KTFA: Samson: The Federal Court again fails to rule on the claim to dissolve the Iraqi parliament
1st September, 2022
The Federal Supreme Court (the highest judicial authority in Iraq) failed for the third time in a row this week to issue a ruling in the case of dissolving the House of Representatives.
A judicial source told Shafak News Agency, that the Federal Court raises its session in the cases of dissolving the House of Representatives and sets next Wednesday as a date for issuing the decision.
The Federal Court was scheduled to issue its ruling in that case yesterday, Wednesday, 31 August, but it was postponed to the first day of the month of September.
The Federal Court had set August 30 as the date to consider the Sadrist movement’s lawsuits to dissolve parliament, but it postponed its decision due to the disruption of official working hours and the curfew against the backdrop of the bloody clashes that occurred in the heavily fortified Green Zone in the center of the capital, Baghdad.
Nassar al-Rubaie, Secretary-General of the Sadrist bloc, had filed a lawsuit against the President of the Republic, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to rule to dissolve the House of Representatives for its fifth session, and to oblige the President of the Republic to set a date for holding legislative elections in accordance with the provisions of Article 64/second of the Constitution.
The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, had called on the Supreme Judicial Council to dissolve parliament within a period not exceeding the twentieth of this month, and assigning the President of the Republic to set a date for early elections, but the Council responded to al-Sadr’s request to dissolve parliament, saying: “He does not have this authority.” .
The content of the lawsuit deals with accusations of failing to elect a President of the Republic and violating the constitutional deadlines for forming the new government. LINK

1st September, 2022
The State of Law coalition confirmed, on Thursday, that it would respect any decision issued by the Federal Court regarding considering the claim to dissolve parliament and hold early elections, noting that the stage the country is going through is a very difficult stage and requires the solidarity of all political forces to overcome the revival of strife again after If God protects us from its evil.
The deputy of the coalition, Muhammad Al-Sihoud, said in a statement to / the information /, that “what the Federal Court will decide today on the pretext of dissolving parliament and holding early elections will be respected by the coordination framework because it believes in the state of institutions and considers the Federal Court is the last bastion of the democratic system,” noting that the coordinating framework respected all the rulings of the Federal Court, even those that were invalid.
Chihod added, “The stage that the country is going through is a very difficult stage and requires the solidarity of all political forces to overcome the revival of sedition after God has protected us from its evil,” noting that “whoever believes that the framework did not welcome the initiative of Mr. Al-Sadr is more important.”

MilitiaMan: So It looks like the Federal Court had the Dissolution File on the table today, as noted directly above and will issue the decision on next Wednesday.
Well that may not happen, even if they made a decision today and are to hold back telling what it is until next week. There could be prior to that date, noted in the below whereby they nominate the President of the Republic. However, in my view, that is likely not going to happen or it would have been done already.
It matters not though imo, as either way it is a win win for us.. imo..
They have the 2022 budget that can be implemented immediately per Salih. The EFSL can cover it too with the dissolution or they nominate the President. The old law of 2019 covers it, as it is not new law and it is ready.
Either way this is looking very good.. imo. ~ MM

MilitiaMan: I could see the need for this meeting yesterday. The CBI will want those in this meeting to have the truth from the horses mouth. They’ll be a mechanism to help citizens during the roll out and for the intentions of the CBI going forward.
The currency window for instance will not be the same as before. Once they change the exchange rate the money sold will likely be tracked. Just as the contracts will be.
The Central Bank will or is to likely have a block chain Platform for the monitoring of trade and other economic issues. I think that is fairly clear by now. The efficiency is going to be far better than in the past, far more transparent and trade can be cleared within a day, as opposed to days or more.
The AMF on the same day had meetings on similar issues that include digital currencies and with the likes of the World Bank, Bank of International Settlements, International institutions, etc.. This is not a new topic. It has been in the works for years now.
The BUNA Platform is a Block Chain system. ASYCUDA at the borders is also a Block Chain System. There are no coincidences in these meeting coinciding with each other.. imo.. I like what we are seeing. Interconnectivity is coming.. ~ MM

Popeye7: Imo, thanks again MM for your analysis of what may seem to be a dire situation from just the casual observer… They are moving right along despite the corruption, and are dealing with that as well… All governments have corruption around the world on some level, and of course some are worse than others… The need to deal with it swiftly utilizing a rod of iron, and making sure that those who are pilfering the people with whom they are governing have no more avenues with which to do so, is being done now in Iraq…
The plan has been in motion for a while, and has really picked up steam during this last year… It has always been a matter of when it was time for this very important process of monetary reform to be complete as it pertains to far more than just economic circumstances worldwide…
