Imad Marmel wrote in the newspaper “Al-Gomhoria”:
The Shiite duo in general, and President Nabih Berri in particular, did not expect Prime Minister Saad Hariri to respond to the positivity about him in a way that would suggest to Ain al-Tineh supporters that Hariri exchanged bird’s milk for the sting. of a hornet, based on Mustafa (Adib) before Abu Mustafa (Berri).
Berri feels that Hariri has let him down, in one of the most delicate political moments, since it was not acceptable that the head of the “Future” movement participated in the attempt to extract the financial portfolio of the Shiite community and impose on him the names of his ministers , as a result of the new US sanctions that targeted Berri at its core. By correcting his political aide, Minister Ali Hassan Khalil.
Berri expected another behavior from Hariri, considering the sensitivity of this stage that does not support any investment in sanctions or the French initiative to achieve internal gains, but what happened according to the impressions of those close to Ain al-Tineh is that Hariri seemed strengthened by the American stick and French pressure to remove Berri. His arm.
Proponents of Ain al-Tineh’s position point out that Berri acted in a completely different way when Hariri was going through difficult trials, “as he stood by his side and tried with all his energy to help him when he faced his famous crisis in Saudi Arabia. At the time, Berri was attending a conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, so he was quick to meet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, hoping he would use his relationships and influence to lift Hariri out of the bottleneck of his crisis. .
And they add: At the beginning of the uprising on October 17, the “duo”, in their vanguard, Berri, clung to Hariri and called him to stand firm and not resign, while some of his allies abandoned him and threw himself from the government compound . To the extent that he showed a willingness to bring him sparrow milk, while other of his supposed allies denied it before the rooster screamed for mandatory consultations at the Baabda Palace, leading Hariri to abstain from running, so the “duo” moved to demand the loan of a figure appointed by the head of the “future” to finish the work in The End of the loan of Hassan Diab.
The coexistence experience was not successful between Diab and Berri, who waited for the right opportunity to ensure Hariri’s return to the post of Prime Minister, based on their conviction that it is the best option to face the impasse facing the Lebanon. As soon as the Diab government fell, the “duo”, especially Berri, repeated their candidacy for Hariri. When he abstained again, the coalition of “Amal” and “Hezbollah” insisted on proposing alternative names, including Ambassador Mustafa Adib, and the Shiite alliance supported him. No preconditions.
From here, and after all these political “advances” granted to the Casa de Centro, Berri was disappointed in the way in which Hariri handled the composition phase, while he needed, in his opinion, to tip the balance to strengthen balancing the pact and avoiding sectarian congestion elsewhere.
Those who know the reasons for Berri’s position affirm that the story is not related to a ministerial portfolio of more or less, “and the one that had previously made concessions and facilities to form previous governments. Rather, the issue is related to protecting the Lebanese formula and stabilize sectarian balances at a very delicate time, especially after the US sanctions. ” .
Faced with seeking to change the rules of composition, there are among the hawks of March 8 who consider that the Shiite duo, despite its sophistication, has not improved the political management of the government file since President Hassan Diab was pushed to resign. , without the next turn being known and clear.
A leading figure noted on March 8 that “mismanagement is what led our team to an unenviable place,” and emphasized that renovating the settlement over tortuous terrain was not allowed.
This character wonders: How is it recognized that the club of former prime ministers is a mandatory way to appoint the designated president? And how is it correct to accept that Hariri is the sole representative of the Sunni community, contrary to the results of the parliamentary elections?
He adds: Diab has pushed us to quit for free, without having a prior approach to the next step. Consequently, we handed the initiative and the neck over to Hariri and the club of former prime ministers, while we could have controlled the timing of resignation and gotten a political price in return, instead of losing this role for free, and the irony is that the Shiite duo who were the most lenient towards Hariri are now paying the greatest cost.
The character points out that “the current dilemma is that they put us between two borders. Either we print and accept the de facto government without interfering in its formation so that the economy does not completely collapse, or we oppose this equation and they hold us responsible for the failure of the French initiative and the occurrence of a comprehensive collapse “.
In a related context, it was known that one of the symbols of March 8 told the President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, during the “attachment” of the consultations of the last two days, that “the youth are established in France and he wants to overthrow everyone, respecting the Taif constitution, which forces the president in charge to go through two lines before approving the formation of the government. They are the signature of the President of the Republic and the confidence of the Chamber of Deputies. Therefore, it is not a mailbox, Mr. President. “
Aoun’s visitor approached him and asked: Are you satisfied with what is happening? He replied: If I was satisfied, I would not have invited you to the Baabda Palace for consultations.
When Aoun asked his guest for his opinion on the session, he replied that he was in favor of the Taif Agreement, so Aoun drew his attention to the fact that this agreement does not limit any ministerial portfolio to a specific sect.
Here the visitor said: So what is the impediment, according to this principle, for finances to remain with the Shiites? Aoun replied: I prefer to rotate in ministerial portfolios … For 15 years he worked in politics in Lebanon, and not once did “finance” or “the interior” appear to us.
