On Thursday, the head of the "State Forces" coalition, Ammar al-Hakim, warned against rivalry and disagreement, considering the gesture of approving the budget as "different from all previous budgets," while he warned against government employment that overwhelmed the Iraqi government and burdened the state and made us face a financial time bomb, as he put it. .

Al-Hakim said during the Eid al-Adha prayer sermon, followed by "Nass" (June 29, 2023), "We in Iraq are well aware of this issue...and we know the effects of rivalry and disagreement among the people of the same country...and we are working hard in all our political movements to confirm the importance of this Quartet and its role." In strengthening national unity and societal harmony, they are the key to reconstruction, construction and stability in a country like Iraq that is characterized by a multiplicity of races, nationalities, sects, religions and walks of life.
He added, "The government, parliament, and political forces are called upon to abide by the approach of unity, harmony, patience, and compassion. Whenever the dispute between us resolves, the more we retreat from developing the country and consolidating its stability and prosperity. There will be a way for disagreement between us, and when we are patient with challenges and hardships.. we will become stronger and we will win, and when we show mercy and cooperate.. mercy and blessings will embrace us, and then we will build a righteous society and a strong people.. that will not be shaken by fleeting storms.
Regarding the economic priority in political action, al-Hakim stated that "the country's budget has been approved for the next three years... and it is a different gesture from all previous budgets... The political forces agreed on this step in support of the government's stability." And enable it to move forward towards the country's economic reform path. Especially since an important part of the budget has been prepared for investment projects, most of which seek to complete lagging projects... which is a great opportunity for the government that must be invested as best as possible.
He continued, and since construction and reform are not possible without both political and financial stability.. Likewise, there is no value for any political or governmental action if it does not secure the interests of the people and achieve for them a decent life befitting them, and today .. after we have made long strides in building and sustaining a political process that sponsor completely the circumstances of Iraqi society and its priorities.
Al-Hakim said, "Our political system, despite the violent upheavals it was subjected to... was able to withstand and move towards completing and building a federal democratic system where law prevails and resorting to the constitution... The time has come to shift towards the economic process and focus political efforts and self-development." necessary for the success of this major reform process and its generalization in state institutions ".
He pointed out that "our foreign policy must be based on the goals and constants of the economic process, and our political and electoral programs must be based on the foundations of the economic process, its horizons and its ranges, and the government and parliamentary evaluation criteria must be based on the achievements of the economic process and its sound plans, as our priority must be economic." Our plans must be economic, and our programs must be economic, because the upcoming economic challenges and risks will be great and impactful, and we will not be able to face them without prior preparation for their repercussions and the ability to transform risks into real opportunities that can be invested and succeeded.
He said, "We may differ in the nature of the plans and in the mechanisms of their implementation...but what is important is the agreement to make the economic process the starting point and it is the priority in our movement and in our governmental and parliamentary work, and despite the huge challenges...we have great opportunities for investment and economic construction... We have opportunities for agricultural investment..and we have manpower..and we have accumulated industrial experience..and we have promising opportunities in religious, archaeological and cultural tourism, and we have great opportunities capable of attracting investors and external money for the benefit of our country, and we have the ability to raise oil production and gas investment and increase cash income. .
Al-Hakim pointed out that "more than (600) thousand students are taking exams for the sixth year of middle school... which means that they will go after weeks to enroll in colleges and universities... and within four years, we will have more than half a million young people waiting for a job opportunity worthy of them and their dreams and ambitions.. And this The number is on the rise every year, so do we deal with these numbers with government employment that has overwhelmed the Iraqi government and burdened the state and made us in front of a financial time bomb?
Al-Hakim asked, "Do we deal with these large energies with social welfare salaries...?", pointing out that "this positive climate in the nature of international relations in our region is one of the most prominent historical opportunities that we must invest today to establish a regional strategy." In the long run, it is in the interests of the people the whole region."
And he continued, "And let's not forget that Iraq had the greatest role in bringing the diverging points of view closer together..and it is its usual and qualitative role that must remain preserved. The Iraqi interest requires achieving regional stability..and cooperation and regional integration."
Al-Hakim called, "Following a wise and studied foreign policy that seeks to invest national and international energies towards international and regional mobilization that establishes strategic partnerships between Iraq and its brothers in the Gulf Cooperation Council on the one hand... and between it and neighboring countries and the main countries in the region on the other hand."
