Member of Parliament Hussein Shaker said that Iraq’s Parliament will resume its work after the legislative recess with a focus on passing several important laws that have been delayed for some time.
According to Shaker, lawmakers are expected to prioritize legislation that addresses the country’s current needs and responds to issues that matter most to citizens.
He said there is a growing effort within Parliament to avoid the political disputes that disrupted previous sessions and slowed the passage of key legislation. Those disagreements, he noted, often affected the performance of the legislative body and prevented important laws from moving forward.
Shaker stressed that the next phase will require greater cooperation between political blocs if Parliament is to complete its remaining legislative agenda and strengthen the work of state institutions.
He emphasized that lawmakers should focus on the public interest rather than political conflicts, arguing that successful legislative and oversight work depends on finding common ground and working together.
According to Shaker, overcoming political differences is essential if Parliament hopes to meet public expectations and contribute to greater political and institutional stability in the country.
Several major laws remain stalled and are expected to be among the top priorities when Parliament returns. These include the Popular Mobilization Forces Law, the Oil and Gas Law, amendments to the Land Ownership Law, and amendments to the Federal Supreme Court Law.
Shaker said passing these laws will require political consensus and a willingness to place national interests above partisan disagreements. He believes that resolving these issues could help move important reforms forward and improve the effectiveness of state institutions.
As Parliament prepares to resume its sessions, attention will be focused on whether lawmakers can overcome past divisions and make progress on legislation that has been delayed for years. postponed laws
