The beginning of the French search for a solution to “financing”

The government file continues to cast a shadow over the domestic scene, with the internal-regional and international crossings reaching a highly sensitive scenario, and in light of the confrontation led by Washington and its weapons against the axis of resistance. At one point, the factors began to suggest that the situation will not go well, which indicates a phase of strong tension, especially since internal communications in the last two days were almost non-existent, with two news that so far have not been achieved. achieve no default.

The first is internal, and is continuously linked between Baabda and Haret Hreik, which resulted in a meeting between the head of the “Al-Wafa for the Resistance” bloc, deputy Muhammad Raad, and the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, at the request of the latter. Aoun feels the weight of pressure on the country and the danger for the French initiative, which he considers the last chance to rescue. Thus, Hizbullah’s pulse was resumed vis-à-vis the Finance Ministry and, as “Al-Akhbar” learned, Aoun offered to be part of the president’s side, while Raad renewed the party’s position that ” joining the Ministry of Finance is an irreversible decision and there is no need for anyone to review us. “
As for the second development, it is external, linked to France’s contacts with Washington, since Paris proposed to freeze sanctions at this stage and help form the government, along with information about the arrival of a French envoy to the country. However, French efforts have failed, according to sources, and the evidence is Aoun’s intervention to change corners with the party, and Prime Minister Saad Hariri and the club of former prime ministers and their adherence to his post, while that Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Adeeb awaits “instruction.” Consequently, the country entered a state of stagnation, waiting for a new French intervention, while there is information that speaks of two points of view in France, one of which considers that Paris cannot interfere in the details of the training because that will stifle him and he will fail in his initiative and that the Lebanese should dissolve the training contract between them, as you can see. The other is that the Elysee should intervene to save the initiative. And it seems that this point of view prevails over the others, as the information says that “the French have begun to look for a way out of the knot of the Ministry of Finance, and there is a suggestion that the Elysee submit Shiite names to the ministry and consult with the Shiite duo about it. “

Although informed sources point out that Aoun has been demanding from the beginning of the Ministry of Finance, it seems clear that there is an organized campaign focused on the fact that the only node in front of the government is that the two hold on to this bag, taking into account that the demands and conditions are many. However, putting “finance” at the forefront does the rest. The demands are so far marginal. Although the financial complex ends, the formation of the government will face difficult events that require a miracle for the issuance of the decrees of its birth, among which it stands out that the withdrawal of the two from the Ministry of Finance means, for Hariri and the club of the former prime minister, a victory that will allow them to adhere more to his demands. Thus, another battle will open with the President of the Republic and the Free Patriotic Movement. In the team assessment on March 8, what the duo are doing today is being on the front line of defense in battle and facing Hariri today as an implementation tool, for the demand of the United States and Saudi Arabia, and fight half the battle that Aoun will face later. While “Al-Akhbar” learned that Aoun will issue a statement in the next two days, and he will not sit still and watch for the stalemate.
The government did not live up to the crisis, except for the entry of Patriarch Bechara Boutros al-Rahi, attacking an entire community. After weeks of dominating the battle of “neutrality”, the sponsor wants to establish itself as a key player on the executive team of the external project agenda. Al-Rahi wondered: “In what capacity does a sect demand a certain ministry as its own? And the formation of the government is suspended until it achieves its objectives and thereby causes political paralysis.” He went to the president-designate and asked him to “abide by the constitution and proceed to form a government. There is no need to submit to conditions, delay or apologize. ” He said: “We are not ready to discuss modifying the system before all components enter the confines of legitimacy and abandon their own projects.” The pastor’s words called for a violent response from the Mufti Jaafari, Sheikh Ahmed Qablan, who emphasized that “the government does not belong to one person and the country is not the monopoly of anyone. Sectarianism, in which you still insist.

He said: “As long as the actions are of the sect, we will judge between you and us the principle of reciprocity, and we will not accept the abolition of a sect with its mother and father, with an American stick and a French carrot.” . Our choice is not to surrender, even if the world is in our place. “While the Shiite Islamic Supreme Council denounced” what a great religious authority issued against the Shiite Islamic community, and because the speech descended to a sectarian incitement that arouses conflicts, distorts the facts and defames a sect that contributed its best youth and energy in the battle for the liberation of the homeland. “The council was surprised that” no voices were issued condemning the violation of the Charter on the day that The Petra government was formed, in which the Shiite community did not participate, which has always called for the implementation of the Taif Agreement. But if we want to apply rotation in the ministries, then the rotation will be in the first category jobs. he regretted that “a corrupt political class that arose from it and that is committed to crushing the resistance and prolonging the war is imposing its conditions. We consider this category responsible for the economic collapse that the country has reached. It tries once more to impose its conditions on the formation of the government.
