The Coordination" Is Preparing To Launch The Initiative To Form An Interim Government Headed By "Al-Kazemi" And Early Elections After A Year
Posted On2022-05-29 By Sotaliraq Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan A state of frustration prevails among the "coordinating framework" because of indications that the recent Kurdish-Kurdish understandings will not benefit the Shiite group, which has come to be known as the "blocking third." The unknown person who calls herself "Coordination of Resistance".
Concern began to seep into the "frameworkers" after cautious optimism about the discussions that took place a few days ago between the two large Kurdish parties, the "Democratic" and the "Union", which some of the "Coordination Committee" parties illusion that it will be on the side of the "consensus" issue raised by this group, which may The latter is pushing for a new proposal that combines the survival of the current prime minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, and the holding of early elections.
[These proposals, which are adopted by trends within the Coordination Committee, may be formulated at a recent stage in the form of an “initiative” that is being talked about recently, joining a series of previous initiatives that did not succeed. However, in all cases, the proposal of the new idea will remain suspended until the issuance of an official form for negotiations between the Kurdish parties, perhaps contradicting the fears of the "framers".
]In turn, the Sadrist movement, which is the most important side in the three sides of the "Coalition to Save a Homeland", seems uninterested in what worries the "Coordination Committee", and the head of the movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, has been preoccupied in recent days with the law "criminalizing normalization with Israel", which the latter extracted unanimously from Parliament, This gave the Sadrists and their allies a strong sense of their control over the Parliament.
Al-Sadr had sent a letter before the adoption of the law punishable by death or life for those who call for “normalization” with Israel, whether official or civil, with life sentences and death sentences, to the deputies before its approval, in which he called them to vote in favor of the law, then the text of the message was read in Parliament. Then.
According to the Sadrists’ circles who spoke to Al-Mada, “The Sadrist movement is fully committed to the month deadline that the leader of the movement gave to his opponents and allies to form a government without his party,” stressing that the movement “did not receive or communicate with any of the coordination parties or other forces.
About two weeks ago, the leader of the Sadrist movement decided to switch to the opposition in an “experimental” manner, and gave a period of at least 30 days, which means that the period can be extended. National, without naming any party.
On the other hand, Al-Mada sources within the coordination framework indicated that there was “disappointment” within the group due to “disturbing indications” that emerged from the recent Kurdish-Kurdish talks, which were complicating some of the “framers” that they would go towards his team.
These sources, who asked not to be named, say: “There are trends within the coordination framework, which do not appear in official speeches, but at least exist within the discussions,” noting that “some opinions within the framework were explaining that the agreement between the Democratic and Kurdistan Union parties may end up in Their merger with the coordination, especially since the Sadrists decided to remain in the opposition.”
These opinions went so far, according to what the sources revealed, that “the Kurdish agreement will push the Sovereignty Alliance or at least the Khamis al-Khanjar wing within the Sunni group to the new team, and thus Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi will be replaced.”
These propositions quickly vanished, as sources familiar with the discussions within the Coordination Committee said: “We are almost certain that the Democratic Party wants to drag the National Union into the tripartite alliance to strengthen the coalition seats.”
one last try
]In light of these transformations within the "Coordination Committee", the latter began to put forward what he considered a "final paper" in the file of forming a government, an initiative that has been talked about for days, and "frameworks" described it as satisfying the Sadrists and giving them "the lion's share" as the biggest winners.
Sources within the Shiite bloc say, "The initiative will be an agreement to form a government for a period of one year, headed by Mustafa Al-Kazemi, until early elections are agreed upon."
According to what the sources say, “The Coordination Council will not harden its position on the number of ministries that will be from its share in the interim government if it is formed, and may take 4 or 5 ministers, after leaving the Sadrists to choose the personality of the prime minister,” stressing that “Al-Kazemi is the Sadrist movement’s choice from The beginning and the attempt to put forward the name Jaafar al-Sadr (the cousin of al-Sadr) is a test balloon.”
The "Coordination" did not address the problem of the participation of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and some of his allies in the new government, who the leader of the Sadrist movement puts a "veto" on their presence in power, and no statements have been issued by the movement so far regarding acceptance of an "interim government."
Al-Mada had recently revealed reviews conducted by various political forces, and discussions emerged from them about the difficulty of holding elections in the near time, and also monitored the presence of a wing within the "Coordination Committee" that supports the idea of the current prime minister staying for a longer period
In any case, the sources in the "Coordination" confirm that "transforming the idea of merging Al-Kazemi's survival and holding new early elections into an initiative presented to the political forces, is still early, especially since the framework awaits the final form of the discussions taking place inside the Kurdish House
And at the end of last week, the two Kurdish Democratic Parties and the Kurdistan Union announced a joint statement after their meeting last Wednesday for the first time in about 4 months in Erbil
According to the statement, "there is an appropriate ground for negotiation, normalization and strengthening of relations between the two sides, working to restore confidence between them and the cooperation of the political parties through understanding and dialogue."
The statement pointed out that "the joint meetings of the political bureaus of the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union will continue for this purpose as a basis for joint action, and a joint committee of the two political bureaus of both parties will discuss holding the upcoming Kurdistan Parliament elections."
The statement did not address the two parties' position on the crisis of forming the federal government, as the statements of Kurdish politicians and representatives confirm that the last issue is not a priority for the Kurdish forces' attention, and the most important thing is to purify the atmosphere within the region.
The last meeting in Erbil followed the visit of Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani to Sulaymaniyah on May 22, during which he met with leaders of the "Union" and other Kurdish parties.
According to the leaks from Kurdistan, the “scenario” of merging the Democratic Party with the “Coordination” is unlikely, especially since there are some parties within the Shiite group accused of being behind the bombing operations that affected Erbil at the beginning of this year, and the accusations made by some personalities within the “framework” who were accused Erbil is working with the Mossad, as well as the recent threats that came from the group calling itself the “Iraqi Resistance,” accusing the Kurdistan region of training “subversive groups” with the support of Israel.
There is neither victor nor vanquished”!
Meanwhile, in the crowd of initiatives, the National Coalition led by Iyad Allawi decided to enter the crisis line and present a new initiative, based on the principle of "neither winner nor loser."
The National Coalition stated in a statement that “after matters in the political process reached this level of complications (...) it was necessary to put forward a national initiative to resolve the existing conflicts, calm the situation and defuse the crisis to unite the ranks, especially since the regional and international situation is unstable and is going through a phase of tension and attraction. ».
The statement stressed that "the essence of our initiative is to work on the principle that there is no winner or loser, with everyone joining together to resolve differences and reach understandings that contribute to accelerating the process of forming the government," noting that "the National Coalition and through some of its leaders, led by Hassan Shewerd, is working to strengthen this initiative with National political leaders to achieve and succeed.
And that «the National Coalition does not seek to obtain positions and gains, but the main goal is to achieve national dialogue» LINK
