Baghdad today - Erbil
Today, Thursday (July 20, 2023), a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Wafaa Muhammad Karim, revealed the reasons why his party did not enter the Kurdistan electoral alliance that was announced yesterday to participate in the local elections in the disputed areas.
More than once in the past years, the region's parliament extended its term against the backdrop of internal political rivalries that reached their peak in the 1990s, with internal fighting between the Barzani and Talabani families.
The two parties also differ on many issues, especially those related to the distribution of budget allocations.
Karim told "Baghdad Today" that "his party supported the entry of parties and small parties into one gathering so that the Kurdish voice would not be dispersed because of the Saint-Lego law."
He added that the main reason why his party did not enter the coalition was the presence of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. He attributed the reason to what he called a "belief" within his party that their presence in an alliance with the Democratic Party may lose many of the masses' votes in Kirkuk and the disputed areas because of what happened on October 16 and the betrayal at the time.
He pointed out that "if the Patriotic Union had not been included in the list, we would have entered this alliance because we are keen not to lose the Kurdish voice."
Yesterday, Wednesday (July 19, 2023), he announced the formation of a political alliance that includes 13 Kurdish parties to participate in the provincial council elections in the disputed areas, without including the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Kurdistan Islamic Union.
A joint statement of the new political alliance, which was received by (Baghdad Today), stated, "We (13) Kurdish parties met on 7/19/2023 at the headquarters of the Kurdistan Communist Party at the invitation of the Joint Action Committee of the Kurdistan Left, and we all decided to form a Kurdish list in the areas outside The administration of the Kurdistan region due to the necessity of the situation in these areas and the advantages of having a unified list.
The coalition called on "all the Kurdish parties who participated in the meeting and those who did not, to form a Kurdish list in order to collect as many votes as possible in the provincial elections and protect the rights of the Kurdish people."
Below are the Kurdish parties joining the coalition:
The movement of change.
2- The Democratic Movement for the Kurdistan People.
3- The Freedom Movement of the Kurdistan Society.
4- The Toilers of Kurdistan Party.
5- Kurdistan Democratic Socialist Party.
6- Turkmen People's Party.
7- The Kurdistan Communist Party.
8- The Toilers of Kurdistan Party.
9- Kurdistan Justice Group.
10- The Kurdistan National Alliance.
11- The Kurdistan National Alliance / interim leadership.
12- The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.
13- The National Democratic Union of Kurdistan
And the Second Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Shakhwan Abdullah, had announced earlier today, Thursday (July 20, 2023), the reactivation of the temporary committee formed in the House of Representatives to follow up the work of the Article 140 Committee of the Constitution, while pointing out that this committee has been suspended for more than 10 years.
Abdullah said in a press conference held with the participation of members of Parliamentary Committee 140, followed by "Baghdad Today", that "the temporary committee formed in the House of Representatives to follow up on the work of the Article 140 Committee of the Constitution, which has been suspended for more than 10 years, was activated after the agreement of the political blocs and support for the activation of this article." .
He added, "There are thousands of transactions from those affected by the policies of the defunct regime within the framework of Article 140. We noticed through representatives of the governorates that there are many files, and the truth is that the amount allocated for compensation by the government in the 2023 budget is a very small amount."
And Abdullah continued, “The committee needs to complete its tasks to four trillion. Only 100 billion dinars have been allocated, and after efforts, another 100 billion were transferred, so that the amount becomes 200 billion, and this amount needs to be organized for how compensation reaches those included in the article, and a mechanism has been put in place for the work of the committee and there are meetings A weekly periodicity of the work of the 140th Committee, to push for its real activation and the completion of its tasks.
And he pointed out, "One of the tasks of the committee is also the necessary legislation and the abolition of the decisions of the Revolutionary Command Council that are unfair to the rights of the people of many provinces."
Abdullah concluded, "We thank the efforts of the government that voted on a draft law to cancel the decisions of the Revolutionary Command Council, and the committee will have its first tasks to seek to receive the draft law from the government and approve it to ensure the restoration of farmers' rights, and there will be a mechanism in cooperation with the government committee to reach the dues of citizens in all governorates because There are southern governorates that have not received compensation, in addition to the governorates of Kirkuk, Diyala and Nineveh."
Yesterday, Wednesday (July 19, 2023), the former deputy of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Hassan Ali, criticized the exploitation of the problems of "Article 140" as the elections approached. Stressing that its solution "lies only through the constitution."
In an exclusive interview with "Baghdad Today," Alli seemed surprised by "exploiting the problems of the politically disputed regions with the approach of each new election cycle," considering that "delaying the implementation of the article does not mean at all that it has ended in a constitutional article."
The aforementioned constitutional article does not fall away with time, according to the Kurdish MP. Which confirms that "these areas must be private by the federal government."
The speaker acknowledges the continuation of the problems of the disputed areas, and links their solution exclusively to the "constitution," noting that "the mobilization of politicians will continue with every electoral process."
