Simplified messages … Has Aoun turned against “Hezbollah”?

Hayam Al-Qasifi wrote in the Al-Akhbar newspaper under the headline “No Aoun’s coup against Hezbollah”: “The first impression of the statement by the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, appeared to be a coup against his ally. , Hezbollah, and that by putting the dots on the government formation letters, he sends a message to the party to leave The Shiite duo clung to the Ministry of Finance, and that the threat of US sanctions did what he did , just when the French hinted at the need to respect Lebanese promises. This is a preliminary impression. But a calm political reading gives Aoun’s words other dimensions. So the President of the Republic needed this look to announce that he refused. to assign a sect to a ministry. After last week, there were many mixed messages about his intention to sign whatever lineup President-designate Mustafa Adib brings to him and the nce the ball was on the Parliament court, or was Aoun’s message more for an outside goal than an inside one?

It is true that the president of the republic formally equated in criticizing the performance of representatives of the Sunni and Shiite sects in the composition process, which was considered to be sending a clear message for the first time to his ally, but in reality it is not it deviated a lot from the party in the general form of the composition process, away from the resentment that grows in the rules. His nationalist bias towards Hezbollah for reasons not exclusively related to the government. However, popular discontent is a matter that differs from domestic and foreign political goals, and current observations on the party’s management of the authorship battle or demand for expanded decentralization have nothing to do with the larger headline. which relates to the next phase. Aoun’s first and last objective is related to strategy, and in this sense he does not depart from his ally, nor can he separate himself from him to chart the future path of his successor, the head of the Free Patriotic Movement and his permanent candidate. to the presidency, so it is not possible to bet on his coup against his ally on the eve of the end of two-thirds of his presidential term. . This is the point, because Aoun and MP Gebran Bassil distinguished themselves from President Nabih Berri and his opposition to him, and the party of mutual responses does not at all mean leaving the party at this sensitive stage, which they use to send public warning signals .
It was natural that Hezbollah did not respond to the president of the republic, who left separate voices attacking all critics of the duo’s accession to the Ministry of Finance, headed by the Maronite Patriarchate, because Hezbollah actually still needs this Christian and presidential coverage that their ally has assured him for the past few years. Especially after Bkerke broke up with the party. At the same time, it needs the President of the Republic to float in the grassroots, and the movement is one of them. Just as the decline in the popularity of the national movement in the Christian street is a fact and not an interpretation, the current needs a new push of impudence to re-inflate its internal bases. And fighting the Lebanese Forces is not enough on its own and does not pay off overall. Rather, a speech under a loose constitutional title that rejects the uniqueness of any party in a ministry does not harm the party as long as the key to the composition is still in its pocket, while the Aouni are gathered under the mantle of Aoun and the chief. of the National Movement. How is the case and the objective, a ministry that has joined the Amal Movement, which the Aounists accuse of being “the tip of the iceberg of corruption”.
Hizbullah does not hurt the words of the Aoun and Bassil movement, and they meet to neutralize the party in terms of sending the harshest message to President Nabih Berri, and thus the two parties will regain their popularity, which they need after months of inevitable withdrawal under the weight of the demonstrations and then the explosion of the port and the stumble of the government. The party knows perfectly well that Aoun has to face any external pressure, and generally chooses to back down from such pressures. Bassil’s position on the American threat to impose sanctions on him makes it increasingly necessary for him to turn around corners, giving “mixed” messages in many directions, to assure Americans that he is not giving the party what he is. it wants and that it respects the Constitution (which it recently violated when making inquiries related to the formation of the government), And it sends a message to France that it joins Hezbollah with its initiative, unlike other forces that hinder authorship “.
