The draft law of food security is one of the controversial laws in Iraq because of the disagreement on it among the political parties, which threatens to increase the uncertainty of the political scene.
Some forces believe that this law will achieve food security for Iraq, alleviate poverty and provide financial stability, amid the current international circumstances and the tensions due to the Russia-Ukraine war, high global food prices, and the lack of food imports, especially wheat and cooking oils.
The law is considered to facilitate the process of providing services to citizens and raising their standard of living, after the rise in national oil revenues.
Last month, Iraq achieved the highest oil revenues in 50 years, benefiting from the rise in international product prices, and the war on Ukraine.
On the other hand, other parliamentary forces believe that the law may be an introduction to corruption cases, a waste of money, and an excuse for the dominant forces in Parliament to ignore the budget law, especially in the failure to form a new government.
