Head Of A Parliamentary Bloc: Holding A Session To Vote On The Government Is Difficult, If Not Impossible
link
On Monday, the head of the Badr Parliamentary Bloc, Hassan Shaker, ruled out the holding of a session to vote on the booth of Prime Minister-designate Adnan al-Zorfi, indicating that there was a broad rejection of al-Zorfi, which makes the possibility of holding the meeting difficult, if not impossible.
Al-Kaabi said that "Al-Zrafi, even if he submitted a request to hold a session to vote on his cabinet, the session is unlikely due to several things, including that the assignment of the original was not constitutional or legal with a clear rejection from the Shiite forces concerned with the mandate as they represent the largest bloc" , Indicating that "What makes it more difficult is that the Sunni and Kurdish forces have clearly stated their position that they will not engage with any candidate who does not obtain the Shiite consensus, given that this position is a meritorious component."
Al-Kaabi added that "the meetings are continuing in order to come up with a unified position towards a consensual candidate that will be formally presented to the President of the Republic for the position of Prime Minister, especially as Iraq is going through several crises that make us required to speed up the resolution of this file in an exceptional time", stressing that "the mechanism that was mandated Al-Zrafi in it was not constitutional and legal, and any complacency in this case will make us face constitutional violations that will be repeated in the future.
He continued, "Holding a session to vote on the Zarfi government during the past few days is difficult, if not impossible."
In a sudden move .. Parliamentary blocs in Iraq nominate Al-Kazemi as a candidate for prime minister as a substitute for Zarfi
Informed Iraqi sources told Al-Jazeera that a meeting was held in Baghdad on Sunday evening that included major parliamentary blocs, which led to its agreement to name the head of the Intelligence Agency, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, as its candidate for prime minister, instead of the current official, Adnan Al-Zarfi.
The sources said that these parties agreed to work to thwart the attempt by al-Zorfi - the president's candidate - to form a government.
She added that these blocs are: the Al-Fateh bloc led by Hadi al-Amiri, the state of law led by Nuri al-Maliki, and the wisdom led by Ammar al-Hakim, and indicated that these blocs will inform the President of the Republic of their new candidate.
Al-Zorfi had asked earlier Sunday from the Presidency of Parliament to fix the date of the special session to vote on his government program and give confidence to his government, defying factions and powerful Shiite blocs refusing to assign him to head the government.
The Prime Minister-designate announced earlier that he submitted his government program to the presidency of the parliament pending a vote on it, and said that a national government will be formed that derives its legitimacy from the Iraqi parliament, after consulting with the parliamentary blocs, and to meet the demands of the Iraqi street.
He continued that the new government will work on four important axes: working to find solutions to the financial crisis, imposing state prestige and the rule of law, conducting free, fair and transparent elections, and establishing balanced international relations for what he described as a strong and moderate Iraq.
In a related context, he suggested that the Iraqi parliament member Faleh Al-Ziyadi submitted that Al-Zarfi form his government, consisting of 24 ministerial portfolios, to the Iraqi parliament at the end of this week or early next week, within the constitutional deadline.
Strong opposition
. Eight armed Iraqi factions called on the political forces on Saturday to declare their position rejecting the appointment of Prime Minister-designate Adnan Al-Zorfi, and described him as a US intelligence candidate, and called on the President of the Republic, Barham Saleh, to name another candidate.
. Eight armed Iraqi factions called on the political forces on Saturday to declare their position rejecting the appointment of Prime Minister-designate Adnan Al-Zorfi, and described him as a US intelligence candidate, and called on the President of the Republic, Barham Saleh, to name another candidate.
These factions called: Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, the Al-Nujaba Movement, the Brigades of the Master of Martyrs, the Faithful Movement, the Imam Soldiers ’Movement, the Imam Ali Brigades, the Ashura Brigades, and the Khorasani Brigades - Parliament to thwart the appointment of al-Zorfi, and warned that this would endanger the civil peace in Iraq. .
In previous statements, Al-Zarfi rejected his accusation by some Iraqi forces that he was close to the United States, and made pledges that included holding the protesters' killers accountable.
It is noteworthy that the Iraqi president assigned Al-Zorfi to form the new government on the 17th of last month, after the political blocs failed to nominate a candidate to form the government within the constitutional deadline, after the candidate Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi’s apology for submitting his cabinet formation within the constitutional deadline.
In a related context, the resigned Prime Minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, welcomed the opening of a strategic dialogue between the Iraqi and American governments.
The statement of the Iraqi Prime Minister’s Office said that the American ambassador to Baghdad, Matthew Toller - who met with Abdul Mahdi in Baghdad - conveyed to him Washington's response and proposal regarding the determination of the negotiating delegation and the date to start the talks.
For his part, the American ambassador confirmed his country's proposal to specify the negotiating delegation, and the date for the start of talks between the two sides.
Al-Jazeera correspondent Samer Yusuf said that there is a common desire between the two countries to sit at the negotiating table, and quoted sources close to the Iraqi prime minister that the upcoming discussions will address the future of the relationship between the two parties, after the Iraqi parliament’s decision that demanded the removal of American forces from the country, and the strikes it suffered American bases, and corresponding attacks on the headquarters of the Iraqi factions.
The talk about the strategic dialogue comes in conjunction with the continuation of the American forces, which are part of the international coalition forces to fight the organization of the state, its withdrawal from military sites and its handing over to the Iraqi forces, the last of which was the Habbaniyah air base in Anbar Province (west of Baghdad).
The relationship between the two countries is witnessing an escalating tension, after military bases comprising American forces and foreign embassies - especially the American diplomatic mission in Baghdad - were exposed to more than twenty missile strikes since late October, and Washington accuses Iraqi factions loyal to Iran of being behind them.
The attacks on the Americans in Iraq increased after the assassination of the Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, deputy head of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization, in a US raid near Baghdad airport on January 3.

