Abstract

ABSTRACT

 

Dawn of March 19, 2003, the coalition forces ended the dictatorial regime that had lingered for more than 30 years, liberating Iraqis and help them make the shift to a democratic system. Nevertheless, religious groups and parties supported by neighboring countries managed to seize power in a very short period. They succeeded in manipulating the electoral system and deform the applied Saint – Lego system in a way that serves their political agenda.

Sin embargo, grupos y partidos religiosos apoyados por países vecinos lograron tomar el poder en un período muy corto.
