Today, Monday (November 13, 2023), academic Mujasha Al-Tamimi revealed the amount of political money in renting satellite channels to promote the candidates of the forces and blocs in the elections of next December 19, while indicating that Iraqi law allows the political forces to spend more than a billion dinars on propaganda. Electoral.
Al-Tamimi said in an interview with “Baghdad Today” that “Iraq is classified internationally as a corrupt country, and corruption does not exclude any public sphere. In Iraq, the media is mostly partisan and belongs to political groups, and political money is available thanks to the political quotas project. All of these reasons make institutions Media outlets are part of Iraq's crises because they are affiliated with those parties or are commercial, and most of them live on blackmail or entertainment.
He added, "The Iraqi state does not implement its laws, and cases of blackmail appear openly. Political forces, specifically those participating in the government, begin to pump illegal funds into electoral propaganda as long as the law allows them to do so, as the law allows large lists to spend an amount amounting to more than one and a half billion Iraqi dinars legally." Pointing out that “media ownership in Iraq is official, partisan, and private, and with the exception of the official, which cannot be bought due to its ownership by the state, the remaining two types will be within reach of the large lists and parties that have money from participating in the official state ministries.” Therefore, the information indicates that some lists and alliances have already rented local television stations during the electoral campaign period and are also paying money for the purpose of hosting their candidates in programs, and some parties and alliances have turned to electronic media, where they have purchased some news platforms and large pages on social networking sites.
He continued, "Since the start of the electoral campaigns, we have noticed that a number of Iraqi satellite channels have already begun to promote specific lists, which is considered a money-making season to achieve very large revenues during the electoral propaganda period by promoting some blocs or for the purpose of demolishing and attacking others in exchange for taking large sums of money. But the question is that... Many people think about the social and moral responsibility of the media in Iraq, as it seems that the financial crises, lack of support, and lack of experience have made some stations resort to this type of corruption for the purpose of continuing and overcoming their economic crises.
After the launch of the electoral campaign for provincial council candidates and the approaching date of local elections, the Supreme Judicial Council, yesterday, Sunday (November 12, 2023), issued “strict” procedures regarding the media appearance of guests of media institutions.
