[size=45]After Nuri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law coalition and one of the most prominent leaders of the Coordination Framework Alliance, opponent of Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the strong Sadrist movement in Iraq, refused to dissolve parliament, the leader in the coordination framework, the head of the victory coalition, Haider al-Abadi, said that al-Maliki's call to "leave the issue of a solution." Parliament,” and speeding up the formation of the government, is like calling for a breaking of the will in the country.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Abadi wrote in a tweet on his Twitter account, "Any path based on breaking the will will be a disaster for the people and the state."[/size]
[size=45]He also called for "a political agreement that leads to the current phase being considered transitional, starting with the formation of a government and ending with the dissolution of parliament and early elections," a proposal that converges to some extent with what al-Sadr proposed a few days ago in terms of forming a transitional government that would sponsor the elections.[/size]
[size=45]He concluded, stressing that "the interests of the people and the stability of the state are higher and more valuable than any partisan or factional interest."[/size]
[size=45]This position came, after al-Maliki confirmed in a tweet yesterday that "there are no early elections until after the parliament resumes its sessions, and the formation of a new government with full powers," in complete rejection of al-Sadr's proposal.[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Sadrist movement had called a few days ago for his allies and independent parliamentarians to withdraw from it so that it "loses its legitimacy and dissolves directly."[/size]
[size=45]He also suggested that the President of the Republic remain in office after the House of Representatives is dissolved, provided that the current Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, lead a transitional or interim government to conduct business and supervise early elections.[/size]
[size=45]However, Sadr's allies, Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi, and Kurdistan Democratic Party Chairman Masoud Barzani, yesterday refused to dissolve parliament, calling for early elections after the formation of the government.[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that Iraq has witnessed, since the early parliamentary elections, which took place on the tenth of last October (2021), a complete political paralysis, which has worsened more since last July, with the two sides of the most prominent dispute taking to the street and their sit-in in the center of Baghdad (Al-Sadr and the coordination framework that includes Nuri al-Maliki). The Al-Fateh Alliance and other factions and parties known for their loyalty to Iran).[/size]
[size=45]The dispute reached its climax with the Sadrist movement's demand two months ago to dissolve the parliament and hold early legislative elections in order to move the country on the path of reforms in light of its opponents' rejection of this approach, and their insistence on forming a government before any new elections.[/size]
[size=45]The dispute developed late last month into violent clashes between the two parties in central Baghdad, killing 30 people, and opening the doors to the possibility of a dangerous re-escalation in the country.[/size]
