 Al-Mashhadani: Iraq enjoys stability and is about to economic prosperity and returned to its influential role in the region

Baghdad / Nina / Speaker of the House of Representatives Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani stressed that Iraq enjoys stability and is about to economic prosperity and has returned to its influential role in the region.

Al-Mashhadani said in a televised interview with Al-Iraqiya TV that there are important laws in need of voting, most of which are not controversial, including (personal status and general amnesty).

He added that there is a mechanism within the draft amnesty law that includes only the exit of innocents and the process of conditional exit and is subject to a series of procedures. He pointed out that the law of the status law is only waiting for the subject of the code to proceed with the vote on it, and this code relates to the Shiite component.

He pointed out that the Sunni component does not need a code and they have no problems in proceeding with law No. 188

He explained that there is a consensus to change the retirement law and return it to 63 years.

Al-Mashhadani said that the Popular Mobilization Retirement Law is one of the important laws, and we are waiting for its return from the government, and the dispute over it is political and related to the retirement age.

He added that no law related to the election law has reached the parliament, and there are different opinions on amending the electoral law, including granting 10 percent to independents, and there are other opinions, including making Iraq one district, and others want the province to be one district, while it is more than one district for the governorates that have a large population.

He explained that talking about the election law is premature and is still in the presidency of the Republic

Al-Mashhadani described the adoption of the Amnesty Law as a fortification of the inner house.

Al-Mashhadani pointed out that coordination among the countries of the region is required on Syria to prevent the obtaining of authority, stressing that communication with the new Syrian leadership should be through the government.

He said that we are afraid of an Islamic spring because of leaving Gaza and not stopping the killing in it, indicating that in Gaza there is a wound that will not be healed except by punishing the deceitting rulers.

He added that the Zionist entity is leading Gaza to a war of extermination. /Ended
