MESOP NEWS “PRACTICAL JOKE” : THE MEDIA FOR THE PARTY = THE PARTY FOR THE MEDIA = DEMOCRACY !

Kurdish media mogul aims to establish own party

 ARA News – 26 July 2017 – Shaswar Qadir, the owner of Kurdistan’s NRT pro-opposition television network, said that he wants to establish a new political party in Iraqi Kurdistan. On November 1, 2017, parliamentary and presidential elections will take place in the Kurdistan Region.

“Qadir freely admits his interest: If an election is held, he intends to form his own electoral list and make a bid to become prime minister,” the Washington Post reported.“His aim is to mobilize Kurdistan’s post-Hussein generation, which has no recollection of the existential threat the Iraqi dictator once posed to the Kurdish nation, and which wants a pragmatic government that can provide still-missing basic services, such as reliable electricity,” the newspaper added.The establishment of a new party to challenge the rule of the Patriotic Union Party (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) could further fragmentize the opposition vote.  www.mesop.de
