The Tahrir Square is witnessing in the middle of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the demonstrators flocked to demand comprehensive reform and fight corruption, in response to calls to demand the withdrawal of legitimacy from the ruling parties, while differences remain between the political parties concerned to nominate a new candidate for prime minister.

While the House of Representatives is holding today, Wednesday, a session to vote on the new parliamentary elections law, the Judicial Council announced the release of 2,700 protesters who were arrested during the events that accompanied the protests.

In Basra (550 km south of Baghdad), local sources said that the demonstrators continue for the second day to close the main roads leading to the gates of the northern oil fields of Rumaila, and the well of twenty oils, west of the province, demanding to provide job opportunities.

Witnesses said that hundreds of demonstrators set out early this morning towards the roads leading to the fields of Rumaila, Artawi, Majnoon and West Qurna, staged a sit-in and prevented vehicles carrying employees from entering the fields.

The protesters are demanding a solution to the unemployment crisis and the employment of the unemployed from the regions where the oil fields are located.

The witnesses pointed out that "the protesters threatened to install a marquee for the sit-in unless the corporate departments did not respond to their demands," while the security forces surrounded the demonstrators and asked them that the demonstrations be peaceful, in addition to not attacking the employees and the guards of the oil installations.

The Iraqi authorities are seeking, in cooperation with foreign companies operating in the oil fields, to search for opportunities to appoint the unemployed whenever opportunities arise, in order to solve the unemployment crisis.

It should be noted that the cutting off of oil installations in Iraq does not affect the production and export operations in general, as they are outside the production and export complexes.

Electoral law
Politically, the Information Office of the House of Representatives announced that the parliament will hold today Wednesday a regular session to vote on the new Parliamentary Elections Law.

Sources in the legal committee said that the committee was unable to resolve all the points of disagreement, and that it submitted alternative proposals to the council to resolve it through voting.

The committee was unable to resolve the electoral system, as parliamentary blocs demand that the system be 60% individual and 40% according to the list, while a number of blocs demand that the vote be 100% individual, and that the districts be electoral districts.

Meanwhile, Adel Abdul Mahdi, head of the caretaker government in Iraq, denied the vacancy of the premiership by tomorrow, Thursday, or later, stressing that the government continues to operate until the new government takes over according to the Iraqi constitution.

Prime minister
This comes, while sources in the office of the President of the Republic said to the island that the political parties concerned to name a new candidate for prime minister have not resolved their differences so far, and they have not agreed on a candidate to head the next government.

She added that the Al-Fateh coalition led by Representative Hadi al-Amiri told the President of the Republic that his candidate was Qusay al-Suhail, the Minister of Higher Education, but the second party, the "Marching" parliamentary coalition that won the last elections, and which was supported by the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr, informed the President of his rejection of this candidate .

The sources said that the situation has become embarrassing for the President of the Republic, with no indication that the parties may reach an agreement during the remainder of the time to nominate a candidate by the end of tomorrow, Thursday, which is the deadline set by the President of the Republic in a letter he sent to Parliament two days ago.

In the event that no one is assigned to form a government, Iraq enters the stage of a constitutional vacuum, and the government will continue its work mostly like what happened in 2010 when the government of Nuri al-Maliki continued during his first term in business for months, despite the end of its constitutional work due to disagreements over the most numerous parliamentary bloc .
