Baghdad: Muhannad Abdel Wahhab
Reactions are still ongoing regarding the decision of the Federal Supreme Court regarding the illegality of financial transfers from the former and current federal government to the Kurdistan region, due to the latter's failure to send 250,000 barrels of oil per day to Baghdad, while members of the House of Representatives stressed that the court's decisions are above political agreements and must Commitment to it, others called for the need to expedite the completion of the oil and gas law to stave off differences between the center and the region, at a time when the Kurdistan Democratic Party criticized what it described as "the lack of commitment of the political forces" to the document signed by them when announcing the "state administration coalition" leading to the formation of the current government.
A member of the Sanad Parliamentary Bloc, Representative Faleh Khazali, said in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "The decisions of the Federal Court are binding on all parties," explaining that "the ministerial platform of the government of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani included resolving disputes with a timetable with the Kurdistan region."
And he indicated that "the problem is related to the oil supplied from the region, about which it was confirmed in official letters received by us through the (SOMO) company that some of it is destined for Israel, and this is contrary to the Iraqi laws in force and deserves criminalization, as well as the border crossings in the region and its revenues from which nothing has reached the government." Iraqi.
He stressed that "all these issues must be presented to the discussion table and resolved with the Kurdistan region as federal issues." He added, "We are on the verge of the 2023 budget, which must clearly and explicitly include resolving differences with the region, giving rights and achieving social justice for all Iraqi people."
He pointed out that "the decisions of the Federal Court are above political agreements, and they are binding decisions, and the Kurdistan region did not abide by all the decisions and anything related to the court's decisions and the budget law, and we have 20 border outlets in the region that we did not receive anything from its revenues."
While a member of the Finance Committee, Jamal Cougar, explained in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that “our political problems are very many and we should focus on urgent issues, including the issue of the dollar price and the issue of sending the budget, as well as the political agreements included between the forces (the State Administration Coalition) are also urgent.” Including the Oil and Gas Law and Article 140 as well.
He pointed out that "if there are issues related to amending the constitution, we can proceed with them, and amending the constitution requires a popular referendum," adding that "the defect is not in the constitution but in its implementation, as we have 52 articles in the constitution that were not regulated by law, and there are many Among the issues that we see that the government is not serious about resolving, foremost of which is the legislation of the oil and gas law.
The representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc, Majid Shankali, stated in an interview with "Al-Sabah" that "the oil and gas law is one of the provisions of the political agreement and the ministerial platform between the political blocs, especially those that form the (state administration coalition), and it must be worked on, proceeded with and legislated within six months." He added, however, that the law is mature so that we do not go back to amending it again and that it serves the Iraqi people from Zakho to Al-Faw.
He added that "Prime Minister Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani's statement upon his visit to France was very positive, when he announced that he would work to solve the problem of financial transfers to the region in the budget, and also his confirmation of working to legislate the oil and gas law," adding that "these are positive signs to support stability in Baghdad and the region." ".
The representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Bloc, Sherif Suleiman, agrees with the speech of Representative Shankali, as he says: "All the political blocs participating in the political process signed the political document and stressed the necessity of approving the Federal Court and oil and gas laws, given that the current stage is the stage of agreement and rapprochement between the government Federal and Kurdistan region.
He added, "The political parties did not abide by the political document that was signed when forming (the State Administration Coalition) and contributed to the formation of the current government," pointing out that "the document provides for the approval of the Federal Court Law and the resolution of disputes between the federal and regional governments."
On the other hand, the independent Kurdish politician, Saber Ismail, said: "The recent decision of the Federal Supreme Court is based on the Iraqi constitution in the supreme interest of Iraq, because this court wants the governments of Baghdad and Erbil to fully adhere to the constitution to guarantee the rights of its citizens and not in the interest of the parties that formed the two governments," calling on the government The region to "comply with the decisions of the Federal Court."
