Tishwash:  Legal: The idle parliament cost the state budget billions of dinars

Legal expert Ahmed Shahid Al-Shammari confirmed, on Monday, that the Iraqi parliament in its fifth session has cost the state budget more than 150 billion dinars so far, while describing the parliamentary performance as shy and does not rise to the level of responsibility. 

Al-Shammari said in an interview with the "Information" agency, "The House of Representatives has passed only two orphan laws during the nine months since the constitutional oath of the House of Representatives was taken," noting that "Parliament is not serious in addressing the crises that the country is experiencing and does not have the ability to hold the corrupt accountable and monitor the corrupt." . 

He pointed out that "the House of Representatives, in its current session, costs billions from the state treasury in return for a timid performance that does not rise to the level of ambition," stressing that "Parliament has contributed significantly to deepening the crisis and disrupted many bills." 

And the deputy of the Sadiqoun Parliamentary Bloc, Zainab Al-Moussawi, considered in a previous interview with / the information / the disruption of parliament sessions constitutes an explicit violation of the internal system of the House of Representatives. link

**************

Kaseyko1:  Well, looks like this week should be interesting on articles I've been reading. Also appears Sadr has given an extension to mid-Oct before the demonstrations start. Framework's acting like they'll have their govt this coming week. I haven't heard about the UN's stance on this extension by Sadr, though. Hmmmm...............

Doc:  All they ever go is postpone and delay is there any end??

JCNoble:  Doc delay is Iraq's national pastime.

KaseyKo1:  From what I've read, this is why Sadr is not canceling the demonstration but only extending it out, to see if the Framework is going to get serious with meeting his demands.

KaseyKo1:  On a positive note, everything I've been reading seems to be pointing to a resolution of this govt issue this week. I don't believe they feel the UN is bluffing with them at this point. Perhaps this is why Sadr has delayed the protesting, knowing the UN is getting ready to step up & do what needs to be done if he can't get the Framework to do some compromising. We'll see. As Vinterv says, "Positivity abounds"!!!

KaseyKo1:  Also keep in mind that Iraq is in the "doghouse", so to speak, over losing the $28 billion contract with Total. They've ticked off a lot of people over this happening.

Tishwash:  Oil falls due to the strong dollar and fears of economic recession

Oil prices fell after rising in early trading on Monday, affected by the rise of the US dollar and fears that sharp increases in interest rates worldwide will lead to a recession and harm the demand for fuel.

The dollar index rose to a 20-year high on Monday, capping gains in oil prices.

Brent crude futures fell 53 cents, or 0.62%, to $85.62 a barrel at 04:16 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures were down 45 cents, or 0.57%, at $78.29 a barrel, and both contracts fell. By about 5% on Friday.

Analysts said that crude oil should find some support as Russia builds up its forces for the war on Ukraine and European Union sanctions on Russian oil are due to take effect in December.

With prices lower, attention will turn to what the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies led by Russia, the so-called OPEC+ community, might do when they meet on Oct. 5, after agreeing to modestly cut production at their last meeting.

Nigeria's Oil Minister, Timber Silva, said in comments that OPEC would consider production cuts because current prices hurt the budgets of some members.

But given that OPEC+ is producing well below its target production, it is unlikely that any announced cut will have a significant impact, if any, on actual supply.

Data last week showed that OPEC+ backed off its production target by 3.58 million barrels per day in August, a larger shortfall compared to the previous month. link

What we lack is to lead forward and implement Law 21 as we focus on decentralization and focus on other ministries."

And she continued, "We have a common goal that includes educating the Iraqi people, providing them with health services, preserving their rights, and owning their rights that help them lead a decent life," noting that "decentralization is a very long road, and we have the expertise to implement it."

The Prime Minister: We seek new elections accompanied by a charter to respect their results

Posted On2022-09-25 By Sotaliraq   Translation: Hamed Ahmed   Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi stated that his dialogues with the political blocs depend on holding new elections accompanied by a charter to respect their results. Al-Kazemi said in an interview with (The National) website, translated by (Al-Mada), that the dialogue he was conducting between different political parties focused mainly on holding new elections coupled with a new charter that ensures that all parties respect their results.

Al-Kazemi added, "The political forces insist not to give his government a chance, including the refusal to pass a full budget to activate major projects."

