Suspended laws await Al-Mashhadani’s “hammer”... Parliament Speakerfaces “complex” files and short time, 4 NOV

 Suspended laws await Al-Mashhadani’s “hammer”... Parliament Speakerfaces “complex” files and short time

The head of the Iraqi Center for Strategic Studies, Ghazi Faisal, believed that the suspended laws and draft laws that are still in the drawers of the House of Representatives will constitute a burden on the remainder of the current session under the leadership of the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani.

Faisal said in an interview with Al-Mada, “Some laws will be postponed to the next session due to the selective approach followed by parties or blocs in the House of Representatives in legislating laws.”

He stressed that "there are about 50 laws referred to in the constitutional articles, and they are extremely important laws related to the implementation of the constitution. When they are not enacted, the constitutional articles related to them remain frozen and inactive."

Dozens of laws are still pending in the halls of the House of Representatives, awaiting approval for months, and some of them have been frozen for years due to disagreements between political blocs over them or proposals to amend them.

For his part, political analyst Omar Al-Nasser said in an interview with Al-Mada, “Mashhadani will face multiple challenges, most notably unifying the Sunni ranks and unifying his discourse, in addition to dealing with the file of ministerial amendments that Al- Sudani intends to propose, which is a complex path that requires consensus between the forces and parties.”

Al-Nasser explained to Al-Mada that “Al-Mashhadani will face a number of challenges, most notably the suspended laws, the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil, and regional tensions. If he is able to deal with these files in a positive way , he may contribute to restoring confidence between the citizen and the political class.” link
