IS MP: Talabani not to withdraw confidence from Maliki

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP, Faris al-Sinjri, of the Iraqiya Slate expected that the President, Jalal Talabani, will not do the procedures to withdraw confidence from the Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki at the present time.

Speaking to Iraqi News (IraqiNews.com) , he stated “I do not expect Talabani to do so due to the regional and international pressures over this issue,” noting that “The attendants in Erbil and Najaf meetings did not take these pressures into consideration and were convinced to withdraw confidence from Maliki or setting real guarantees to apply Erbil agreement.”

“Talabani is waiting the response of the Iraqi National Alliance whether they present a replacement to Maliki this week or not,” he added, assuring that “No real procedures are done yet over this issue.”

The political process witnesses complicated disputes between the Iraqiya Slate and the State of Law Coalition over not applying Erbil agreement and the council of the strategic policies.

The political leaders held a meeting on Saturday at the residence of the head of the Sadr Trend, Muqtada al-Sadr, to discuss the political crisis after the end of the set time to Maliki to respond to the letter of Erbil meeting.
