Al -Sadr interrupts the Iraqi elections “The presence of militias”
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muktada al -Sadr, decided a contradiction about his participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections, planned for November next year, and although Boycot resumed, he established the conditions for reforming the political process in Iraq.
Al -Sadr wrote on Friday on the “X” platform: “Let everyone know while there is corruption, I will not participate in any chrome electoral process, which has nothing but sectarian and partisan interests that are far from the suffering of people, and what is happening in the dissociation region, which the president caused, was not to abandon Iraq and his people who are not in the stone.
Al -Sadr added: “I still count on obedience to the popular rules in the Shiite patriotic course, and when I ordered them to vote, today they unanimously agree with voting and nomination to the candidate; There is a subsidy for sin ”, according to its expression. He continued: “The truth will not be established, neither a lie will be paid, except by the transfer of armed weapons to the state, the decision of the militias and strengthening the army.
Al -Sadr occupied public opinion with the possibilities of his return to the political process and the possibility of his participation in the upcoming elections, despite the closure of the candidate.
Al -Sadr could not participate in the elections, because the independent commission was closed, but the observers suggested open the door again.
With the boycott of al -Sadra, the former prime minister Hyder Al -Abadi recalled the competition, because he also announced that he would not run for the upcoming elections, and opened the door for another speculation about the future of the next survey.
Local platforms distributed leaks of the delegation of the Sadrist movement, in which there were famous leaders who contacted a number of Shiite leaders; Including Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al -Sudani; In order to participate in the elections.
Negotiation negotiations
In this context, the political source told Aucarca al -Vausat that “negotiations with the Sadrist movement have not yet stopped about the possibility of their return.”
The source, which asked not to be identified, added: “In the coming days, the structure of coordination will meet, knowing that most coalition parties confirm the participation of the breast, with the exception of one faction.
In the 2021 elections, the “Sadrist movement” took first place with 73 places before he completely left, after his opponents in the “coordination structure” resorted to the activation of one suspension of the third in the parliament in order to prevent the president of the republic on the basis of the formation of most government, with the chest of Shiites, with Sunniy and Kauradian forces.
Although the decision of the al -Sadra is not to participate in the upcoming elections – according to his statement, to deal with corrupt, various political circles in Iraq saw his decision to boycott his opponents to get more places.
The assumption prevails that the decision of the al -Sadr to boycott the elections and its clear call to the struggle with armed militias can lead to demonstrations during the upcoming periods, especially with the beginning of the selective propaganda of the Shiite forces.
Al -Nasr coalition, led by former Prime Minister Heider Al -Abadi, quickly supported the decision of the Sadra’s election. On Friday, he said that “the power of the state is the power of its political system and the power of the political system in its sincere expression of the will of citizens, through the forces that represent them, and any regime that lives in a boycott will threaten its existence and functions.”
The statement added that “the problems facing the state, especially at this historical moment, should expand the political base of the regime and attract everyone, with the need to maintain the electoral process from corrupt and manipulators.”
The coalition emphasized that the most important factor in obtaining problems and overcoming collapses of any country is internal and social unity, in accordance with the needs of preserving the interests of the people and the essence of the state. The statement continued, stating that “the absence of a candidate based on a national vision of the reform is radically different from the inability to allow others to participate in elections for interesting reasons.”
Post -Boycott
In turn, Manaf al -Musavi, the head of the Baghdad research center and a Sadrist close to the movement, said that “al -Sadr again confirms his position in order to boycott the elections, but this time he gave an important confirmation of several factors that hit the transparency of the elections and stimulating not to participate in this.”
Al -Mousavi added to the statement to Auchark al -Vat that “political forces did not provide a real model to build the Iraqi state, which did not lead to confidence.”
He indicated that “the main condition for the participation of the saddler in the elections is that, by transferring the escaping weapons, the resolution of the militia, the strengthening of the army and the police, the independence of Iraq and independence, and the unscrewed desire for reform.
Al -Musavi explained that “political forces should know about the danger of Iraq’s position, which is mentioned two days ago, and today the chest is compatible with its position.”
But the researcher Hyder Al -Jurani said that “the boycott of the elections is irregular and absurd if the boycotts invest their protest impulse to follow their boycott, is an impressive requirement that directly covers power after a boycott, and so that the boycott is not just a material for circulation in the media, it follows a real requirement of reform.”
