The “round table” meeting

The Fed­eral Court

Before the Fed­eral Court’s deci­sion to can­cel the Parliament’s open ses­sion, Lebanese news­pa­per Al-Mustaqbal expected this order saying:

Maliki Pres­sure on the par­lia­men­tary blocs to speed up the solu­tion of the polit­i­cal cri­sis to coin­cide with rapid changes and the emer­gence of a rival can­di­date to face Maliki in the strug­gle for the prime minister’s office.

How­ever, con­sti­tu­tion­ally, this res­o­lu­tion is not bind­ing, because it did not come from the Con­sti­tu­tional Court, which has not yet been formed. The Fed­eral Court should rule on issues related to admin­is­tra­tive mat­ters and fed­eral affairs.

The role of the Fed­eral Court has been talked about to death ear­lier, when the same court explained the mean­ing of “the largest bloc” in the parliament.

The round table

Fol­low­ing the “State of Law” accord to attend the meet­ings in Irbil, which became known as the round-table meet­ing, a senior leader in Dawa Party revealed that the National Alliance and the Kur­dis­tan Alliance reached a final agree­ment by sub­mit­ting an attach­ment to the Kur­dish demands doc­u­ment, to char­ac­ter­ize the gov­ern­ment pro­gram for the next period.

In the same con­text, unex­pected dif­fer­ences came out in the meet­ing that have occurred yes­ter­day between the Dawa Party and the Sadrists meet­ing, who announced their rejec­tion of many items in the Kur­dis­tan Alliance’s doc­u­ment. A rejec­tion could destroy all Maliki’s efforts to win a sec­ond term.

Maliki’s plan regard­ing the “round-Table” meet­ing, is revealed by Al-Hayat saying:

Al-Iraqiya in Irbil

Iyad Allawi, in a cru­cial visit to Arbil at the invi­ta­tion of the Kur­dish lead­er­ship to hold talks on end­ing the cri­sis in Iraq.

Among the lead­ers del­e­ga­tion who accom­pa­nied Allawi is the Kurds oppo­nent Osama Nujaifi. Allawi is keen this time to take Nujaifi to Irbil, as a ges­ture to extend the max­i­mum pos­si­ble con­ces­sions, he offers to the Kurds, par­tic­u­larly in terms of the dis­puted areas and the sit­u­a­tion on Mosul.
