The Kurdistan Democratic Party expects a delay in the formation of the Iraqi government due to “regional and international interference”.
The head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc in the Iraqi parliament, Shakhwan Abdullah, predicted on Tuesday that the formation of the next federal government, headed by Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zidi, would be postponed until next week, attributing the reason to international and regional interventions.
Abdullah told reporters that the ministries, in terms of their distribution among the three political components (Shiites, Kurds, and Sunnis), have been completed, but there are some obstacles that may prevent the vote on the government within the Iraqi parliament, represented by regional and international interventions, describing these interventions as a “reality that cannot be ignored” imposed since 2003, which played a role in the formation of successive governments after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime.
He pointed out that the interventions have brought about changes in some positions regarding some forces that want to participate in the new government, which they are not allowed to do, but there is insistence from some parties on their active participation, in reference to the American “veto” that rejects the involvement of armed factions in the Iraqi government.
The head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc concluded his statement by saying: These interventions may delay the formation of the government for several days, and if an agreement is not reached tonight, the process of granting confidence will be postponed until next week.
