Al-Maliki: The combined efforts and cooperation of political forces prevents any collapse that Iraq may be exposed to
The head of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, called on the political forces on Thursday to cooperate with each other to prevent “any collapse that Iraq may be exposed to.”
Al-Maliki said in a televised speech, which was followed by Shafaq News Agency, that “the combined efforts of all authorities contribute to the stability of Iraq, and the strengthening of the principle of democracy, pluralism, and the peaceful transfer of power.”
He added that “most countries and governments are exposed to crises, and there is no country in the world that has not gone through many crises,” adding that “the government is the first to resolve crises, but it cannot face raging crises alone.”
Al-Maliki also stressed that “the government, political forces, and all authorities each bear responsibility for confronting major crises,” stressing that “the judiciary bears responsibility for activating its mechanisms and pursuing every case that requires a judicial position within the contexts adopted in the democratic system.”
He pointed out that the House of Representatives has a role in legislating laws and procedures that must be taken by the government, indicating that the executive authority has a major role and bears the greatest burden in dealing with crises, but it alone cannot do so except in cooperation with the judiciary and the House of Representatives.
The head of the State of Law Coalition stressed the “major” role of the national parties and forces in managing the political process, noting that the committed national parties are the ones who bear responsibility and work for the good of the nation, and are the biggest partner in supporting the process of stability, construction, democracy and pluralism and finding solutions to major problems.
He continued, “If the political forces lose consensus and political agreement among themselves on the basis and ceiling of the constitution, they will turn into a means of destroying and disrupting the paths of the political process.”
Al-Maliki continued, saying: We emphasize the importance of the role of political forces, parties and movements in working according to the constitution, away from personal gains, noting that everyone’s efforts must be combined to confront crises and confront any deviation or departure from the constitutional foundations and principles.
He concluded his speech by saying: The combined efforts, cooperation and harmony of the political forces will prevent any collapse that Iraq may be exposed to, expressing his hope for the cooperation of all political forces to respect the will of the citizens, provide a decent life and protect the country’s sovereignty from any violations.
