MilitiaMan Saturday PM "Big Meetings Today and Tomorrow" 5-7-2022
KTFA:
Clare: Tomorrow they will meet.. Independents: It is difficult to form a parliamentary bloc of 40 deputies
2022-05-07
A group of independent deputies will hold a special parliamentary meeting tomorrow, Sunday, to discuss the initiatives put forward by the two sides of the Shiite conflict, the coordination framework and the Sadrist bloc, to determine their compass, which in turn will determine their subsequent steps, accompanied by some demands that will achieve the desired change in the overall political process .
Independent MP Adnan Al-Jabri told Shafak News Agency, "Most of the independent representatives will hold a meeting tomorrow to deliberate among themselves on the last two initiatives that were put forward by the Coordination Framework Forces and Muqtada al-Sadr."
He pointed out that "most of the independent representatives tend to go towards the opposition, while others believe that confronting the political scene and forming an independent national government that meets the aspirations of the street, but according to demands that may not appeal to the owners of the initiative."
He added, "We seek a comprehensive reform of all presidencies, including the parliament, along with the withdrawal of presidential candidates, and otherwise any reform will be partial, we will not go with it," expressing his hope that "tomorrow's meeting will discuss all the details and proposals for solutions to get out of the political closure."
Al-Jabri added, "The independents must take responsibility by coming up with a working paper or an initiative that is presented to all political forces and blocs, which we hope will resolve the political crisis," adding that "the upcoming meeting will inevitably come out with a set of recommendations that will be announced later."
He stressed that "it is not easy to gather the independents and unify their visions in their approach, given that each of them has his own opinion or position, noting that some deputies have previously defined their positions as having attended the election sessions for the President of the Republic with an incomplete quorum, and their total does not exceed 25 deputies, nine from the extension movement , and like them from the new generation, four independents, and two from the Tasmeem movement.”
He continued, "In the sense that the other independents, who number more than 17 deputies, are the ones who support comprehensive change and correcting the course of the political process as a whole, not just the cabinet. They are also looking and wanting to limit the scope of the powers of the Prime Minister, who will be tasked with forming the government and choosing his ministry according to specific criteria."
Al-Jabri pointed out that "the demands to correct the course of the comprehensive political process are supported by some of the deputies of the Independent Iraq Alliance and the radiance of Kanon, as well as some independents and others."
He pointed out that "realizing the demand of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, according to his recent initiative to form a parliamentary bloc of independents of no less than 40 deputies, is difficult and difficult."
The independent MP, Hassan Al-Khafaji, revealed to Shafak News Agency earlier about a meeting that the independent representatives will hold to discuss the initiatives of the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement and to come up with a solution to end the political blockage.
He added, "The parliamentary meeting will discuss the paragraphs of the proposed initiatives, using the experiences of some advisors, and we will inevitably come up with outputs that may contribute to determining our next destination, whether to go with the initiative of the leader of the Sadrist movement or with the coordination framework initiative."
Al-Khafaji pointed out that "after analyzing the two initiatives, including the common points or commonalities between the two initiatives."
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, had put forward earlier today an initiative calling on independent parliamentarians to form an independent bloc to form the government away from the coordination framework.
It is noteworthy that the coordination framework put forward last week an initiative that included some requirements for entering into new alliances to form a government. LINK

According to the presidential statement, {Euphrates News} received a copy of it, that: "This came during the President of the Republic's reception of the Prime Minister in the presidency in Baghdad."

MilitiaMan: These articles are actually. It is the President, Prime Minister and Council of Ministers and they are talking about the future today.
We were told there would be meetings today and apparently they have happened.
The timing is all coming together and may even have been done to a degree that suggests we could see more out of the CBI sooner than thought.
But first lets talk about what has transpired with Sadr. He gave a 40 day period out to the Coordination Framework to form a government and they are said to have failed. Also, this week we have seen that Sadr gave the independents up to 15 days to form a government with the Sadr's block.
An article suggests that the Independents could actually get on board within days and walaa here we are seeing them meeting tomorrow.. So, here we may have been an Independent group that gives Sadr 23rds of the seats to come on board.
In the recent past there was approximately 220 seats under Sadr that didn't get him the 2/3rds majority. But, if the independents come on board adding 35+- seats may give Sadr what he needs to form the government.
I find it interesting that the President, Prime Minister and Kahdimi today are so called caretaker government, yet acting like they are not a caretaker or at least they know from the Federal Court, they have the powers to see that the entitlements for the citizens get sorted while the group is still in office and likely to be in the future.
They'll not be considered a caretaker government anymore, imo based off the court decision and by their present actions.
The timing of an article out from a Maliki today states, *"A member of the Coalition, Muhammad Al-Sayhoud, told Shafaq News Agency, "Political parties are working to suspend the monitoring role of the House of Representatives to pass many contracts and projects in the caretaker government for their interests." and "Now we have a caretaker government and should not work as a government with full powers."
He added.* This is looking to be the Maliki is trying to sway public opinion in his favor and it is likely to late to be effective.
Again a key to be remembered, is the Federal Court has already told us the caretaker government can do the needs of the people and that is their entitlements.
Thereby, Malki is merely spouting off and the outcome is not in his favor at all. The consequences he faces are loss of immunity. That is not good based off his past.
So by this meeting today with the President, Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, suggests that they have security, stability, coordination, continuity and entitlements for the citizens in mind.
That would require a rate which would likely be in the 2022 budget plan.
Possibly to be voted on in short order as voted on as well. We shall see soon enough.
We know Sadr has summoned the Finance Minister and the Central Bank Governor to meet on 05/12/2022. That meeting appears to be possibly an after the fact meeting. With possibly having a newly disclosed budget timed accordingly, the allocations of that would warrant decisions to be made that Sadr would need to know about by then, as they would affect everyone in the country.
Their entitlements, i.e., HCL would be front and center to those decisions among many others, imo.
Lets see how this plays out, but, with the President, Prime Minister and Council of Ministers having this meeting it is very promising for us and even in the very, very short term.
Add in the Independents tomorrow? Hence, why Maliki is freaking out. lol imo ~ MM
