“Loyalty to the Resistance” refuses to appoint government ministers to it
The efforts of the Lebanese government are developing in a vicious circle due to the refusal to participate in the Ministry of Finance, despite the positivity that the Shiite duo reflected after the contacts that took place. It seems that the French side is convinced that it is necessary to submit to this de facto situation, and give in to stay with the “Shiite duo”, if it wants the rescue initiative proposed by President Emmanuel Macron to survive.
A follow-up political source said yesterday that “the meeting that brought together the French ambassador, Bernard Foche, and the international relations official in Hezbollah, Ammar Al-Mousawi, on Wednesday night at the Pine Palace, ended with Paris declaring that it doesn’t care what the two of them want, from the point of view that it doesn’t interfere with the details of the authoring process. ” “He added that” the government fireball was thrown onto the other team’s court, that is, into the window of the president-designate, Mustafa Adeeb, and former heads of government. ”
He asked: “Will they agree to renounce the ceiling they established and affirm their refusal to dedicate portfolios to specific sects or parties, or will they adhere to the principle of integral rotation and the government of neutral specialists?”
And he considered that “the approval of the designated president to elect the Shiite duo as a finance figure will whet the appetite of other political forces that appointed Adeeb, to demand the same privilege, which is not to include him in the rotation and limit the selection of ministers. “.
Sources close to the prime minister-designate said: “The task assigned to me as a result of the understanding of the majority of the Lebanese political forces, is to form a government of non-political specialists, in a record period, and to begin implementing reforms immediately. On this basis, the goal was neither singularity of opinion nor singularity of opinion. ” Aiming at one of the Lebanese political components, but choosing a governmental formation of specialists. Any other proposal will later impose a different approach for the new government, and this does not correspond to the mission for which it was assigned ”.
The sources added, citing Adeeb: “Because I really want to keep the mission that I am fulfilling in line with the spirit of the basic understanding of a government of specialists, I asked President Michel Aoun to postpone the meeting between us until this afternoon ( yesterday), to make more contacts before determining the final position. ”
Adeeb met yesterday, the former Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil and the political assistant to the Secretary General of “Hezbollah”, Hussein Khalil, to discuss the final issue of the Finance Ministry. Furthermore, the parliamentary bloc of “loyalty to the resistance” (Hezbollah) categorically refused to appoint a minister to represent us in the government or to prohibit the component to which we belong to receive a ministerial portfolio, especially the Ministry of Finance.
The bloc said, after its meeting yesterday, that “attempts by some to intimidate abroad to form a fraudulent government are attempts aimed at emptying the French initiative.”
He surprised that “some of those who form the shadow government tend to confiscate the decision of the other components after preventing the designated president from consulting with the blocs and creating a new mechanism that prohibits the components from appointing their ministers and breaks the balance snatching the financial portfolio “.
