Baghdad / NINA / Representative Alia Nassif called on the government to protect citizens from the negative effects of raising the price of the dollar, stating: "The increase in its price caused a significant increase in the prices of foodstuffs and basic commodities in the market in conjunction with the approaching month of Ramadan."

She said in a statement today: "All foodstuffs have doubled their prices, from oil to tomato paste, due to the rise in the price of the dollar and also the approaching month of Ramadan, which witnesses a great turnout of people to buy foodstuffs."

Nassif asked: "Where are the rights of the Iraqi citizen on his country that lowered the price of the dinar? Is it not its duty to mitigate the negative effects resulting from this measure instead of leaving the people in the wind? How will families with limited income face this outrageous price that will take us back to the time of the economic blockade?" .

Nassif warned that "if the government disavows its responsibilities, its effects will be dire in the coming days," saying: "Beware of the anger of the people that you left between the hammer of the dollar and the anvil of high prices."
