Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: Al-Masala publishes the most prominent interactions of television dialogues:

Kurdish opposition politician Luqman Hassan during a televised interview:

The interruption of “official working hours” in the region is approaching the fourth month
The regional government has not granted employees their rights for 10 years
The regional government bears responsibility for the absence of salaries since 2014
Some parties control the sources of funds in the region
The salary problem is “eternal” and there are no solutions on the horizon
– If China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia send all their budgets to the region, employees will not receive their salaries on time.

Member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Wafa Muhammad Karim, during a televised dialogue:

The region’s delegation is currently in Baghdad to try to solve the financial problems
We need to amend the “budget” law within Parliament
Amending the “Budget” law will remove financial pitfalls
– Sending money in the form of “loans” is not enough for the region
The region has not exported oil since the “fourth month” until now
– Baghdad sent only “a small amount of money” to the region
– Baghdad is required to send 6 trillion to the region
Some “political parties” obstruct the arrival of funds to the region
The regional government is working hard to solve financial problems with the central government
The “educational bodies” that visited Al-Sudani have no legitimacy and are not recognized
– The “regional elections” will be postponed to the fourth or fifth month

Representative of the protesting employees in Kurdistan, Muhammad Hussein, during a televised interview:

– The “salaries issue” in the region has been going on since 2014
– The “salaries problem” started from the region and Baghdad has nothing to do with it
Al-Sudani expressed interest in the issue of employees and late salaries during our meeting with him
The problems began to worsen for the Kurdish individual, whether he was a citizen or an employee
– Peshmerga promotions continue, unlike employees
– Most employees do not know the amounts deducted from them
– Forced salary cuts are “illegitimate” and illegal
– Mandatory saving began before Corona, and it is unfair to accuse Baghdad
The regional government alone bears responsibility for compulsory savings
– Employees do not trust the “regional government” at all
We asked the Sudanese to open branches of government banks in our regions
– The plundering of oil export funds continues and is regular in the Kurdistan region
– Erbil refuses to settle salaries because of “aliens”

– The demonstrators cannot enter Erbil

Former Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq during a televised interview:

– Electoral size is what gives an indication of the value of the audience and influence
– Presidency of Parliament does not create political leadership
The term “political houses” is the basis of ruin in Iraq
– Sunnis are not allowed to participate in the security services
The Ministry of Interior has only one Sunni general director
The political majority must not be sectarian
– I tried to convince Harith Al-Dari to participate politically with the Sunnis, but I faced a categorical rejection
Al-Zarqawi and other terrorists are “extraordinary” to the Sunnis
The Islamic Party did not have a Sunni mass base
The Islamic Party exploited power in political action
– Circumstances served Al-Halbousi and others and brought them “happy and joyful”
– I objected to carrying out executions during the previous regime and paid the price
Sudanese’s speech at the Cairo summit was good and bold
– The Sudanese is accepted by a large percentage of the Iraqi street
– The Sudanese is calm and simple and is accepted by most Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds
– Corruption in the ports of Basra and Kurdistan is turning gray
“If there are 5 honest people in Iraq,” then I am one of them
– Most of the political class is involved in corruption

Representative Moeen Al-Kazemi during a televised dialogue:

– There is no complete consensus within Parliament regarding the decision to remove American forces from Iraq
The government has full authority through diplomatic means regarding the removal of American forces from Iraq
The government must exercise its role by setting a timetable for the removal of American forces from Iraq
The American escalation and bombing of security headquarters in Iraq is a violation of national sovereignty and a violation of the strategic agreement between Baghdad and Washington.
– The withdrawal of American forces from Iraq will spare them targets and bombing of their bases

Leader of the Azm Alliance, Haider Al-Mulla, during a televised interview:
It was agreed to hold a session of the House of Representatives next Saturday to elect the new Speaker of Parliament
The new legislative term of the House of Representatives will witness the determination of the position of the new Speaker of Parliament
The competition for the position of Speaker of the new Parliament will be limited to Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani and Salem Al-Issawi
The new speaker of parliament must enjoy the agreement of all Iraqi political parties
Most of the political blocs are determined to resolve the position of the new Speaker of Parliament as quickly as possible
