Nawshirwan Mustafa al-Maliki is caused by the growing authority of the absence of real power to parliament
16/01/2012 | (Voice of Iraq) - Shirzad Shaikhani - Middle East sees the Kurdish political Nawshirwan Mustafa, head of the Kurdish opposition Movement for Change, to mediate the Kurdish does not work to resolve the political crisis in Iraq, and says: «This crisis is not the result of recent developments, nor is it a crisis of confidence between the two components, Shiite and Sunni, but a crisis of confidence among all the components, without exception, the Kurdish component ».
He said in an interview with «Middle East», yesterday in Sulaymaniyah, that if some people consider the Kurds as a mediator or as rumored (egg titles) to create a balance between Sunni and Shiite Arabs, others have a different opinion.
The following is the text of the interview: * Iraq is going through day acute political crisis Kurdish leaders fear the transmission of the fragments to Kurdistan, so they are too pre-occupied to mediate to resolve them before they lead to the eruption of sectarian conflict is destroying the country; a movement where you change from this crisis? - Monitoring the movement of change updates the situation in Iraq closely, and we have our own that may materialize in the political project of the Kurdish opposition.
Yes, there is a political crisis in Iraq, but it is not the result of recent developments only, which is not a crisis of confidence between the two components, Shiite and Sunni, but a crisis of confidence among all the components without the component to exclude Kurdish.
I think that mediate Kurdish does not work unless it falls solve the problem of the Kurdistan region with the Federal State in the heart of solutions to address the problem of Iraq as a whole, Kurdish people has its cause in Iraq is part of the problem is as much a part of the solution, and if some people consider the Kurds as a broker or as rumored «egg titles» to create a balance between the components Sunni and Shiite, others have a different opinion, but there are those who adopt a negative attitude is the Kurds body parasite feeds on the crisis between the two components, we are in the movement of change we see in both the angles of injustice against the people of Kurdistan and its cause The problem of the Kurds in Iraq is not over yet, even negated its role as a party to the conflict, and in return, the issue of the Kurdish people, just what can not confer upon racial characteristics.
Side of the crisis, I think, dealing selectively with the contract constitutional, everyone in Iraq select from the Constitution that is in favor and ignore constitutional obligations that that entails, and another aspect of the crisis, the absence of democratic culture between the parties, no one is pleased with the role of outside power, not accept any political power shift to the political opposition, while the democratic process is not based only if built on the twin pillars of power and the opposition.
Do you think that this crisis will have repercussions on the Kurdish situation in the Kurdistan Region? - I can not imagine a direct reflection on her territory, it may there is a negative reflection on the status of some of the leaders in the region who have tried to show themselves to the public as if they were a safety valve for all Iraqis, but it turns out that their status were not as they were imagined or portrayed to others.
Concerning the problem of the region, a problem the people and as a matter of people who have legitimate rights, they are a continuing problem and existed before the recent crisis, and will remain constant until the full implementation of the articles of the Constitution of the Kurdistan Region. * changed the tone of the Kurdish leadership in the recent period, where the former says that the Kurds are not part of the problems of Iraq, but today are considered the relationship with other political forces and unresolved issues between Erbil and Baghdad, part of the problem, and seek to exploit the national conference next to put these problems as part of a political deal, do you agree with this proposal? - I do not think anyone said that the Kurdish problem not part of Iraq's problems, some may say that the problem between Shiites and Sunnis do not matter as much as the Kurdish people care about their problems.
But we in the MDC does not see it, we believe that Iraq's problems are interrelated to each other, and even the internal problems of the territory is inseparable from the problems of Iraq as a whole, we have fellowship outstanding problems with the components Sunni and Shiite, and our differences with the ruling parties in the Territory on dealing with internal problems and problems with the federal government. *
There have been accusations of Iraqi Prime Minister to pursue the behavior of dictatorial rule in Iraq, do you favor this position? Do you feel that Maliki is leading Iraq dictatorship, especially that you have representatives in the Iraqi parliament, which is responsible for monitoring the performance of the government? - The problem of dictatorship is not a sectarian problem even say there is a dictatorship and there is a democracy, power corrupts nature and turn to evil absolute and dictatorships in all communities and nationalities are not rein in parallel by the authorities.
I believe that the growing authority of the Prime Minister is due to the absence of real power to the Iraqi Council of Representatives, and the reason for the absence of this power is due to that all the political parties represented in parliament, a power-sharing executive, and her ministers in the government, and does not accept that the turn to the opposition in the political process , and when it is free parliaments of the political opposition, there's no supervisory authority real, and become a shadow of the executive power and negatively affect even the independence of the judiciary, because the Parliament is the body that oversees the implementation of laws and requires the government to apply it, and if unable to Parliament on the performance of this task, can not also eliminate to force the executive branch to enforce its decisions.
In the absence of real power to the judiciary and the parliament is natural that the growing dominance of the executive branch, and is also growing authority of the Prime Minister within the executive branch, because the Council of Ministers has no power of control over himself or to the Prime Minister, no person can be an observer (broken pollinator) and observers (open pollinator) at the same time.
With regard to representatives of the mass change parliamentary, they block only opposition in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, and can not, Bmhadha eight, out of three hundred and twenty-five seats, to change the political equation intractable without the expansion of the opposition, across all components of Iraq. * accuse the parties in power not to fulfill its obligations to a number of decisions issued by the President of the Region to contain the crisis between the opposition and parties in power, and you said before the suspension of negotiations, five, do you think that this comment is enough to force the authority to respond to your demands and your project reform? - we do not Nrgmanm on that, because we do not have the means coercion, but call on them to create the ground towards resolving the political crisis in the territory of Kurdistan, there is a project of the opposition Kurdistan consists of six packages and the decisions of Parliament and the decisions of the presidency of the region requires the arrest of those accused of killing protesters and handed over to justice, and without taking steps in this direction are not negotiations, fruitful and end results of the return of hope to the citizens.
Citizens in the Kurdistan region despaired of long meetings are not viable, the real negotiations need a real will, and need to be a relationship of equal negotiators, from our side did not feel this will now not groping serious steps towards lifting the arbitrariness of the political opposition until the dialogue should be equal between the interlocutors. *
With the approaching transfer of power between the PUK and KDP have announced a position rejecting any post in the next government expected to be headed by Barzani, do not you think that your absence, this time also involved the government would hurt Bparwekm reform? - is still a priority change movement is to change the political system does not change in the aspects or members of the cabinet only, We have confirmed more than once that we do not care who rules the region as much as we care about how to govern our territory.
Government in the region is only part of the executive power to the presidency of the region, and the executive in its entirety is only part of the three powers to the legislative and judicial powers, and this means that even if we participated in the government will be our show without real reform in other authorities, and without a real change to the rules of the political struggle to match up opportunities for competition between the parties under the constitutional contract between the Authority and the people on the one hand, and between the contenders for power on the other. Therefore we have prepared our opposition Kurdistan in the «packages of political reform», we called b «packages» in the sense that a coherent interconnected and can be applied to part of it in isolation from other parts, this is our vision for reform, but we nevertheless support any step that is taken ruling parties toward reform, and can formation of the next government based on the formulation of its opposition to the packages, then we support and monitor the implementation and support of the government would be vested in the extent of application of these packages.
