Shafaq News/ An informed political source revealed, on Friday, that the demonstrations that took place in Baghdad against the candidacy of Hoshyar Zebari for the position of President of the Republic were paid and cost the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan tens of thousands of dollars.
During the past few days, Baghdad witnessed a gathering of a number of individuals in areas close to the Green Zone in the center of the Iraqi capital carrying banners expressing their rejection of Zebari assuming the presidency.
The source told Shafaq News Agency, on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, that “the demonstrations that took place in Baghdad against Zebari’s candidacy were paid for by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.”
The source explained that “three demonstrations that took place for this purpose cost the union about 100,000 dollars, which were distributed to the participants.”
It seems that the National Union is trying to distort Zebari’s image to increase the chances of its candidate, current President Barham Salih, to take office for a second presidential term.
And last week, the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Shwan Muhammad Taha, told Shafaq News Agency, “These demonstrations are not popular, but there are political parties standing behind them,” noting that “the elements of these demonstrations are from the brigades of the Presidency of the Republic, and we know them well, and they are motivated Who drives them and who pays them?
The Iraqi parliament is scheduled to hold a special session next week to choose a new president from among 25 candidates, most notably Zebari and Saleh.
