An
MP of Nasr Alliance - headed by Haidar al-Abadi - said on Sunday that turning to
the opposition does not mean targeting the government of Adil Abd al-Mahdi and seeking
to bring it down.
In press remarks, Seham Shannon said that her party has joined the opposition to assess the government's performance and strictly monitor the implementation of the government's program approved by the parliament members.
"The most important reason that led us to the opposition ranks is the reluctance of the government to implement its program, especially in the field of unemployment, which has become the most serious phenomenon in our society," Shannon added.
The Nasr MP accused the government of "not paying attention to the reopening of the halted projects and factories, which the government promised [to reopen] in its government program during the first months."