When asked about the solution to the political crisis, Al-Kazemi said in one word: “It is dialogue.”

He pointed out, "There are two options: either to go towards a clash in a society that experiences most types of violence, or to have an opportunity for dialogue."

And (The National) website confirms that "Al-Kazemi, since taking office more than two years ago, has been one of his main interests is restricting the role of the armed factions, strengthening the security force in the country, and re-establishing an effective state.”

And (The National) website indicated that “for two years, the prime minister has been dealing with influential armed factions and a complete political blockage. His critics say that he should have taken a stand against the armed groups, but this may lead to more bloodshed.

Al-Kazemi believes, "A thousand years of dialogue is better than one moment of fighting," noting that "the time has come to separate between the violent past and a future based on true democratic values ​​that are not based only on ballot boxes."

Al-Kazemi said, "Dialogue takes time, although this time is not in the interest of Iraq as it faces all these crises," stressing by saying, "Are there other options that we have other than dialogue?"

And (The National) website pointed out that "next October marks the passage of a year since Iraq held its early elections, but since that time it has failed to form a new government, and that the political system has reached a complete dead end."

Al-Kazemi returns to explain, "Everyone agrees to early elections, however, any new elections will need a road map."

Al-Kazemi stressed, “The new elections need an agreement and confidence-building among the political elites, with a process that emerges from a dialogue. We need a new social contract that stipulates that when there are elections, we must accept their results and agree to respect the constitutional dates.”

The Prime Minister pointed out that "the problem lies with the political elites, they believe in the ballot boxes, but they do not believe in the political system or democratic values."

Al-Kazemi stated, "Any new agreement must be with elections within specific conditions and a new social contract that guarantees the unity of the elections and the application of their results."

And (The National) website reported that "despite his efforts, the political party that emerged as a winner in the previous elections, represented by the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr, decided to resign its followers from Parliament and to withdraw from the political process."

Al-Kazemi stressed the importance of Al-Sadr’s role in the political life in Iraq, and in response to a question whether Al-Sadr will return to the political scene, Al-Kazemi said, “Iraq has multiple political forces and Al-Sadr represents one of these main forces, and let us be clear that holding elections without the Sadrist movement, it will be elections With a large deficit and will face a great challenge, the Sadrist movement must be a party in any upcoming elections.”

The previous elections witnessed a low participation of the voters, which was 40%, and perhaps the participation will be less in any other upcoming elections.

Al-Kazemi said, “We have to convince the Iraqi voter to participate by emphasizing that the next government will come with full powers, and that the next government will come to serve the people with new projects and implement promises. .”

On the other hand, Al-Kazemi said, “Political forces are working to obstruct many things, including the budget,” noting that he “has only a six-month budget at the moment.”

Parliament had refused to pass a full effective budget, because Al-Kazemi's government has been a caretaker government since the last October elections.

The Prime Minister asserts, "Despite all this, we have accomplished financial reforms. Our reserves have increased from 49 billion dollars to 85 billion dollars, in addition to 50 tons of gold."

Al-Kazemi stressed the success of his government's reforms, although this came at a time when oil prices had historically risen, from which Iraq benefited, as it is one of the oil-producing countries.

He said, "Reliance on oil in the budget account has decreased from 96% to 80%, but the great challenge we are facing is corruption, we have fought corruption and the Integrity Committee has received accusations from all kinds of corruption mafias that are working to stop the wheel of building the country at any cost." ”

While his critics say he has not done enough to fight corruption, Al-Kazemi said: "We have accomplished a lot, but there are damaged interests that have worked to stop and obstruct the work of the Integrity Committee." About: (The National) news site   LINK

14 Surprising Facts About the British Royal Family’s Money

14 Surprising Facts About the British Royal Family’s Money

Jami Farkas    Sat, September 24, 2022

Even though the British royal family holds only symbolic power, King Charles III and his heirs still make millions.

The new king and sons Prince William and Prince Harry all make money from personal sources of wealth. As working members of the royal family, King Charles and Prince William also benefit from government money as well as from the income from estates that have been passed down through generations. Want to learn more about the British royal family? Click through to learn interesting facts about the royal family's wealth.

The King Receives a Sovereign Grant From Taxpayer Money.

