[size=52]Saleh Al-Mutlaq: “General amnesty” is designed for thieves[/size]

[size=45]Saleh al-Mutlaq, head of the National Dialogue Front, considered that the general amnesty law being discussed is designed to release thieves and counterfeiters.
In a television interview, al-Mutlaq spoke about the situation of Sunni forces in Iraq, and said that “there is a project to weaken the Sunnis, which was basically an American project that internal and external parties helped to continue.”
He added that “there is no Sunni representation in the security and economic ministries,” because “the Sunnis paid the price of resisting the American forces,” while stressing that he was “a supporter of the resistance, but I did not fight myself.”
The head of the Dialogue Front denied the accusation that he supported the resistance because he was a “former Baathist,” explaining, “I resist because I am a patriot.”
Al-Mutlaq revealed the reason for his dismissal from the banned Baath Party in the 1970s, saying that it was “because I refused to execute members of the Dawa Party.”
Al-Mutlaq says that he is now looking to “form a bloc that is far from sectarianism,” stressing that he stayed away from politics for a while because of the “sectarian blocs.”
He considered that “political money and weapons play an important role in winning the elections,” estimating that “80% of Iraqis have not heard of the elections because they are desperate,” adding: “This group must be convinced, and they are looking for a national project.”
Regarding the return of what they described as “the elders of the political process,” Al-Mutlaq said that it is possible for “Nouri al-Maliki to return to the premiership, there is nothing preventing that,” because “Maliki is now influential in the decision-making process and the kingmaker.”
Regarding the implementation of the agreements that preceded the formation of the current government, Al-Mutlaq said that “Al-Sudani requested the dissolution of the Accountability and Justice Commission, but the commission is linked to parliament,” adding that “parties in parliament, not only Shiite, but also Sunni, want to keep this file open to get rid of opponents.”
Al-Mutlaq considered that “Accountability and Justice is an unjust project, and it should not last more than 20 years,” and he confirmed that “it is used to bring down figures politically, electorally, and socially, and it is selective.”
Regarding the general amnesty law, Al-Mutlaq said that “there are prisoners on malicious charges, including those whose wives accused them of terrorism due to disagreements under the name of secret informant.”
He revealed that “ISIS or Al-Qaeda took revenge on people who did not cooperate with them, so their names were written in the records.”
Al-Mutlaq considered the general amnesty law “designed to release those who steal state funds and forgers.”
In contrast, Al-Mutlaq commented on the personal status law, saying that he rejects it, but he said: “If the Shiites insist on passing it, it is better to have a Sunni code.”
Regarding the file of military tensions in the region, Al-Mutlaq said that “the Arab countries did not support the resistance in Gaza, due to Iran’s interference and expansion in some countries.”
He considered that “Iraq is not ready to enter the war.”
In contrast, Al-Mutlaq warned of the danger of the New Middle East Project, and said: “Iraq must pay attention and end internal disagreements,” suggesting that “weapons outside the state in Iraq will end, and everyone will soon know that it is a wrong direction.”
The head of the Dialogue Front considered that “if the current political system continues, it will gain power, but it will not build a state.”[/size]
