He pointed out that the government is the first to resolve crises, but it cannot face stormy crises alone.
Al-Maliki stressed: “The government, political forces and all authorities each bear the responsibility for confronting major crises.

He stressed tha
t protecting society from infiltration and preserving its obligations, customs and traditions are important matters that should be focused on by the government, the judiciary, the House of Representatives and political forces.
Al-Maliki stressed the importance of the role of political forces, parties and movements in working according to the constitution, away from personal gains.
He continued: “Everyone’s efforts must be combined to confront crises and confront any deviation or departure from the constitutional foundations and principles.
