A group of independent deputies will hold a special parliamentary meeting tomorrow, Sunday, to discuss the initiatives put forward by the two sides of the Shiite conflict, the coordination framework and the Sadrist bloc, to determine their compass, which in turn will determine their subsequent steps, accompanied by some demands that will achieve the desired change in the overall political process .
Independent MP Adnan Al-Jabri told Shafak News Agency, “Most of the independent representatives will hold a meeting tomorrow to deliberate among themselves on the last two initiatives that were put forward by the Coordination Framework Forces and Muqtada al-Sadr.”
He pointed out that “most of the independent representatives tend to go towards the opposition, while others believe that confronting the political scene and forming an independent national government that meets the aspirations of the street, but according to demands that may not appeal to the owners of the initiative.”
He added, “We seek a comprehensive reform of all presidencies, including the parliament, along with the withdrawal of presidential candidates, and otherwise any reform will be partial, we will not go with it,” expressing his hope that “tomorrow’s meeting will discuss all the details and proposals for solutions to get out of the political closure.”
Al-Jabri added, “The independents must take responsibility by coming up with a working paper or an initiative that is presented to all political forces and blocs, which we hope will resolve the political crisis,” adding that “the upcoming meeting will inevitably come out with a set of recommendations that will be announced later.”
He stressed that “it is not easy to gather the independents and unify their visions in their approach, given that each of them has his own opinion or position, noting that some deputies have previously defined their positions as having attended the election sessions for the President of the Republic with an incomplete quorum, and their total does not exceed 25 deputies, nine from the extension movement , and like them from the new generation, four independents, and two from the Tasmeem movement.”
He continued, “In the sense that the other independents, who number more than 17 deputies, are the ones who support comprehensive change and correcting the course of the political process as a whole, not just the cabinet. They are also looking and wanting to limit the scope of the powers of the Prime Minister, who will be tasked with forming the government and choosing his ministry according to specific criteria.”
Al-Jabri pointed out that “the demands to correct the course of the comprehensive political process are supported by some of the deputies of the Independent Iraq Alliance and the radiance of Kanon, as well as some independents and others.”
He pointed out that “realizing the demand of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, according to his recent initiative to form a parliamentary bloc of independents of no less than 40 deputies, is difficult and difficult.”
The independent MP, Hassan Al-Khafaji, revealed to Shafak News Agency earlier about a meeting that the independent representatives will hold to discuss the initiatives of the coordination framework and the Sadrist movement and to come up with a solution to end the political blockage.
He added, “The parliamentary meeting will discuss the paragraphs of the proposed initiatives, using the experiences of some advisors, and we will inevitably come up with outputs that may contribute to determining our next destination, whether to go with the initiative of the leader of the Sadrist movement or with the coordination framework initiative.”
Al-Khafaji pointed out that “after analyzing the two initiatives, including the common points or commonalities between the two initiatives.”
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, had put forward earlier today an initiative calling on independent parliamentarians to form an independent bloc to form the government away from the coordination framework.
