Baghdad – WAA
MPs and political experts expressed their confidence in the government’s progress towards achieving the people’s aspirations through service and strategic projects and completing what it started through its ministerial program, pointing out that the targeting led by some politically harmed people will not stop the wheel of progress.
Government success solves files pending for 20 years
MP Hussein Habib said in an interview with the (INA): “Since its first days, the government has begun serious work to provide services to the people and achieve their aspirations, which prompted the representatives to support it.”
He added, “The government was able to find solutions to problems that have been pending for more than twenty years, such as the lecturers’ file, contracts, stalled projects, providing services to deprived areas, completing hospitals, many of which were previously out of service, and also finding practical solutions that were translated into projects to resolve traffic congestion.”
He added, “What the government has done and continues to do within its program has made some political forces sense the danger because they have not succeeded in positions of responsibility in the past.”
The government continues to fulfill its promises to the people.
In turn, the head of the National Approach Bloc, MP Ibtisam Al-Hilali, told the (INA): “The achievements made by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani during his tenure as prime minister are great and unprecedented, and he fulfilled his promise when he considered 2024 the year of achievements, as the people reap the fruits of completing important and strategic projects, most notably his projects of building bridges and overpasses and relieving traffic congestion in Baghdad.”
She added, “This success has envious and rejecting people who launched a fabricated attack to cover up the corruption files and the corrupt, especially the theft of the century. This attack is the price of success in fulfilling promises to the people and implementing the contents of the ministerial program.”
MP Ruqayya Al-Nouri confirmed in her interview with the (INA) that “democratic work is a great responsibility that depends on connections with the House of Representatives and political parties and requires cooperation from all parties to support the government that plays the role of a father and deals positively with all parties and political forces in the political process.”
She added, “Political differences are addressed through democratic means and the constitution, and the government of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is a national service government that has been and continues to provide services, and the urban and service renaissance is clear,” stressing that “al-Sudani’s government is supported by the State Administration Alliance within Parliament.”
The government’s reform approach has harmed the supporters of corruption.
Political analyst Ali Al-Baydar confirmed to the (INA) that “what some are raising is expected with the aim of influencing the reformist service role that the Prime Minister is pursuing in the field of combating corruption, striking the corrupt, undermining their influence, and recovering money and wanted persons.”
He added, “The approach of Al-Sudani’s government does not please many of the parties that have been harmed because they live on corruption and chaos and support them. Therefore, these steps aim to undermine the reform role and create a fragmented reality that serves a specific group at the expense of the presence of the state, law and order, and their influence in the Iraqi scene.”
Stirring up crises to obstruct government work
For his part, political analyst Hamza Mustafa said in an interview with the (INA): “There are parties trying to cover up corruption files, which prompted them to weave attempts to bring down, personalize, and prejudge cases whose files are supposed to be left to the judiciary and no political discussion is raised about them.”
He added, “What is being raised is an attempt to put obstacles in the way of the steps of success achieved by Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Sudani through the work of his government, which has received the support of the Iraqi street and the citizen sees as real steps to build a state, whether at the level of services or infrastructure.”
The Prime Minister’s popularity is growing.
Political analyst Sarmed Al-Bayati told the (INA) that “there are those who are trying to disrupt and obstruct the work of the government despite its achievements, especially in the service sector, as Iraq is witnessing real and unprecedented construction, which requires solidarity with the government and not disrupting it.”
He added, “The judiciary is the arbiter of cases brought before it, and political slander may not be used to exploit some positions against the government in a negative political manner.”
In turn, political analyst Nabil Al-Azzawi told the (INA): “This attack can be interpreted as political behavior aimed at obstructing the government’s unprecedented achievements, and it expresses some people’s fear of the Prime Minister’s growing popularity among Iraqis.”
He added, “These positions will not undermine the work of the government, which is continuing on its path. The current stage is a stage of establishment and achievement to achieve the aspirations of the Iraqi people, and the government will not pay attention to the voices that want to stop the wheel of progress.”
