The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, called on all political forces for a serious dialogue whose basis and purpose would be the interest of the country and the citizen, and to move towards the formation of a government with full powers , to approve the suspended budget, manage people’s affairs and manage the next stage.
Salih said in the central celebration of the Prophet’s birthday ‘ Our country is experiencing a defining moment that puts it at a crossroads, either to go back to internal conflicts and line-ups, or to launch with a unified will that accommodates the grave challenges and meets the needs of citizens.
He added, “It is no longer acceptable to continue the status quo, the formation of governments is taking longer, constitutional provisions are more disrupted, and living conditions and services are more bad, and it is not possible to bet on the patience of the Iraqis more.”
Salih pointed out that “the absence of permanent stability exhausts our country and people, and opens the door to external interventions that have made the country a field and fuel for the struggles of others on its land with the money and lives of the Iraqis.”
And the president continued, “A whole year has passed since the elections were held without completing their constitutional entitlements, which is totally unacceptable,” adding, “I sincerely call on all political forces for a serious dialogue whose basis and goal is the interest of the country and the citizen, and to move towards forming a government with full powers, to approve the suspended budget and proceed with people’s affairs and managing the next stage
