"The Iraqi President Dissolves The Parliament And The Government." Copying The Tunisian Experience Is "A Fantasy"
Political Monday 26 July 2021 | 11:34 am| Number of readings: 83 On Monday, the State of Law coalition commented on the possibility of repeating the "Tunisia experience" in Iraq, through the president's dissolution of the legislative (parliament) and executive (government) authorities and the imposition of political and security decisions .
And Tunisian President Kais Saied decided, yesterday evening, Sunday, to freeze all the powers of the House of Representatives, lift the immunity of all members of Parliament, relieve Prime Minister Hisham Al-Mashishi from his position and dissolve his government .
After Said announced these decisions, thousands of Tunisians went out to celebrate in the streets, as Tunisian public opinion is angry at the differences between the parties in Parliament, and the conflict between Ghannouchi and Michichi, and between President Said, which led to a state of paralysis .
In this regard, the leader of the State of Law coalition, MP Kata' Al-Rikabi, said that "what happened in Tunisia cannot happen in Iraq, for political, legal and constitutional reasons ."
Al-Rikabi explained, "On the political level, it is not possible that the rule in Iraq is a joint rule between all political parties, and the time of coups is over and it cannot be restored in Iraq ."
He continued, "Governance in Iraq is parliamentary, not republican, and that is why the President of the Republic in Iraq does not have the powers to dissolve parliament and the government, without the parliament's vote on that, and for this talk about the possibility of transferring Tunisia's current experience to Iraq, something is not difficult, rather it is very impossible." https://aynaliraqnews.com/index.php?aa=news&id22=150076
