Although the Iraqi Planning Ministry expects the unemployment rate to fall compared to the past three years due to the employment of higher education graduates, but observers and economists believe that without opening new factories and restarting factories With the disabled unemployed for two decades, it is difficult to reduce the unemployment rate in the country become.

"The poverty rate will reach 16.5 percent in 2021, including women's unemployment," Planning Ministry spokesman Abdul Zahra Hindwi said 8% and 14% for men,” he said. “The unemployment rate can be reduced through new factories "Therefore, the unemployment rate will be clear in the general census.

"About 80 percent of the budget is spent on salaries. The government cannot find any way to solve the labor crisis because the country's economy is controlled by the armed forces," Ansari said ""

Meanwhile, economist Nabil Marsoumi said: "Unemployment is increasing and not decreasing, because it increases by one million people annually, that is, about half a million individuals enter the labor market, which means that there is a need to create a working environment "The unemployment rate among the youth has exceeded 35 percent. Iraq needs to diversify its economy to create jobs for the youth."

"Are we a federal state; or is Baghdad a central government," said Masrour Barzani, the Kurdistan Regional Government's prime minister, at the Middle East Peace and Security Forum (MEPS-2023).

Iraq as a federal state, but moving towards dictatorship and authoritarianism of a group of Iraqis, opposition to the region as their main goal, the problem is that the party culture has not yet matured All goals and strategies should be for the greater goal of serving the people, providing their salaries and needs and continuous development, just as the statesman soon announced the foundation stone of a factory in Duhok and the opening of an iron factory in Erbil.

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister is concerned about providing thousands of jobs for young people through the revival of the sectors (agriculture, industry and tourism), but some people are behaving like authoritarian Iraqi authorities and not follow a foreign non-national agenda.

Amidst all this disorder, misguidance, bargaining and shiny slogans, the prime minister is working to save his entire people from all this trouble and chaos created for us. When the Kurds are attacked, they first attack the Kurdish national authority, Barzani and both the presidency of the Kurdistan Region and the ninth cabinet. The logic of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister Masrour Barzani's rule to serve his people is much greater than partisanship and narrow ideology.

Here comes Barzan's path of patriotism and national spirit, when the prime minister wants to save his nation from the siege and behind the scenes of unconstitutional and illegal decisions of the Federal Court of Iraq and the Paris Court and regional conspiracies Interests and so-called opposition people, without any national vision and strategy and without being familiar with the reality of the situation in Iraq, go to deceive a number of their supporters against their government We go to the Kurdistan Parliament and bargaining, deception and poison of opinions foreign to this society are being fed to the people from all sides.

This is in order to create chaos, division and chaos in order to end the Kurdish national thought in the region and towards an Iraq full of chauvinist and religious thought and anti-Kurdish into an uncertain fate. The most beautiful evidence was the handover of the Kurdistan Region's oil and the implementation of all our commitments with Baghdad, instead of the Kurdistan Region's share and articles of the constitution, but decision after decision to suspend and destroy the government The Kurdistan Region stressed that it would not be ready to compromise its constitutional rights.

We will win this difficult war with the same successful war of budget cuts, economic sanctions, falling oil prices, the legacy of coronavirus, climate change and drought, as long as the government is the servant and protector of its citizens Nationalism is at its peak. In the elections, it is clear whom people will vote for. They will vote for Barzani and the defender of national achievements Despite the shortcomings created by the invaders, the only hope and light is Barzani and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).

A political party cannot be formed in the democratic process and achieve governance unless it is born in the pain of its nation.

Perhaps one of the most complicated problems of the Kurdish nation is due to the fact that no other party except the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) carries a national thought for all Kurds and Kurdistanis To oppose the PKK and other nationalist thought, there are Brotherhood, jihadist and desert views established far from the mountains, which is never compatible with the legitimate wishes of the Kurds and Kurdish culture.

Unfortunately, any interested party in Kurdistan takes advantage of the foreign agenda and often at the expense of the suffering and torture of the people and start establishing political parties, which is only to fill the seats in parliament and gain material benefits from the electoral process. The process that is obviously born in the chaos of the political process, carries the slogan of big and big without implementation, full of the Kurdish proverb that (lifting a big stone is a sign of not throwing).

It is very strange that the number of political parties in Kurdistan has become so large that every year the party splits and new parties are established. Only the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) led by President Massoud Barzani was founded by Mullah Mustafa Barzani The slogan “It is a pride to be a servant of one's nation” was coined by Mullah Mustafa, the Kurdish symbol, alongside the “Kurdistan or disappearance” of the September Revolution.

The PKK is a party that does not dominate the nation and does not spread an ideology. The PKK was established to implement the rights and demands of the people, achieve freedom and protect the dignity of the Kurdish individual He is in the government by day and by night on social media and anti-government channels. There are political parties that have no daily activities except opposing the government. It is strange that the government that belongs to the people and the same political party that opposes it today and follows the agenda and foreign intervention to defame the government, but finally itself in the electoral process trying to win seats in parliament There are many examples of parties in the previous sessions of parliament that have reached parliament, government, positions, powers, ministers, high responsibilities and institutions, but now they are making themselves angels and criticizing for political purposes.

I have never said that the government is not without shortcomings. I know that any other government instead of the ninth cabinet would have collapsed soon and its nation would have suffered They called on Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Sudani to cut the budget and salaries of the Kurdish people.

The ninth cabinet of the Kurdistan Regional Government has a brave president who did not leave his nation in the difficult days and continued the process of governance, which is the only glimmer of our hopes and aspirations. Because he knows that all the legitimate demands of the people and two hopes can only be fulfilled through the government for his nation.

There are political parties that do not compromise on the rights of the Kurdish people from their opponents, but they take positions and achievements from them at the expense of the highest interests of the Kurds. Therefore, the electoral legislation should be reviewed in this session of parliament. We cannot have 100 seats, 100 political parties and 100 candidates, political backwardness and the will of the parties imposed on the will of the Kurdish people I heard a minister from one of the Islamic parties say: “When we were in opposition, we taught people to fight and swear. Therefore, the political party should be a tool to achieve the legitimate rights of the Kurdish people and serve the people, not the other way around.
