{Baghdad: Al Furat News} Representative of the State of Law bloc, Mansour Al-Baiji, expressed of the “reform measures undertaken by the government that were proposed through a copy of the leaked financial budget draft and” containing catastrophic points that will lead to great harm to all of the Iraqi people, and this matter cannot be accepted Permanently”.
Al-Baiji explained in a statement that Al-Furat News received a copy of, “It would have been better for the government to take more serious reform steps through its support for the industry, agriculture and trade sectors to supplement the budget, not to cut off the people’s livelihood and raise the value of the dollar against the dinar, which would cause an economic disaster for the country.” .
He added, “If the budget law is sent in its leaked form, we will not pass it through the House of Representatives, and we will not be a reason to punish our people in this disastrous way under the name of reforming the economy or any other name because this matter is considered destruction for our people.”
Al-Baiji explained that “the current situation in the country does not bear such wages, especially since our people are waiting for a lot from the government in the next year’s budget, such as the release of job grades and the salaries of free lecturers, the return of those whose contracts were canceled, and the confirmation of contracts because the government does not cut salaries and other things will lead to the collapse of the general situation in the country.”
He called on the government to “review itself and take more serious measures, especially in the next year’s budget, before sending it to Parliament in its leaked form, because we will not pass next year’s budget in this format, and we will not stand against our people, whatever the reason.”
It is noteworthy that a copy of the draft fiscal budget for 2021 was leaked earlier to the media and social networking sites, and sparked widespread controversy and turmoil in the foreign currency market, as the dollar exchange rate rose in the local market in a frenzy and exceeded 1,300 dinars.
