Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki declared that it will run for a third term, and considered it "perhaps intolerable" for the Egyptian people that their president has been nearly 30 years in power. "The Constitution does not prohibit third, even fourth or fifth term, but I've decided, and that from the beginning, not going beyond my current term.
"I hope to amend the Constitution to set a limit of two terms as prime minister," said Maliki , whose second government was sworn in by Parliament in December, more than nine months after the legislative elections. Maliki formed his first government in May 2006. "Two terms, eight years is enough for a prime minister, if you have a program, whether it is effective and cooperates with the Parliament." In all humility, during my first term I was able to cope with the confessional, Al Qaeda and the deterioration of security conditions.
"During this mandate, I concentrated on services and reconstruction," he added, citing in particular the oil contracts "which will save the Iraqi economy "and works in the electricity sector. "I'll finish the projects undertaken so that my successor finds solid performances and a better economy." When asked about their intentions at the end of the current mandate, says it has to continue in politics because his country "needs" to be rebuilt.
In Iraq, today the only limit to the number of terms, two of four years, concerns the president. Moreover, Maliki considered justified demands of the demonstrators in Egypt. "There is no true democracy in the region except Iraq, and one of the forms of democracy is not a man to remain in power 30 or 40 years," said Iraqi Prime Minister, 60 years old and spent more 20 years in exile.
