It seems that Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi will remain controversial and excited by his frequent appearance, such as movie stars, to allow him to be more influential in a country heavily indebted and in political, economic and security crises, the most recent of which is the health crisis, with the outbreak of the Corona virus pandemic.
It is in the nature of Iraqi society that it sympathizes quickly with any personality in which features of excitement, controversy, and media and field appearance appear, and this is what Al-Kazemi worked on since his appearance in the first cabinet meeting after the formation of the government and his taking several field trips.
Al-Kazemi managed to win the sympathy of Wood, the Iraqi street, and draw attention with his exciting appearance, with clips and movements that some described as "Hollywood" or cinematic, and this made him constantly provoked.
Al-Kazemi’s stardom was not the result of the moment. It dates back to 2016 when he was appointed by the former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi as head of the National Intelligence Service, a move that was a shock to the Iraqi street, which was surprised by the appointment of a writer and human rights activist to head the intelligence, at a time when the country was fighting a war On the Islamic State.
A pragmatic mentality
During the recent years, Al-Kazemi was able to define the features of his public personality with many features, taking advantage of his journalistic background, in addition to his presence in the pyramid of intelligence, to make him an interesting personality and a focus of his pragmatic mentality and his extensive relations with all influencers in the political arena at the local, regional and global levels.
Psychologist Siham Al-Shujairi says that Al-Kazemi tries to embody the needs of the people according to his previous journalistic vision. He is between being a journalist providing an informative speech to the recipient, and between being a prime minister governed by the rules, foundations and conduct of the position, despite the social situation and challenges that Iraq faced, including the demonstrations. Corona's proliferation and political pressure settled his choice as prime minister.
Al-Kazemi bears his calm personality - according to al-Shujiri - his official job as prime minister and his profession as a journalist, and thus seeks to satisfy the needs of the political system with his personality, whether cinematic or Hollywood, but the Hollywood personality cannot do these things because of its need for a political figure.
A firm personality.
Al-Shujairi believes that the current stage requires the presence of a show personality affected by the Iraqi street amid the ongoing bloodshed and ongoing protests, and therefore the influential Hollywood personality in the Iraqi street from the seventies until the nineties of the last century was not Hollywood as much as a personality compatible with the nature and quality of the Iraqi personality and its needs To be strong and able to make decisions that eliminate problems, corruption, challenge and loyalty issues for regional countries, and others.
According to Al-Shujairy, the Iraqi man no longer thinks of a Hollywood personality. Rather, he needs a figure who is pure Iraqi and influential in the world, and can realize the dreams and aspirations of society.
And the Iraqi Academy believes that the Hollywood method does not make a country and a homeland, but rather a ruling group away from the vision and the will of the people who want change in all the details, noting that the proposition of the Hollywood character at this time is to distort the Iraqi personality who only wants its social and legitimate rights like other countries .
Advertising propaganda
. As for political analyst Hadi Jalu Mari, he believes that Al-Kazimi had to appear in a Hollywood personality or way in his visits and talks due to an important reason related to the mood of the Iraqi people, whose irritation and anger cannot be matched by untimely solutions, stressing that angry citizens are not ready to wait until the results of the economic measures appear. And the reforms he talks about and the Iraqi Prime Minister promises.
According to Merhi, those close to Al-Kazemi try to jump on reality through some appearances, movements and visits to specific institutions, meaning that Al-Kazemi’s office adopts advertising for a product that has not been put up for sale yet, considering that this thinking is actually a problem in a country in which no one is ready to wait.
Merhi believes that Al-Kazemi does not possess convincing solutions, and he does not find room in the context of the ruling forces ’struggle, which is not in its interest to achieve a breakthrough in the face of the corruption dilemma, indicating at the same time that there is limited popular acceptance, but it will fade over time with the persistence of material challenges and the lack of solutions to problems Lingering.
The sympathy of the people, and Al-Kazemi's intelligence background played a fundamental role in his continuous Hollywood appearance, in addition to his having a media team with a long track record in journalistic work, in addition to having a background in journalism spanning many years.
Al-Kazimi is trying to sympathize with the Iraqi people with these appearances in light of the current conditions in the country suffering from the apparent deterioration and collapse in the health and economic sectors, political differences, the acquisition of Iraqi parties and armed factions over the Iraqi decision, and regional and international differences, says Iraqi journalist Ali Al Hayani.
Al-Hayani adds to Al-Jazeera Net that Al-Kazemi and his media team know very well the nature of Iraqi society, which is known for its affection, and they are seeking to use social networking sites to highlight this character in terms of photography and appearing in video clips that show that he is a serious, strong and determined character.
Al-Hayani considered that these movements will push the Iraqi people to interact with the character of Al-Kazemi, but his repeated appearance without serious actions will lose him this advantage day after day, adding that it is in the nature of the Iraqi people to interact with any new prime minister, but achievement on the ground and meet the demands and provide services It is the criterion for the ultimate sympathy of this people.