China is preparing to complete a "lifelong oil deal" in Iraq
link
China recently eased quarantine measures in Wuhan, from which the new Corona epidemic was launched, with the closure lifted completely on April 8.
With President Xi Jinping visiting the city over the past few days, the industrial economy across China has returned to work, although the service sector is still cautious, Oil Price reported in an article.
As for the oil sector, this means that China will return to work from where it left off, and resume its activities to explore and develop new opportunities.
There is no clearer indication of that, from last week’s China move, to award an engineering contract worth $ 203.5 million to the giant Majnoon oil field in Basra, Iraq, to the unknown China Petroleum and Construction Engineering Company (CPECC).
The Oil Price website notes in the article that China is racing against time to complete what has been called a "lifelong oil deal" with Iraq.
With the United States preoccupied with fighting Corona, Beijing has a good reason to believe that it is open to it in Iraq, according to the article.
In particular, this means continuing to develop opportunities for oil and gas fields in geopolitical areas, such as Iraq, on the basis of renewed contracts for specific work implemented by companies outside the US radar such as the China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Company.
This method is also adopted by Russia, and the focus in it now is on Iraq and Iran, the two countries that are located in the middle of the Middle East and are essential to China's multi-generational strategy of "one belt, one road", and Russia's continuous attempt to confiscate the entire Middle East.
And before the United States realized that China was working covertly with Russia to save money, Iraqi politicians offered China a tremendously profitable deal to develop Majnoon, according to the article.
Specifically, the terms of the deal stipulate that China will obtain a 25-year contract, which will enter into force two years after the date of signature.
This would allow China, according to the article, to generate more profits on average annually and less upfront investment.
At the end of 2017, Iraq began taking over the management of the Majnoon field from the Dutch-British Shell Company, which decided to withdraw from it by mutual consent. The handover process ended in March 2018.

