Acting Prime Minister Hassan Diab appeared on television saying that what happened in Beirut was “the crime of the time, and this catastrophic explosion is one of the largest in history. It is a disaster for Lebanon, Beirut and all Lebanese. ” As a result of a form of rampant corruption, the worst is the corruption of the pupils in the minds, because it leads to an explosion of permanent corruption. That is why corruption must be fought, and there is no doubt that the pain is deep and great for this calamity.
Diab highlighted in his television interview that “the revolution started from the movement of young men and women. Because I was close to them because I had been teaching young people in college for years, and I appreciated the difficulties of young men and women who accumulate for decades, and their right to express their opinions and wishes. ” Most of the movements in the street exist since October 17, 2019 and they were not born with the era of my government, and I hope that the future of Beirut is bright, and that Beirut always remains a beacon, and will rise again as did it before.
In response to a question about the government’s responsibility for the port explosion, Diab stated that “it is not possible to put a seven-year date in the last seven days, and I was going to visit the port. But in two hours I received three pieces of information I asked to complete the file and gather accurate information. ” I sent the file to the relevant ministries for information. But the question is why did such a quantity of amine nitrate enter the port of Beirut? And why is it allowed? ”. He explained that after the explosion, “Judge Ghassan Awaidat spoke to me and asked if I had any objections to meeting with the judicial investigator, Fadi Sawan. Then the latter visited me and gave me all the information he had at the time.”
Regarding the Judiciary, Diab explained that “the Judicial Power is like any institution, reviewing itself. He is more aware of that. I am convinced that the Judicial Power is independent from the Executive Power. I have not followed any political method in the judicial appointments and training, because I believe that the Judiciary knows better. ” “By reviewing itself, the judiciary will know whether or not the port explosion was an act of terrorism, or whether or not the Israelis are involved.”
He remarked that after the port explosion, “we formed a committee of ministers, and it was confirmed that the file would be sent from the Military Court to the Judicial Council, because the latter’s decision was firm, and those affected by the explosion could present lawsuits to get their rights. And there were 100 billion lire scattered everywhere. ” Most of the files are under investigation and we are awaiting the results of the investigations. He added: “We are living in very difficult circumstances. Unfortunately, this government has been subjected to misfortunes. It has requested satellite images from outside countries, and we have not yet received from the authorities any images that we have requested.” The investigations are like any Lebanese. “
Regarding that some describe his government as belonging to Hezbollah, Diab stressed that he is “independent” and “my government is not the government of Hezbollah. In this circumstance, a government of technocrats, non-partisan ministers, non-politicians, specialists is required. and experts “.
Asked what a bridge to cross, Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri replied: “It was not a bridge for anyone, I came with a patriotic mission with a vision and a plan. The mechanism for forming a technocratic government is different from before Taif. Today we are in conditions. And there must be a technocratic government to find a solution to the collapses that afflicted the economy and the state. The corrupt system is rooted in the country and disrupts any reform project. Corruption is not a person but a system … it is a culture. We need to destroy it to establish the culture of the state and the citizen. It is not the culture of corruption, which has taken root in all the articulations of the state. The first task of the government was to fight corruption. Most of the government’s job is to prepare and establish a framework to combat corruption and dismantle the system. We request that the criminal investigation reach into financial crimes to reveal the names.
And he considered that “corruption governs the state, I fought for appointments out of competition. Perhaps competition and friendship come together, and that is no problem. There is no criterion but competition. My previous promises were not a show, because the ministerial declaration based on to which my government took confidence, included Three goals, one hundred days, more than a year and goals of three years In 100 days we have achieved 32 of 33 goals, and you can return to the ministerial declaration for whoever you want.
He emphasized that he had only met with the President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, before his appointment, when he was Minister of Education and Higher Education, and explained that “our relationship is very good and is governed by the constitution. It is a relationship of friendship. There is a relationship, warmth and respect, and not yet. ” I turned myself in to the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, who was the benchmark for the constitution, and I got in touch with him and with the heads of other blocs.
Our goal was a rescheduling, not a sovereign debt restructuring. My wish for the banking sector was that they not sell Eurobonds. The rescheduling would take one year, two years, and three years. The goal is to add the years ”, insisted Diab. The three heads of state, and we kick them out for later dates, until the Lebanese economy is brought back to life, but much of the bonds were sold abroad. The decision was agreed between the three presidents. If we had paid $ 5 billion, today we would be without support. We would have reached a more catastrophic situation than the current one. “.
In the dossier of the governor of the Banque du Liban, Riad Salameh, Diab considered: “There is no doubt that he has the support of the political and financial class. There is no doubt that there is great support for Salameh.” government”.
Diab expressed his support for “an electoral law based on Lebanon, a unique electoral district outside the sectarian restriction”, saying: “I am not alone and I consider myself strong because I speak the truth. I am proud of all the ministers and ministers. I think my government distinguished itself. That’s why I called it the “first government.” Once, “the government will face challenges.”
