Al-Mashhadani - Iraq enjoys stability is on the verge of economic prosperity and has returned to its influential role in the regionParliament Speaker Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani stressed that Iraq enjoys stability and is on the verge of economic prosperity and has returned to its influential role in the region.

Al-Mashhadani said in a televised interview with Al-Iraqiya channel that there are important laws that need to be voted on, and most of them are not controversial, including (personal status and general amnesty).

He added that there is a mechanism within the draft amnesty law that includes the exit of innocent people only, and the exit process is conditional and subject to a series of procedures. He indicated that the Personal Status Law is only waiting for the subject of the code to proceed with voting on it, and this code is related to the Shiite component.

He pointed out that the Sunni component does not need a code and they have no problem with continuing to work with Law No. 188. He explained that there is consensus to change the retirement law and return it to 63 years.

Al-Mashhadani said that the Popular Mobilization Forces retirement law is one of the important laws and we are waiting for its return from the government. The dispute over it is political and relates to the retirement age.

He added that no law related to the election law has reached parliament, and there are different opinions about amending the election law, including granting 10 percent to independents, and there are other opinions, including making Iraq a single district, and others want the governorate to be a single district, while there should be more than one district for governorates with a large population.

He explained that it is premature to talk about the election law and it is still in the presidency of the republic.

Al-Mashhadani described the approval of the general amnesty law as a fortification of the internal house.

Al-Mashhadani pointed out that coordination between the countries of the region is required regarding Syria to prevent chaos, stressing the necessity of communication with the new Syrian leadership through the government.

He said that we fear an Islamic spring because of abandoning Gaza and not stopping the killing there, indicating that there is a wound in Gaza that will not heal except by punishing the negligent rulers.
