A “secret” operating room for Bassil … and Berri are on the prowl



[ad_1]

The Arab Post website published an article with the title: “The judicial war is burning in Lebanon … A secret operations room for Bassil targeting political rivals” in which he said that “Despite the difficult economic reality hitting Lebanon hard these days, the political forces there continue to wage their fateful wars, amid multiple collapses in the economy and politics, the latest of which is the “Judicial War.”

As these forces use the judiciary to settle political scores, and perhaps the biggest event that hit the country was the convocation of the Lebanese judiciary, through Judge Fadi Sawan, the judicial investigator who rotates in the orbit of the Free Patriotic Movement, to the interim prime minister, Hassan Diab, and the two former ministers, Ali Hassan Khalil, who holds the post. Political advisor to the President of Parliament Nabih Berri, and Yusef Vinyanus, leader of the Marada Movement led by Suleiman Franjieh, who competes with Gebran Bassil in the battle for the presidency, in the record of the Beirut port attack.

Although the judicial summons was not directed at officials and ministers associated with the Free Patriotic Movement, which was considered, far from its illegality, an effort to settle accounts between President Michel and his son-in-law Basil, on the one hand, and the president appointed Saad Hariri and the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri and the Chairman of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, on the other hand. .

Legal circles believe that the convening of the head of government to the judiciary violates the constitution, as the trial of heads of government is carried out through a special court formed exclusively by Parliament.

A few days ago, the President of the Republic told a group of judges he received at the Republican Palace in Baabda that he wanted to see the Speaker of Parliament, Nabih Berri, and the President of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, in prison before they ends his term, on charges of corruption.

Some of the participants were quick to report what literally happened to Berri and Jumblatt, increasing belief among these parties of Aoun’s deliberate intention to wage war against his opponents.

Sources close to the Amal Movement led by the President of Parliament, Nabih Berri, told the Arabi Post that the latter had received information that President Michel Aoun and his son-in-law Gebran Bassil intend to attack him, President Saad Hariri and former MP Walid Jumblatt.

This targeting occurs through direct targeting of people close to them accused of corruption.

He thanked the source that the information received by Berri was related to the existence of a cell or “black room” that distributes roles and schedules the movement of files, according to a strict political plan directly supervised by Gebran Bassil, advisor to the President of the Republic and former Minister of Justice Salim Jreissati.

What strengthened this impression among the trio Berri, Jumblatt and Hariri is that the subpoena and ongoing trials exclusively included parties in conflict with the presidency and the Free Patriotic Movement, such as a group of former officers, including former army chief Jean Kahwaji. , and some employees of the Ministry of the Displaced who had been held for a long time by the Progressive Socialist Party. And the governor of the Banque du Liban, Riad Salameh, who has direct coverage of Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri.

According to the source, earlier attempts were made to persecute close collaborators of the leader of the Marada Movement, Suleiman Franjieh, on the issue of adulterated oil and fuel, which led Franjieh to raise his voice and directly commit to protect them and not hand them over to the judiciary. .

On the other hand, private political sources told “Arab Post” that Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri has realized that Aoun and Bassil are pressuring him to apologize for forming the government by making rules that violate the constitution and return to the country to the stage of the civil war.

The sources added that the head of the Future Movement received confirmed information that Aoun and Bassil plan to target sites in the country that are affiliated with the Future Movement and the Sunni community, specifically Middle East Airlines, which Bassil frequently attempts to steal, and name a Christian figure associated with him on the site.

This is in addition to preparations to summon the head of the Hariri-affiliated Council for Development and Reconstruction, personally on charges of waste and corruption, in addition to specific targets targeting future-oriented security sites and Sunnis, with files being released. They are working in the Bassi room.

Therefore, according to the source, Hariri is working on the formation of a counter-chamber, which includes judges, lawyers, media professionals and activists, in preparation for his battle, which will be open, and is coordinating with Berri and Jumblatt.

Likewise, the President of Parliament Nabih Berri, who supervises a work team to prepare what is necessary to dismiss the charges against him and correct the issues against the President of the Republic, his son-in-law and his advisers, with numerous corruption files, among which the Ministry of Energy stands out.

Meanwhile, the bloc of the Progressive Socialist Party, headed by Walid Jumblatt, is preparing to present a set of files to be delivered to the Judiciary, and to form parliamentary investigative committees to investigate and oversee the ministries and institutions controlled by the Patriotic Movement Free.

Before the court investigator’s decision to summon the resigned Prime Minister Hassan Diab to investigate the Beirut port bombing, Hariri was clearly informing his visitors that he wanted a Sunni reconciliation with the main parties.

But the highlight on that day was his breaking of the ice with President Diab, making contact with him, and then visiting him after Friday prayers and solidarity with him, and considering that what happened with him was the attack on the site that It represents, that is, the site of the “Third Sunni Presidency”.

Likewise, positions in solidarity with Diab were issued by the former heads of government, Tammam Salam, Fouad Siniora and Najib Mikati, and a high-ceiling position was issued by the Mufti of the Republic, Abd al-Latif Derian, which reinforces the coverage, becoming a political-religious coverage, which will include statements by other Sunni forces such as the Association of Muslim Scholars and the Islamic Group of Scholars. And independent Sunni representatives.

According to sources close to the Movement of the Future, Hariri decided to give Diab a Sunni cover because he currently does not have the support of either party, and that he is being harassed, and that this harassment means opening the way for the continued persecution of the site in other times.

According to the source, Hariri and the former heads of government reached a basic conclusion that the presidential mandate of Michel Aoun and Gebran Bassil wanted, after the sanctions and the failure of the political action of the Free Patriotic Movement, to take “suicidal” steps, which they undermine the rest of the components as a process of revenge from all, and who wants to exhaust everyone and use them in their battles.

In the midst of this, the source confirms that Hariri has become convinced that the attempts to form a government have now stopped, until Joe Biden assumed the presidency of the United States, and that the practices of the President of the Republic and the President of the Movement Free Patriotic, Gebran Bassil, are establishing a major battle with the political and spiritual components of the country.
