Clare: The only regional leader.. Nechirvan Barzani participates with world leaders in the opening of the Paris Olympics
7/26/2024
The President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, will participate in the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as one of the prominent figures and the only regional leader at this global event.
This participation represents a milestone in international relations and highlights the Kurdistan Region on the global stage. It also reflects the role of President Nechirvan Barzani as a regional leader and an active and influential party in the international arena.
Relations with France
Nechirvan Barzani's presence reflects the strong relations between the Kurdistan Region and France, which, as one of the countries supporting Kurdistan in various fields, sees Barzani's participation as an opportunity to strengthen these relations.
Interacting with world leaders also allows Barzani to open doors for more cooperation and investment in the region, as participating in a major global event such as the Olympics enhances the image of the Kurdistan Region internationally and demonstrates its ability to play an effective role in major global events.
Another dimension of participation is that it gives Kurdish culture a chance to be in the spotlight, which can enhance the understanding and appreciation of Kurdish culture on a global level.
President Barzani's participation in the international event also enhances the image of cooperation between the Kurdistan Region and the government in Baghdad, as the region shows its interest in participating in major global events, in addition to giving a political message that reflects the stability of the region and its ability to interact with the international community in a positive way.
Barzani and world leaders
In addition to Barzani, France is preparing today, Friday, to receive a large number of heads of state and government, kings, and the First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden, in a unique opening ceremony for the Summer Olympics on the Seine River, amid tight security reinforcements.
The ceremony will also be attended by Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid, in addition to a large group of European leaders, headed by the new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who seeks to strengthen relations with France, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, accompanied by the country's President Salome Zourabichvili, and Moldovan President Maia Sandu.
The Olympics will be an opportunity for intense diplomatic activity, as the Portuguese UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will urge countries to "lay down their weapons", stressing the importance of the "Olympic Truce" called for by French President Emmanuel Macron. LINK

Clare: 15 trillion dinars raises controversy in the budget
7/26/2024
The manipulation of the budget has sparked controversy between the government and the House of Representatives.
Economic expert Salah Nouri told {Euphrates News} that: "It is too early to analyze the amount of {15} trillion dinars, as it is now the subject of controversy over falsification of the budget tables between the House of Representatives and the government."
Salah added, "Assuming that there is an increase of this amount in the operating budget, it increases the budget deficit, and increasing the deficit is a step towards a liquidity crisis."
The Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed, yesterday, Wednesday, different budget tables before and after its approval, with a difference of 15 trillion dinars.
Committee member, Moeen Al-Kazemi told {Euphrates News} that the budget tables that arrived from the Council of Ministers and were approved inside the parliament are the same as the government tables; therefore, the letter that we received from the Council of Ministers that the tables that were referred after the vote have a difference and a large difference in some chapters that reach 15 trillion dinars.
He added that the spending budget amounts to 211 trillion dinars; but the tables that were signed by the Parliament Presidency and sent to the Council of Ministers read 226 trillion dinars.
Al-Kazemi explained that the Prime Minister's Office sent the table signed by the Parliament Presidency, which included:
- An increase in the amount of the ration card by 5 trillion dinars.
- Increase in oil revenues by 5 trillion dinars.
- Reduce fees by 5 trillion dinars.
- In addition to financial increases for the Ministry of Electricity and some governorates.

August is looking good...a lot is coming to a point in August. Iraq is opening up 4 military manufacturing plants...to produce military equipment and weapons. Isn't that saying the sanctions will be off? FRANK: Your country has no sanctions.... whatsoever of any kind.
