Izzat al-Shabandar: The Iraqi parliament has turned into a "slave market" and the people are our last concern

The independent Iraqi politician and former member of the House of Representatives, Izzat Al-Shabandar, confirmed that "the government of the national majority is the natural product of true democracy, and it is the constitutionally guaranteed right for those who can achieve it," noting that "when the stipulated parliamentary quorum is not achieved, we cannot remain captives to that." The unattainable requirement.

Shabandar said in a statement to the Iraqi Kurdish "Rudaw" network today, Wednesday, "I say it frankly that whatever (national) damages that may occur as a result of the parties' concession to each other to overcome the crisis of forming a government, it is much less than the repercussions of prolonging it."

He added, "It is enough shame for us that the race to complete a quorum turned Parliament into a slave market in which the sale of manhood and honor is priced at two million dollars, especially among independent representatives, which leads me to say that the conflict has nothing to do with the homeland or patriotism, and the poor Iraqi people are our last concern."

The presidency of the Iraqi Council of Representatives decided today, Wednesday, to adjourn the parliament session, without specifying a date for the next session.

It is noteworthy that the deputies of the coordination framework and their allies did not attend the parliament session today, Wednesday, but went to hold a meeting at the headquarters of the Badr Organization, in the Jadriya district of the capital, Baghdad.

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, affirmed that "there is no good in a consensus-based government," indicating that he will not return the Iraqi people to their previous tragedy.
