Parliament will ask the Central Governor about the dollar next week… Representative Hussein Arab Small Jordan takes most of Iraq’s dollars, and our bills deceive Washington.. A deputy accuses the Central Bank of the details

Previously, the invoices were fake, while today the invoices are real, but at double prices, and therefore it is a conspiracy against the Iraqi economy and by Iraqi hands, and we must stand as one man against the theft of the Iraqi people’s money.
The money of depositors in banks is now in danger. The government prevents the circulation of the dollar, but allows the opening of official accounts in the dollar currency. Some banks do not have cash from the Iraqi dinar due to the absence of reinforcement from the central bank. We are heading towards the Lenovation of Iraq, and we will move in parliament to hold the central bank accountable regarding dollar transfers.
We will address a parliamentary question to the Governor of the Central Bank early next week during the parliamentary sessions, and in the event of collusion by individuals or the administration of the House of Representatives, the opinion will remain the opinion of the street, and the political chambers have weakened the role of the House of Representatives in every way, so the political decision is the ruling one, and we will take our official measures within the House.
The Al-Basas coalition aims to reach the leadership of the state, as the civil political identity disturbs the dominant powers, and I do not prefer the path of demonstration, but rather through the democratic process through the ballot boxes.
In the year 2021, the votes of independents reached 2 million and 480 thousand votes, which is a significant number, so gathering these votes in “St.
There are parties funded from abroad, and we are a group of merchants and businessmen in the Basic Alliance and financed by ourselves. We do not have millions to give to the bloc’s candidates, but rather everyone finances from himself. https://964media.com/231161/

Points to Ponder on The Value of Challenge:
Challenge is life’s way of making sure that you truly desire the things you achieve. Challenge is an excellent tool for keeping you focused on the things that really matter to you.
Imagine for a moment what it would be like to live in a world with no challenge. In such a world, you could obtain anything and everything with no need for effort, discipline or commitment. Does that sound like a great setup, with your every wish fulfilled the moment you think of it?
Well, it might be nice for 20 minutes or so,but it would soon grow extremely tiresome. For such a world would literally overwhelm you with meaningless triviality.
Sure, every wish would be instantly granted, but it would all be painfully empty.
The value of achievement is in the achieving, in the overcoming of the challenges, in the person you become as a result of going through the process.
To have the reward without the effort is to have no reward at all, nothing but an empty and meaningless token.
Challenge is difficult, often painful, always demanding, and as such, challenge is what makes true value, beauty and fulfillment possible. Challenge can be tough, yet indeed it brings about the
richness and fullness of life. Ralph Marston
