Tishwash: Iraq: Al-Sadr gives the "coordinating framework" a deadline to negotiate with all blocs to form a national majority government without his bloc
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr , announced that the " Coordination Framework " coalition , which includes political forces described as allies of Iran , gave him an opportunity for about 40 days to negotiate with all political blocs to form a national majority government, stressing that his bloc, the Sadrist bloc, will not be part of it.
Al-Sadr said, in a tweet to him, that he "thanks God for enabling him and those with him to be the largest winning bloc in the parliamentary elections, with an unprecedented victory, as I was the first to succeed in forming the largest national bloc (save a homeland) and nominating a prime minister acceptable to all." He stressed that "these alliances have bothered many, and they have obstructed and are still obstructing."
He stressed that "in order that Iraq does not remain without a government, and the security, economic, service and other conditions deteriorate, I give the blocking third (the coordination framework) an opportunity to negotiate with all the blocs without exception, to form a national majority government without the Sadrist bloc," noting that "the opportunity will be from the first day Ramadan until the ninth of the next Shawwal,” calling on his bloc to “not interfere with this, either positively or negatively.”
Al-Sadr’s move comes one day after the Iraqi parliament failed, for the second time in a row in less than a week, to proceed with the session to elect a new president for the country, due to the lack of the legal quorum required to hold it, with 220 out of 329 deputies, as the “Coordination Framework” coalition succeeded In disrupting the two sessions, this prevented the project of the “Save a Homeland” coalition, which includes the “Sadr Movement,” the “Kurdistan Democratic Party” and the “Sovereignty” coalition, from passing the position of the President of the Republic, which would entail the task of assigning the candidate of the largest bloc to form The new government.
The Coordination Framework has not yet responded to al-Sadr's call, at a time when the Framework was hoping for a return to dialogue with the Sadrist movement, especially after the latter's failure to secure a quorum for the presidential election session.
The "coordinating framework" seeks to launch an initiative to get out of the political impasse, without revealing its details, but political sources in Baghdad told "Al-Araby Al-Jadeed" earlier today that the initiative comes within a new Iranian movement to resolve the crisis between the political parties.
The former parliament member, from the Kurdish forces, Ahmed Hama, commented on Al-Sadr’s call, and said in a tweet to him, “The coordinating framework and its allies do not accept the formation of a majority government as Al-Sadr proposed. They say that they did not and will not form a government without forming the largest Shiite bloc.” Because the goal for them is to keep the component unified.
Political specialists interpreted Al-Sadr's call as being directed towards the opposition. The political researcher, Ali Al-Baydar, said in a tweet to him, "Al-Sadr's going to the opposition means that the situation is further aggravated. Two-thirds of patriots were unable to form a government, so how about a disabled third?"
It is noteworthy that the new failure to hold the session puts the political crisis that has afflicted the country for nearly 5 months at new turns, after political blocs threatened to dissolve Parliament, go to new early elections, and propose other forces to go to the Federal Supreme Court in Iraq regarding the constitutional vacuum resulting from the failure In choosing a new president of the republic, who, after his appointment, assigns the major bloc to form the government. link
