"RV UPDATE" BY JEFF & RAYREN98, 19 NOV

 Jeff 

 The reason why there's no news coming out of Iraq is because Iraq is done with everything.  They finished everything needed to revalue.  They're ready to revalue but they can't and they're not going revalue immediately because they have to clean up corruption.  Article:   "Al-Halbousi faces 4 criminal charges after the end of his presidency" Boom!... Halabousi is going to be facing 4 criminal charges.

 In order for the 2023 budget to be implemented Iraq needed to have publicly posted in the Gazette the budget operating instructions.  They never did that.  That step never happened... Iraq has not implemented its '23 budget that's why they have to resort to financing salaries and have done so since July...If they had an active budget they would not need to  finance.

Iraq’s Federal Court Rules on Election Law: A Turning Point in Iraq’s Politics, 20 NOV

 Iraq’s Federal Court Rules on Election Law: A Turning Point in Iraq’s Politics

In a defining moment for Iraq’s political landscape, the Federal Court has rendered a decision on a lawsuit filed by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). The lawsuit, centered around the parliamentary election law, could recalibrate the balance of power within the Iraqi Parliament and shape the course of future elections. The PUK, a pivotal political entity in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, likely challenged aspects of the election law perceived as inequitable or detrimental to its interests. While the court’s decision’s specifics remain undisclosed, its ripple effects will undoubtedly captivate political factions and voters across Iraq.

Termination of Parliament Speaker’s Membership

The Federal Supreme Court’s decision, delivered on Tuesday, November 14, has led to the termination of the Parliament Speaker, Mohammed Al-Halbousi’s membership. This drastic action follows ‘forgery’ allegations tabled by MP, Laith Al-Dulaimi. The ruling is binding for all authorities and leaves no room for legal appeal, underscoring its finality and weight. As a result, the quest for a new Speaker of the House is on the horizon, although the official nomination process has yet to kick off.

Implications for Iraq’s Political Landscape

Given the significant role of the Speaker of the House, this move could trigger a seismic shift in Iraq’s political landscape. It directly relates to the ‘Iraq Court rules on election law’ topic, amplifying its relevance and potential ramifications. The court’s decision, clear in its intent and unambiguous in its enforcement, signals a new chapter in Iraq’s democratic process.

Eyeing the Vacant Seat

Amidst this political turbulence, Issa Al-Issawi, a leading figure in the al-Siyada Alliance, has hinted at the possibility of his appointment to the Iraqi Parliament to fill the seat left empty by the ousted Council Speaker, Mohammed al-Halbousi. Like before, any move in this direction will be closely watched, as it could further influence Iraq’s evolving political narrative.
