[size=45]Various political parties confirm that the solution to the problems between the federal government and the Kurdistan region begins with expediting the approval of the budget at fair proportions that depend on population density, and then the next stage comes with the legislation of the disputed oil and gas law, which is supposed to be passed during the first year of the life of the government of Muhammad Shia.

[size=45]The relationship between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region has witnessed some tensions, especially after the Federal Supreme Court issued a decision stating that it is unconstitutional to send an amount of 200 billion dinars as salaries to the region’s employees per month, in a judicial position that complicated the political crisis, according to officials in the Kurdistan region.[/size]
[size=45]However, there are positive signs that have emerged at the present time through the inclusion of all the rights of the region in the budget law.[/size]
[size=45]This comes in conjunction with the announcement of the spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government, Jutiar Adel, that a delegation from the regional government will soon visit the capital, Baghdad.[/size]
[size=45]Adel said in a press conference held in Erbil last Thursday that the aim of the delegation's visit will be to continue dialogues with officials in Baghdad, with the aim of resolving all outstanding issues with the federal government, and resolving the issue of the region's entitlement from the financial budget for the year 2023.[/size]
[size=45]He added that the Council of Ministers discussed the issue of relations with Baghdad, in the meeting held on Wednesday, noting that “the regional government and the federal government have reached understandings regarding legal texts, and there are several other files, including Article 140 of the Constitution, and legislation that we consider important and must be resolved.” According to the timetable set for it, according to the political agreement that resulted in the formation of the federal government, and as stipulated in the constitution.[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the representative of the coordination framework, Thaer Makhaif, said, in a statement to (Al-Mada), that "the differences between the federal government and the Kurdistan region are inherited and go back to the past years, and have not reached decisive solutions until the present time."[/size]
[size=45]He added, "Kurdish parties may set non-objective conditions before voting on any government to be formed, in terms of the percentage of the Kurdistan region, dealing mechanisms, oil, natural resources and border crossings."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that, at the current stage, we look forward to the existence of mutual trust for everyone to feel that they are partners, with the necessity of leaving difficult demands to be achieved.[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "the combined forces in the state administration coalition are ready to vote on the oil and gas law, and this was mentioned in the platform of the government of Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani."[/size]
[size=45]And he reported, "Al-Sudani expressed his seriousness in resolving all oil disputes with the Kurdistan region, as is the case with regard to financial and other issues related to the political side."[/size]
[size=45]And he believes that "many challenges stand before the government, including reforming what was corrupted by previous eras, and therefore he is moving towards resolving differences with the region in order to proceed with his ministerial approach."[/size]
[size=45]And he stressed, "Some of the demands related to the share of the region may sometimes be illogical, and we want them to be put in a fair manner and consistent with the number of residents."[/size]
[size=45]And Makhaif called for “making the region’s share at about 12%, according to what was previously established,” stressing “the need not to increase it.”[/size]
[size=45]And he talked about "the importance of implementing the political agreements that took place during the formation of the government, but on the condition that they agree with the constitution and do not go beyond its provisions."[/size]
[size=45]He concluded, "Parliament will resume its sessions after it completes all its committees in terms of electing the head of the remaining committees and his two deputies, and after that it will move towards passing important laws, especially those included in the ministerial curriculum."[/size]
[size=45]In addition, former MP Jassim Muhammad Jaafar believes that “the oil and gas law needs to be resolved for about 3 months or more, given the continuing problems over the draft between the various political forces.”[/size]
[size=45]Jaafar continued, "The reason for the delay is due to the difference of views between the government and the Kurdistan region, and this has not been resolved until now."[/size]
[size=45]He emphasized that "attempts to pass this law are not new, but that the government submitted a draft between 2007 and 2008, but it was not passed due to the region's objections."[/size]
[size=45]And Jaafar continues, “The priority will be to approve the budget law, as it is in the interest of everyone,” stressing that “all related to this law may have ended, especially with regard to allocating a sum of money for the implementation of Article 140 of the Constitution regarding the disputed areas and the issue of salaries, at a rate that may reach To 14% allocated to the Kurdistan region or a little less ».[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Sharif Suleiman, said in a statement to (Al-Mada) that in “the stage that preceded the formation of the government, the dialogues within the State Administration coalition witnessed agreements on various outstanding issues.”[/size]
[size=45]Suleiman continued, "One of these agreements is related to granting the Kurdistan region a fair and equitable budget, with the need not to exploit the law for political matters."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "all controversial issues were agreed to transfer their solution until after the approval of the oil and gas law, but with giving the region a fair share at this stage without political pressure."[/size]
[size=45]Suleiman said, "The region only wants to obtain its rights according to population density," warning against resorting to "using the region's share in the budget for political purposes."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "The dialogues between the Kurdistan Region and the federal government are continuing and have not witnessed major obstacles, and the two parties will go to determine the percentage according to the ministerial platform that was voted on by Parliament."[/size]
[size=45]Suleiman concluded, "All contentious issues related to the salaries of the Kurdistan region can be addressed through the budget law, and then we agree on that in the oil and gas law."[/size]
[size=45]Last week, Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani received Vice President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Qubad Talabani, in Baghdad.[/size]
[size=45]According to a government statement, "The meeting witnessed a discussion of the general situation in the country, and emphasized the continuation of coordination between the federal government and the regional government, in order to achieve understandings in many files, and solve existing problems, in a way that enhances stability and achieves the public interest of the country."[/size]
