Saleh al-Mutlaq salh It was Maliki's coalition, said in May last that the latter decided to change its decision to sack his deputy, Saleh al-Mutlaq of office taken in December last year.

Mutlaq heads the National Dialogue Front, fall under the list. Included Mutlaq de-Baathification procedures and farther from the decision of the accountability and justice from participating in the political process but agreed politically made it possible to drop the proceedings against him after signing a renunciation of the dissolved Baath Party.

Maliki decided to freeze the work of the Office of Vice President Saleh al-Mutlaq, against the backdrop of the recent characterization of him as "dictator", a single ill-considered al-Maliki for him and the Iraqi state.

And later echoed word "dictator" by the accused al-Maliki in the management of the Iraqi state in the words of prominent leaders, including the cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and the Iraqi leader Iyad Allawi and the Kurdish regional President Massoud Barzani.

The MP said the state law in favor Hasnawi told the Kurdish news agency (Rn) that "the issue of Vice President Saleh al-Mutlaq, on its way to the solution and that he exercised his duties in his office and his return to the cabinet very close."

He added that "there are blocks of many political brokered for the return of al-Mutlaq to work," pointing out that "the return it is a solution to the problem of the list is a political problem and solved politically and his return will probably be at the next meeting of the Council of Ministers which will be announced for that."

And whether the return of al-Mutlaq, a part of the reform paper for the National Alliance said Hasnawi said, "perhaps because of this paper as well as strategy and develop solutions to all problems of the Iraqi state after 2003."

Observers believe that al-Maliki is trying to win over some of the parties in the Iraqi List, after the escalation of disputes with the Kurdistan region on governance and powers.

The strained relationship between Baghdad and Arbil, the end of March last, and tension increased after the government's decision not to hand over the territory Tareq al-Hashemi required to judicial authorities and is currently in Turkey and to stop oil exports in protest at the non-payment of dues Baghdad to foreign companies.
