The day of (July 25, 2009) in the
memory of Kurdistan people, is the unforgettable day, because from that time
the new phase of political and parliamentarian affairs started to begin by
leading of Gorran Movement and for 11 years that approach has been continuing
in order to make radial changes and achieving justice and the sovereignty of
law.
When corruption and injustice has
been prevail across the region, the reform movement stemmed from the center of
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) which its goals are ending corruption,
transparency in incomes, making radical reform. That movement led by Nawshirwan
Mustafa.
When Nawshirwan
Mustafa and his comrades had been hopeless
about making reform in their parties (PUK), they quit their political
struggling inside PUK, they came out and their first step was the establishment
of (Wsha) which was viewed a new model of media journalism, and actually the
media outlets of this company offered a new model an new image of media.
This political
movement firstly emerged in the scale of election list and in its first
experience in July 25, 2009, it got 25 chairs in the Kurdistan Parliament and
it can change the political map of the region. It also led the new model of
political affairs which is the parliamentarian opposition.
In its first
four years of parliamentarian opposition (2009 - 2013), except the defense of
its promise it mad before the election, it also led the opposition front, at
the same time, the approach of its partisan affairs and its bloc in the
parliament, viewed as a revolution of awareness by the Kurdistan Region
citizens. That is the main cause which encouraged people to support it. This is
the opposite of those opinions which thought that Gorran was a temporary
project. The support of Gorran by people in the later Iraqi and Kurdish elections
completely reflexed and Gorran’s vote had increased and it became the second
power in the Kurdistan Region.
In 2014, a
new phase of Gorran political affairs had started, which was the participation
in the government and getting the post of the lead of legislation power.
In this stage
Gorran continued to make radical reform and change in the eighth cabinet of
government and parliament, but obstacles had been increased and most of its political
partners left it behind, so that Gorran attempts to make reform were not just
obstructed, but also had sacrificed high cost of it. The obstacle of returning
the speaker of Parliament and oust of its ministers are the examples of its
sacrifices in order to achieve reform.
After 2018 parliamentarian
election, Gorran decided again to participate in the ninth cabinet of the
government, but the slogan of this participation is the same slogan of 2009 which
is the achievement of radical reform on the base of written political
agreement.
