She added, "The Iraqis were, throughout the post-election period, as a victim to an unpredictable and intolerable situation, which turned into armed clashes, and we can only reiterate the importance of keeping any protest away from violence," noting that "all parties must act responsibly in times of heightened tension.
Plasschaert continued, "There are solutions, but only if there is a willingness to reach compromises," explaining that "in the end, it all comes down to the political will and all leaders must take responsibility."
"many Iraqis have lost confidence in the ability of the political class in Iraq to work for the benefit of the country and its people," noting that "the continued failure to address this loss of confidence will only exacerbate Iraq's problems, and rampant corruption is a root and main cause of dysfunction in Iraq."
