Shafaq News / Al-Fateh parliamentary bloc led by Secretary-General of Badr Organization Hadi al-Amiri expressed on Monday its rejection for the distribution of the ministerial portfolios among political parties, while supporting the adoption of a system of components in this context.

The deputy of Al-Fath Fadel Al-Fatlawi told Shafaq News that “some political parties have mortgaged their participation in the government by obtaining some positions and ministerial portfolios by the Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Al-Kathemi.”

He added that " Al-Fateh bloc categorically rejects the distribution of ministerial portfolios and the formation of the next government among the political parties and blocs, while at the same time it supports the formation of the ministerial cabinet on the basis of Iraqi components."

Al-Fatlawi said , "We want the next government to be more professional, national, and highly efficient, and to work on the tasks assigned to it, which is to end Corona crisis, approve the budget law, revive the Iraqi economy, and prepare the election procedure."

On Thursday, April 9th , the Iraqi President, Barham Salih assigned the head of the Intelligence Agency, Mustafa Al-Kathemi to form the new Iraqi government, after Adnan Al-Zorfi announced that stepped down from this mission.

It should be noted that Al-Kathemi has a 30-day deadline beginning April 9 to form the new government that Muhammad Allawi and Adnan al-Zorfi failed to form.

Al-Kathemi’s mission appears easier than his predecessors, given the support he receives from the majority of Shi’ite, Sunni, and Kurdish blocs.

As Al-Kathemi pledged to form a government that would provide services to citizens and work to confine arms to the state and preserve the country’s sovereignty.
