Parliamentary consensus to pass controversial laws soon - Urgent
Member of the House of Representatives, Muhammad Al-Ziyadi, confirmed today, Tuesday (November 5, 2024), that the politically disputed laws will soon be passed during the next stage.
Al-Ziyadi said in an interview with Baghdad Today, "There is a parliamentary consensus on passing the controversial laws that were postponed for more than one session due to political differences, especially since those laws were postponed by some parties under the pretext of the absence of a parliament speaker who represents a major component of the Iraqi people."
He said, "The upcoming sessions will witness the passing of these laws, and there is a parliamentary consensus on this. There is also the possibility of extending the legislative session for one month in order to decide on these laws."
Al-Zaydi explained that "these laws require dialogues and consultations to put the final touches on them at the legal and political levels."
Last Thursday, the House of Representatives settled the issue of the position of the Speaker of the House, granting confidence to Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani after two rounds of voting.
According to observers, the Iraqi parliament, in its current session and the last three sessions, is facing accusations of repeated negligence in completing the voting on dozens of important laws that affect the lives of citizens.
Some of these laws relate to important economic issues, the distribution of wealth, and freedom of expression, by postponing these laws to later sessions, for reasons that can be summed up as disagreements between parties on the one hand, and the repeated absences of representatives on the other hand, in addition to the fact that some of these laws do not conform to the interests of different political parties and factions. link
