A remarkable and expressive coincidence seemed to coincide yesterday with the centenary of the explosion of the earthquake in the port of Beirut with the beginning of the French presidential envoy, adviser to President Emmanuel Macron for North Africa and the Middle East, Patrick Durrell, his mission in Beirut, boosting once again the momentum of your country’s initiative to regain power and political forces from the worst practices. The policy that hinders the formation of a government to rescue Lebanon from the collapses and even the disasters that apply to it. Since the paradoxes of this synchronization, although probably absent from most of the officials and politicians who were included in the meetings of the French envoy on the first day of his visit to Lebanon, the crisis scenario increased amid a growing failure to overcome the complexities the formation of the new government and a chilling escalation in the repercussions of the waiting period required by an active and effective government. It runs around the clock without stopping, so how can an interim government put an end to the heavy legacy of Lebanon’s worst crises? Therefore, it seemed natural that some of the forces supporting the real and non-verbal “maneuver” of the French initiative on the task of the French presidential envoy Dorrell in Beirut, as a last serious opportunity to achieve a political and diplomatic breakthrough in the Government impasse, Lebanon became a situation of dire need, not only because of the dangers of its growing and competitive crises, but also in light of the mysterious challenges that lie ahead in the region, especially in the next two months that separate the end of the term of the president of the United States, Donald Trump.

However, the immediate result of the first round of meetings held by the French envoy did not appear, encouraging at least so far to hope for rapid progress to prevent the country from sliding into new repercussions of blockade or artificial interruption for various reasons. President Michel Aoun’s emphasis vis-à-vis Dorrell on the need for what he described as a broad national consultation for the formation of the government to align with the French initiative document was an encouraging indication of the required response to the new French movement, to waiting for the data to dispel or prove these doubts in the next few hours. And he understood from the data available on the meetings of the French envoy that he seemed focused primarily on informing everyone he knew and with whom he would meet, including heads, officials and heads of parliamentary blocs who participated in the Pine Palace meeting with President Macron. on his visit to Beirut, the French president’s insistence that his initiative remains the only valid role. What is on the table is saving Lebanon. Otherwise, the repercussions and the cost will be far worse than what is happening with wasting time uselessly without being able to overcome the complications of politicians to form a reform-oriented government that attracts international support for Lebanon. This position appeared as a clear warning of the consequences of continuing to ignore the factor of the passage of time without any change in political practices in line with the seriousness of the dramatic conditions experienced by the Lebanese. He stated that Durrell had deliberately warned at all meetings about the dangers of the delay in the formation of the new government, highlighting the need for it to conform to the criteria of the French initiative in terms of being specialists and non-partisan, as long as it counts. with an umbrella of broad internal consensus. It was also reported that Dorrell, through his emphasis on adhering to the French initiative and the absence of an alternative plan, implicitly conveyed a clear message from Paris that either abandon commitments to the initiative or create continuing obstacles in the way of its implementation. It will open the door to serious repercussions in the end. That is why France strives to urge the parties to hurry the government, because it will be the key to international support for Lebanon, which Paris seeks to gather through the International Support Conference later this month. However, it became clear that the link between holding this conference and the formation of the government before the scheduled date means that not forming a government could push France to postpone it. According to presidential reference sources, Dorrell highlighted the rapid formation of the government to initiate reforms that allow Lebanon to enter through the doors of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the International Support Group. Refusing to talk about the French sanctions on Lebanon, he asked the Lebanese to seek quick solutions to their internal problems by forming a government that, if it is not born before the end of the year, “then you are going to damage Lebanon without borders, and you will not witness no conference to help you. “
The tour of the French delegate, accompanied by the French ambassador, Anne Gryou, included on its first day yesterday President Aoun, the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri, the President of the Progressive Socialist Party Walid Jumblatt and the head of the “Loyalty to the Resistance” bloc, Muhammad Raad, which will be completed today with meetings of other bloc heads. At the Pine Palace meeting. According to the information, Dorrell emphasized Baabda in expediting the formation of an important, efficient and acceptable government to carry out the required reforms, recalling that the fulfillment of the international community of its obligations with Lebanon is linked to the achievement of reforms.
