“The parliament began its scheduled session today," noting that "the meeting will focus on the issue of the budget in order to read and approve the budget draft that will be at the forefront of the agenda,” A source in the parliament told “Shafaq News “.

The issue of the budget has sparked significant differences among the political forces in the parliament , in particular between the State of Law coalition led by Prime Minister , Nuri al-Maliki and Kurdistan Alliance , which accuses Baghdad of taking the region's share of the budget as the alliance conditioned to meet its demands in order to attend the sessions.
