The head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Deputy Gebran Bassil, called for a national dialogue that culminates in a common Lebanese vision of a new political system that guarantees stability in the country, rejecting Hezbollah’s accusation that it was the sole reason for the fall of the state, although it emphasized its refusal to be a “resistant weapon” to serve. Any project other than protecting Lebanon, in the face of a crisis that is overwhelming the government’s formation record, in which Bassil reiterated that he does not want to participate in it, and said: “We do not trust” the designated prime minister, Saad Hariri, “only in the reform”.
Bassil opens a new debate on the development of the Lebanese political system, given the refusal of many political forces to advance in this direction, since the “Future Movement” reiterates its adherence to the “Taif Agreement” that the Lebanese reached in 1989, while that the “Progressive Socialist Party” insists The Taif Agreement will be fully implemented first, and then any developments will be discussed if necessary. As for Hezbollah, it is believed that the development of the system should take place with a full Lebanese agreement to discuss it.
Bassil announced this step, yesterday, during a press conference held on the occasion of the event on the Lebanese internal archives, including the anti-corruption archive and the accusations against it, and the most prominent obstacles that stand in the way of training of government. After directing veiled criticisms of the political parties accusing them of confronting the reform steps that his movement advanced, and the obstacles placed in front of the investigation of the Beirut attack, and frustrating the anti-corruption steps, he said: “If neither the government, the parliament neither the judiciary can carry out the reform, so this means that our system has failed and needs reform. We must have the courage to approach this problem coldly, and we must not wait for things to heat up and problems arise and the solution is on the hot topic. “He added:” We request and initiate a request for national dialogue that results in a Lebanese vision. common of a new political system that guarantees stability in the country, “noting that” skipping the structural problems of the system and arguing that (Hezbollah) is the only reason for the fall of the State, which means that there is someone who does not want to solve the problem. “Its depth.” He noted that “of course, the issue of weapons, defense strategy, Lebanon’s position and its relations with states, and the issue of its neutrality or neutrality, are fundamental and fundamental issues. in the center of the required dialogue “.
And he criticized his allies, Hezbollah, saying: “We do not accept that our land is the scene of other people’s struggles, nor will the weapons of resistance serve any illegal project to protect Lebanon.” He noted: “We agreed with (Hezbollah) to launch a bilateral dialogue to review our relationship and review the understanding document on basic axes, including the external axis and the axis of state construction, because (this is not the case).”
Bassil reiterated: “We need a new contract between the Lebanese, which we make with our free choice and in our own time.” He also said: “We have become the need for a new economic and financial system, which is not based on income, speculation and excessive consumption, and which does not depend on religion, mortgaging the property of the Lebanese, selling it, wasting your money and stealing it with options. ” And bets and engineering made by financial officials.
The debate on the development of the system is one of the Lebanese controversies, and the debate appears in conjunctures, especially in the constitutional debates related to the powers of ministers and presidents that are occupied by representative figures of the Lebanese sects. Yesterday, Bassil brought one of the differences with Hariri to the powers of the presidency, asking: “Did the constitution make the president of the republic (Bash Kateb) only issue the decree and not approve it?” He stressed that the President of the Republic, according to the text of the Taif Agreement, “issues the government decree in agreement with the Prime Minister.”
Attack on Hariri
Bassil dedicated part of his press conference to criticize the conditions set by Hariri to form a government, the most prominent of which is the formation of a government of specialists, asking: “What is the competence of the designated president?” He also asked about the competition to collect two portfolios like “Foreign Relations” and “Tourism”, for example, with the custody of a minister. He considered that the insistence on a government of 18 ministers aims to isolate components, such as the “Democratic Party” led by deputy Talal Arslan. Bassil noted that “in the exchanges they spoke of rotation, so the Shiites unfairly seized the money, so he stood up and applied the rotation to all exchanges except money, which means that it turned out to be the financial one for the Shiites.
The Free Patriotic Movement accuses Hariri of having consulted with Lebanese parties on the formation of the government, excluding the movement, and having complied with the demands of some parties such as the Shiites and others, while refusing to comply with Aoun’s demands, especially to expand the number of government ministers. Bassil repeated yesterday: “We neither want nor do we want to participate in the government,” while some political forces accuse him of imposing their conditions through President Aoun, who is a constitutional partner of the president in charge of forming the government. Bassil concluded: “We do not trust only Saad Hariri for reform. We make their political approach responsible for economic and financial policy ”.
‘Future’ answer
The attack on Hariri provoked a response from the “Future Movement”, who emphasized in a statement that “the movement lets the Lebanese people believe Minister Basil or not. We, as a movement, will not enter into political disputes that do not bring the country a vaccine against (Corona), neither put the economic wheel in motion. Right, nor for the reconstruction of Beirut and compensation for those affected by the port explosion. “” The Future Movement “said,” The government is ready and hoping that the president of the republic will be an important government that is in charge of the reforms required according to the French initiative and not according to the basilian sectarian, sectarian and racist standards. “He concluded:” This is what worries us and nothing else, for excellent Let them be in creating obstacles and producing controversial issues. “
