The text of the statement of Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi: We
previously participated in the elections at the end of last year, after popular protests called for changing the government and holding early elections.

Unfortunately, what we have reached today is a more regression than we were previously, through the disruption of constitutional institutions.
A broken parliament, a broken
judiciary
, a caretaker government,
we must all refer to the constitution, and be up to the responsibility to get the country out of this stifling crisis that is heading towards the absence of legitimacy, and may lead to a lack of international recognition of the entire political process, the structure of the state and its outputs.

Legal: The Federal Court has the right to postpone the dissolution of Parliament
Very few days separate the House of Representatives in its fifth session from the Federal Court’s decision regarding the consideration of the claim of dissolving Parliament amid legal expectations that the final decision will be postponed for further consideration, and this in itself is an opportunity for the political parties to dialogue and negotiate, according to followers
To the thirtieth of this month, the Federal Court adjourned the case for dissolving the House of Representatives. A few days separate Parliament from the final decision, but from a legal point of view, specialists believe that the court can postpone such cases once, twice, and perhaps more, to consider them in detail, and no one can speculate on the outcome of such sensitive issues
The politician is an opportunity to break the blockage between the political parties, and from the date of the postponement until the end of this month there was and still is a time space for dialogue and negotiation away from the corridors of law and the judiciary
In the event that the political forces did not reach results to resolve the crisis, jurists confirmed that the Federal Court could not leave matters in a closed state that might take the country to dangerous junctures, which will eventually lead it to a decision.

Minister: Muqtada al-Sadr has decided not to interfere at all, and the demonstrations committee will be dissolved
name of God
, as soon as the protests against the corrupt intensify... they hurry to seek help from His Eminence...
But His Eminence (may God honor him) and two days ago decided not to interfere at all.
Because the (Ashura_Revolution) continues to be spontaneous... His Eminence may order in the future to suspend the work of the committee supervising the protests (may God reward them with the best reward for the benefactors) in return for the judiciary and courts suspending their work.
Otherwise, it is shameful for the judiciary and the courts to suspend work in order to end a reformist revolution and not suspend their work in order to denounce rampant corruption if they are not able to prosecute the corrupt on all sides.
