The head of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Hadi Al-Amiri, commented, on Monday, on the statement of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, while identifying 9 points that he said are important, announcing full support for the progress in achieving the curriculum.
Al-Amiri said in a statement, "People" received a copy of it, (August 31, 2020), that "after reading the statement of the respected Prime Minister on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Hussein, peace be upon him, we found him taking into account all the points emphasized by the national forces in their last meeting with him on Wednesday. On 8/26/2020, Muharram 6, and as we affirm the implementation of these important points, we declare our full support for the progress of this curriculum and we affirm the following observations:
- We believe that the first primary task of this government is to extend security, restore the prestige of the state, and create the appropriate conditions for holding free, fair and just early elections.
- There is no room for alternating between the options of state and non-state. We are with one option, which is to build a just state that is able to extend security and secure a free and decent life for every Iraqi citizen.
- We call for the support and strengthening of the security services, as we have no choice but to restore their prestige, respect and strengthen them in order to establish security, enforce the law and the rule of justice, otherwise the data indicate going towards the unknown and the overwhelming chaos that does not remain or is not neglected, so we stress the need to impose strict penalties on everyone Insults or assaults the security services, as well as the employees of these agencies to work in accordance with the laws in force, and the competent authorities must hold accountable those who fail in the performance of their sacred national duty.
- Peaceful protest is a right guaranteed by the constitution, and it is one of the means of pressure to find reforms and change paths, but it must be in accordance with legal procedures, and in a way that reflects a sense of responsibility towards the country and its future, by maintaining peace and distinguishing between peaceful demonstrators who have legitimate demands and between those with corrupt goals and the infiltrators who Through this constitutional right they want to tamper with public security, attack public and private funds, disrupt life, prevent work, pressure state employees and prevent them from carrying out their duties, and these are undoubtedly subversives, outcasts from society and do not in any way belong to peaceful demonstrators, and the government must deal with them according to the law And strict judicial procedures, and not tolerating them, and the protection of peaceful demonstrators and public order from their mischief and criminality.
- The government should not tolerate all calls demanding to bear arms and form armed groups, and deal with them firmly in accordance with the law and judicial procedures, because it is a very dangerous gesture towards the state, and an explicit call for violence, fighting and threatening the security of society that requires legal prosecution.
- The security and judicial agencies must stand firmly and forcefully to end the series of kidnappings, assassinations, and stirring terror among the people, behind which there are unrighteous hands that want to stir up chaos, and that retribution and prosecution of perpetrators and saboteurs is the exclusive right of the judiciary, with whom we stand strongly in order to achieve this.
- We affirm the transition to the stage of actual and rapid implementation of all measures that would address the grave scourge of corruption, and we call for the need for real and serious follow-up to pursue corruption in all parts of the state, because we believe that the phenomenon of corruption is more dangerous than the phenomenon of terrorism, rather terrorism is the fruit. Malicious corruption is one of its byproducts.
- We highly appreciate the economic problem and the financial situation of the government, but there is a need for a government initiative to achieve social solidarity and alleviate the burdens of the poor classes, and we have a serious initiative that will be launched in the House of Representatives.
9-We stress once again the need to expedite setting a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq at the earliest opportunity, and to achieve full national sovereignty.