4-6-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG [Reference Mike Cottrell post 4-3-2020: "As far as Exchange protocols have always been to have a DeLarue machine verify each currency. I assume it would still be a sanitary way to do it with minimal contact"] ...None of this is accurate. The De La Rue machine is not an automated authentication protocol. Anyone saying it is – or speaking as an “authority” on the subject is making it up as they go. It is a high end counter and “screening device” – IT DOES NOT AUTHENTICATE ANYTHING. I have spoken to the engineers who designed it (in London) on a number of occasions. This was their description directly to me. Had it been the device everyone is claiming – I would have bought (or leased) one. It is not.
4-5-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick [via Frank26] We told you the CBI would explain the reasons for the currency exchange rate change and the changing of the auctions with the American dollar.

Deputy Faiza: All decisions and actions of Al-Halbousi are controlled by Representative Mohamed Karoubouli

On Sunday, the winning deputy, Najat Al-Tai, accused MP Mohamed Karbouli of controlling the actions of Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Al-Halbousi, stressing that Karbouli is behind not presenting the challenges of membership of the winning MPs.
Al-Taie said in a press statement that "the representative of the solution bloc, Muhammad al-Karbouli, controls the decisions and actions of Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi, due to their common partisan and political interests," considering that "al-Karbouli's exit from parliament means the loss of al-Halbousi."
She added that "refraining from offering appeals against the validity of the membership of the winning representatives is political," stressing that "not returning rights to their owners is a violation of the constitution and a crime that the law is liable to."
Member of Parliament, on behalf of Khazaal, affirmed that Parliament Speaker Mohamed Al-Halbousi had lost political support to all political forces, while he made clear that a large number of Al-Halbousi's bloc were unwilling and trying to remove him.

Maaleh announces the presentation of the new candidate this week and ruled out passing Al-Zarfi by a majority

The President of the General Constituent Conference of the Wisdom Movement, Sheikh Hamid Maaleh, announced the presentation of the new candidate for the formation of the government this week after a Shiite agreement to nominate an alternative to the Prime Minister-designate Adnan Al-Zarfi.
"There is a consensus among the Shiite forces until this moment on the importance of not passing Zarrafi and we have witnessed since [Friday] a movement between the Shiite forces related to an alternative, and I have reached perhaps a result that can be announced this week, which may be more complicated and actually more dangerous," Maalah said in a television interview.
He added, "The new candidate has a consensus, and he is not one of the controversial candidates. He occupies an advanced government website and meets the required criteria, and he is not very different from Zarfi."
"If this consensus is not public, clear and signed, then this attempt will be like its predecessors," Maaleh stressed, adding that "whenever a political consensus is found, legal interpretations will fade before that consensus and will be included with any of the consensus that takes place."
He ruled out passing Zorfi's booth if it was shown in the parliament. "There is a good majority and parliamentary awareness in Parliament, which may lead to the passing of the government if there is such a consensus, but this possibility dwindles and weakens due to the presence of controlling forces and blocs that lead the decision, and the parliamentary decision cannot proceed with the wishes and opinions of the deputies.

Where to go
Representatives of the "Saeron" coalition led by Mr. Muqtada al-Sadr and the largest in the Iraqi parliament announced Saturday their support for the Prime Minister-designate, Adnan Al-Zorfi.
Riyad Al-Masoudi, a deputy for "Saeron", confirmed in an official statement to the Iraqi National News Agency, "their support to form the new government as soon as possible, headed by Adnan Al-Zarfi," noting that the latter "will proceed with the procedures for forming his government despite the opposition of some Shiite political blocs to him." .
And the position of the Sadr alliance comes in contrast to the Shiite political blocs, which stressed its rejection of Adnan Al-Zarfi, claiming that he is "unconstitutional" at times, and that he is "close to the United States" at other times.
A political source said last week to Al-Hurra that Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Adnan Al-Zarfi had secured the parliamentary majority that would pass his government in the parliament next month.
