The Presidents of the Republic and the Judicial Council in Iraq called on the political forces to dialogue, and Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi considered that the current political differences represent a worrying indicator of stability, after the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada al-Sadr warned that he would not interfere to stop any future demonstrations in light of the “continued corruption.” .

And the Judicial Council in Iraq reported this evening, Thursday, that the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, and the President of the Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, call on the political forces to dialogue within the constitutional and legal frameworks.

In turn, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi said in a statement that "the accelerating events that Iraq is witnessing in light of the current political differences represent a worrying indicator of the stability and social peace that the government has worked to perpetuate."

Al-Kazemi expressed his astonishment at the continued attempts at what he described as his government’s involvement in the details of political crises, even after it entered the stage of conducting business, and its announcement, since the day after the elections, to take all measures to hand over responsibility to the next government.

Al-Kazemi called for confronting crises through a national dialogue, and to be wise about events and not to make assumptions that have nothing to do with the truth, as he put it.

"We call on everyone to understand the critical and sensitive situation in which Iraq stands today, and to prevent the country from being plunged into a security or social crisis, amid complex regional and international circumstances," he added.


Sadrist Movement

In this context, the Sovereignty Alliance in the Iraqi Parliament - led by Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi and Khamis al-Khanjar - said, "We will not attend the next session until after a binding agreement and respect for the directions of the Sadrist movement."

And sources in the Sadrist movement spoke of the movement's readiness to organize another demonstration on Saturday.

For his part, Muqtada al-Sadr said that if those he described as corrupt continue to oppress and hate the country, he will not intervene again to prevent the demonstrations.

A source close to al-Sadr (Saleh Muhammad al-Iraqi, nicknamed the Minister of the Leader) quoted in a tweet on Twitter that there is no harm in the people deciding their fate if they are disciplined and committed to the peaceful and peaceful demonstrations.

This comes after the coordination framework announced that it was moving forward in forming a new government and adhered to Muhammad Al-Sudani as a candidate for its presidency, despite the fact that supporters of the Sadrist movement stormed the Iraqi parliament yesterday, Wednesday, in protest against Al-Sudani’s nomination and to demand the fight against corruption.

And after a meeting held by the coordination framework (Shiite forces other than the Sadrist movement) yesterday - after storming the parliament - he confirmed his progress in forming a new government headed by the Sudanese.

The coordinating framework had earlier called on the Presidency of Parliament to set Saturday as a date for a session in which a new president would be elected, and nominate a candidate for the position of prime minister to form a government.
