The political body of the Free Patriotic Movement held its periodic meeting electronically headed by the president of the movement, Gebran Bassil, and issued the following statement:
“The period specified by the Qasr al-Pine meeting ended two weeks ago and the expected government has not yet been formed.
The body politic affirms that the movement continues, with conviction, its facilitating and positive role for the birth of the mission government, but warns that any party understands this facilitation nonsense or thinks that it is a kind of weakness, since the movement contributes to the solution from its popular strength and parliamentary legitimacy. He is never willing to override himself politically, and he will not allow any attack on his affiliates or supporters or his headquarters, and will respond appropriately to each case.
The statement added: “The authority renews its adherence to the rapid establishment of a government that respects the unity of standards and is capable of producing and working effectively to achieve the required reform program.
He confirms that the movement provides advice and has not established conditions and has no demand, but refuses to consider any facilitation by him for the birth of the government as if it were the consecration of any custom that can bless any ministry for any sect or group, and rather proposes in this area an experiment in the division of ministries known as sovereignty over the smaller sects, namely the Druze, Alawites, Armenians and Christian minorities.
The commission considers that the most important criterion at this stage is not the sectarian and political affiliation of the minister, but rather his enjoyment of the morals, capacity and experience to fulfill the agreement.
He continued: “The political body refuses that any party impose its signature on the Lebanese outside of the constitution, norms and principles, or that any other party impose on the Lebanese the names of all government ministers as long as it does not have a representative majority or constitutive majority. The Free Patriotic Movement accepted any demand and facilitated government formation to preserve the financial and economic bailout opportunity available to Lebanon, but was not subject to any external pressure or threat of sanctions, but rather to the desire of the Lebanese to seize the opportunity to rescue and yet did not accept the power of one party over all Lebanese. No matter how strong it is or how much it is outside
Even if the movement renounces its role in the formation of the government, it will not renounce its role of representing who it represents, and it will not accept inequality among the Lebanese, nor will it agree to circumvent the association of the President of the Republic in the formation of the government, and he will not accept that it be imposed on him under the pretext of a pressing situation unless he is accepted under Security and political pressure. “
