, that he was the first to violate the concept of consensus when he joined the concept of the national majority government called by the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr, his new call to the framework forces regarding these concepts has not been received so far. We are attentive for more than one reason. According to what is being circulated in closed rooms and behind the scenes of informal meetings so far on how to form the next government, the coordination framework is now not in the process of writing the government program in order to study the conditions of other forces and political parties whose participation in the next government is hoped.
On the other hand, the PUK's circles see that the logic of alliances governs the way of dealing with partners. According to what was reported by Asharq Al-Awsat, a politician close to the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, "When the Kurdistan Democratic Party was an ally of Sadr in the (Save a Homeland) coalition, these terms did not appear in his political speech, as all his concern was to pass his candidate for the presidency and he was speaking About a plan on how to activate the position of the President of the Republic, away from consensus, partnership and balance, knowing that the position of the President of the Republic is federal, as is well known. The politician, who asked not to be named, adds that “the main goal of changing the pattern of Kurdistan’s democratic discourse is his feeling that the alliance between the forces of the coordination framework and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan is solid. In the political arena, they are now forced to support any candidate put forward by the union, including Saleh himself. The politician continues, saying, “The Kurdistan Democratic Party is in fact the biggest loser from the collapse of saving a homeland, and after the withdrawal of al-Sadr began to feel that he had lost the opportunity to compete with the PUK, even if the scenario of 2018 was repeated because the situation had changed and therefore he had no choice but to focus on the demands of the region because the region’s elections At the door, and marketing these demands within the region may be part of a discourse that the party will develop against its rival, the National Union, even if it obtains the position of President of the Republic for the fifth time in 18 years.”[/size]
