Iraq MP Opposes New Offices and Ministries
An Iraqi deputy submitted a lawsuit to the Supreme Court challenging the creation of positions for the Deputy Prime Ministers and three new ministries, arguing that this violates the provisions of the Constitution, particularly Article 139, which specifies the number of Deputy Prime Ministers in the first session. Political objections to these positions have intensified, with the Iraqi Communist Party and other national forces viewing them as a means for the power-sharing parties to monopolize authority. This has led to widespread criticism of the policy of distributing positions based on ethnic and sectarian quotas. Additionally, during the parliamentary session, a majority vote was held in favor of the government formation, amidst significant disagreements over the representation of components and minorities. The ongoing approach of quota-based allocation continues to prioritize the interests of major powers over national aspirations, reflecting a lack of an alternative fair system that ensures balance and genuine representation for all components.