The sitting monarch receives a Sovereign Grant from the HM Treasury to pay for the salaries of household staff, official travel expenses and the upkeep of the palaces.

The grant comes from profits from the Crown Estate. In the 2021-22 budget, the Sovereign Grant was £86.3, equivalent to £1.29 per person, the BBC reported. In U.S. dollars, those figures equal about $98.5 million and $1.50.

The Sovereign Grant Changes From Year to Year.  The Sovereign Grant currently is equal to 25 percent of the Crown Estate's total profits, so when profits rise, so does the size of the grant.

The Crown Estate does not belong personally to the monarch or the royal family. It is managed by an independent group, and remaining 85% of profits go to the treasury to benefit all residents of the United Kingdom. The holdings of the Crown Estate are worth more than £7.3 billion -- $8.3 billion in U.S. money - and includes everything from beef farms to facilities for stone mining.

The King Gets Additional Income From the Duchy of Lancaster.

The Duchy of Lancaster refers to the portfolio of land, property and assets held in trust for the king or queen of England, and it provides the head of the royal family with an independent source of income outside of the Sovereign Grant.

For the year ending March 2022, the Duchy of Lancaster delivered a net income of £24.0 million ($27.4 million).

The King Also Has His Own Personal Wealth and Income.

Other sources of money for King Charles III are the personal investment portfolio and private estates, which include the Balmoral and Sandringham Estates that have been passed to him since the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 8. Forbes valued the inheritance at $500 million. The royal palaces and Crown Jewels are not part of his personal wealth, as they must be passed on to his successor and are not his to sell.

King Charles III has the highest British royal family net worth at $600 million and is by far the richest member of the royal family.

Prince William Gets His Money From the Duchy of Cornwall.

While the king gets income from the Duchy of Lancaster, the Prince of Wales, William, gets his income from the Duchy of Cornwall.

The estate, which is one of the oldest and largest in Britain, is spread throughout England and contains agricultural, commercial and residential property. The Duchy also includes a financial investment portfolio.

If King Charles III Stepped Down

If King Charles III Stepped Down

Here's what would happen if King Charles III stepped down and handed the throne to Prince William

Maria Noyen   Sat, September 24, 2022

King Charles III has not indicated that he ever plans to renounce the throne. Given his age and historically low popularity in the UK, however, it remains a possibility.

Insider spoke with a royal historian about what would happen if Charles stepped down as king.

The UK is mourning the loss of a queen that reigned for 70 years while also welcoming a king that spent the same amount of time preparing to replace her.

From the outside, the reign of King Charles III appears to have gotten off to a shockingly good start. In his first speech, he made his intention to follow in his mother's footsteps crystal clear.

"As the Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation," he said.

Charles, now aged 73, is the oldest person to become king in British history. In the years before Queen Elizabeth II died, speculation mounted that she may have been contemplating stepping down and handing the throne to Charles.

That said, the decades Charles spent as a prince saw his popularity among the public nearly decimated, especially following his divorce from Princess Diana in 1996. As recent as 2021, it led to a desire among the British public for Prince William to succeed Queen Elizabeth II instead of his father, according to a poll on behalf of Newsweek.

Insider spoke to royal experts about what would happen in the event Charles stepped down and what it would mean for the monarchy's future.

Charles couldn't simply step away from the throne

There are two scenarios in which Charles is alive but no longer king, royal historian Marlene Koenig told Insider.

The first comes under the Regency Act, Koenig said, which could be triggered if Charles was physically incapacitated, meaning he could no longer speak or move. Dr. Bob Morris, an honorary senior research associate at UCL's Constitution Unit, told Insider the monarch's inability to carry out their duties would also have to be certified by various people including their spouse.

If that occurred, the next in line – Prince William – would become regent. "He takes over and has all the powers of the king, except some matters, which are reserved," Morris said.

However, there is another, more controversial scenario — abdication. Koenig said it's highly unlikely to ever occur given Charles' intention to follow in his mother's footsteps.

In any case, abdication is a complex process. Charles couldn't simply decide to abdicate by himself. To make it official, he would first need UK Parliament to pass an Act of Abdication, Koenig said.

"He can't just say, 'OK, here it's yours, William.' Nope. The succession to the throne is legislated by parliament," she added.
