Weekly Dialogue Summery – 43th Week
The multiple demands and financial sections without an increase in the budget number puts the budget into a bottleneck with continuous attempts to get it out of the bottle, which leads to achieve the interests of Iraq’s enemies from inside and outside. In addition, it results in a number of negative consequences in the Iraqi environment, including: creating blurriness and randomness among the public opinion on a yearly basis to confuse the real plans of construction and building, delaying or not applying the actual plans for which the budget was prepared, and distracting the budget’s sections and spending them in unplanned places, which causes a confusion in the planning process.
Conclusions:
· Among the important files that must be resolved during the upcoming period is the positive dialogue between the Center and the Region.
· The big number of the political parties approved by the Electoral Commission gives a clear indicator to the unchanged political facts of the upcoming parliament elections.
· There is an increasing number of the electronic armies in Iraq and its increasing danger on the coherence of the Iraqi societal structure and its intellectual integrity.
· The public consciousness is the basis on which governance is based, and no political or non-political bodies can mobilize their audience against the homeland’s partners of other ethnic groups and sects.
· The results of the reconciliation body was not shown significantly during the last years despite the support given to it, which was reflected on the fact that the hotbeds of terrorism in the hot spots were not eliminated over the past years.
Recommendations:
· One of the necessities of the upcoming stage is the convergence between the Center and Region, through the open dialogue that looks ahead. In this regard, RCD offers to be a transparent link to organize a dialogue table in the holy city of Najaf.
· Iraq does not need this huge number of parties as much as its need for harmony and unifying the visions of the major political parties and congruence of their objectives to serve the country.
· The Iraqi government must have a bigger oversight position of using social media to prevent the negative messages directed to the society or those inciting violence and secularism, while preserving the freedom of expression.
· To work for instilling a spirit of brotherhood among the people of one homeland and raising the cultural level of audiences through awareness raising and openness to the world through cultural exchange programs.
· To work for redesigning the work mechanisms of the reconciliation commission, focusing on the future, taking into consideration the interests of all parties, and regulate all this in laws and charts that make them rest assured.
