under the Civil Democratic Alliance
The Iraqi Communist Party announced on 9
December that it will be contesting the forthcoming parliamentary elections in
April 2014 within the Civil Democratic Alliance. It pointed out that some political
blocs have failed with their sectarian plans and are now attempting to take
part in the elections under the guise of
a “civil democratic” program.
Jassim al-Hilfi, member of the party’s
Political Bureau, said in a statement published by “Tareeq Al-Shaab” (People’s
Path), Iraqi CP’s daily newspaper, that the party “remains part of the
Democratic Current which took part In the provincial elections earlier this
year and won 11 seats.” He confirmed that the “Communist Party will contest the
parliamentary elections in April 2014 as part of the Civil Democratic Alliance,
against blocs whose sectarian plans have failed are trying once again to take
part in the elections under a civil democratic cover, but the essence of their thought
is sectarian.”
He said that the Civil Democratic Alliance
include the forces of the Democratic Current (such as the Communist Party, National
Democratic Part, Arab Socialist Movement, Democratic Action Party, Umma Party)
as well as the People’s Party, several other forces and independent figures. “These
democratic politicians have not been tarnished by corruption and shedding the
blood of Iraqis, and are known for their integrity, competence and support for
the ci,vil democratic alternative.
Raid Fahmi, member of the Political Bureau of
the Iraqi Communist Party, told “Shafaq News” agency that the Civil Democratic
Alliance is expected to do well in provinces in southern Iraq, including
Basrah, Thi Qar and Muthanna, as well as Baghdad, as it did in the provincial
elections.
The Communist Party had launched its 80th
anniversary celebrations last October in the city of Nasseriyah (in southern
Iraq) which had witnessed its beginnings. The party was founded on 31 March
1934. The program of the 80th anniversary celebrations includes many
political and cultural events in Baghdad and all over Iraq that will continue
well into 2014.
