2022-10-05 | 04:00  Source:  Sumerian  142 views  Although more than three hundred and fifty days have passed since the elections that took place in October of last year, a new government has not yet been formed to lead the country, in light of an internal impasse and external pitfalls. Let the crisis of political forces stop in its places

Ambiguity prevails in the form of the new government, which the political forces in Iraq do not know the date of its formation, and the Iraqis are accustomed after every election that several months have passed since the birth of the government, between the conflicting blocs over the presidency and the number of ministries and special ranks, so the government’s features did not appear until this moment in light of the inability of one party to Ending the political crisis in the country for nearly a year.

It appears that the political process inIraqIt is moving in an unknown orbit. After the victory of the blocs in the elections, especially the Sadrists, the Sovereignty, and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, these blocs tended to implement a new equation to manage the system of government after a series of failures, failures and corruption since the year two and three, and the opinion of a leader  Sadrist Movement Muqtada al-Sadr It is clear in terms of forming a majority government or heading to the opposition.

In the end, he saw in the opposition an interest for him or his masses to be the political balance of the coordination forces after the resignation of the Sadrist bloc deputies.

In this atmosphere, many expect that the protests and demonstrations will be repeated in two cases, the first, if the new government does not meet the aspirations of the people, and does not find solutions to the problems and the lack of services that the citizen suffers from, and the second is that some forces and blocs do not get what they want and are excluded from participating in the new government

Therefore, it will try in various ways to support any attempt to protest or an opposition voice in order to thwart the government and the parties that support it and may lead to the complexity of the complex political scene from the ground up,

and the best solution to overcome the setback and return to square one, according to observers, is to choose an acceptable and strong prime minister from all political parties. It is able to meet the aspirations and needs of citizens and set a date for early elections, so it can withdraw excuses and reasons for the repetition of previous events.   LINK
