They stressed that “the French initiative, which was the only opportunity to try to stop the collapse of Lebanon, was based on the need to suspend everything related to traditional internal politics, and the issue of the competition of parties and blocs, for a few months , so that the main parliamentary blocs agree to a miniature rescue government of competent specialists that the parties do not name. ” “Implement a purely financial, monetary and administrative economic reform program, detailed in its steps for the first three months, to open the way for the beginning of the restoration of confidence and the return of external financing to the country.”
They added: “What Sayyid Nasrallah called the ‘Club of the Four Heads of Government’ did not form the government on behalf of President Adeeb, and he did not impose a name or portfolio on it. Rather, their role was limited to providing coverage in a transparent and clear manner to implement what was agreed by the parliamentary blocs in the Senoub Palace, after they meet in a common word on the nomination of the designated president.
They pointed out that “this role did not originate for a moment from imposing guardianship on the prime minister, but from appeals made by the majority of Lebanese, who unanimously agreed that the mechanisms that were adopted to form the resigned government and that were a wide popular opposition crossed with the French initiative and the need to establish a government should not be repeated “. Independents away from quotas, party and political loyalty ”.
They emphasized that “the designated president could not consult with His Excellency the President of the Republic, nor with any of the political blocs regarding names and portfolios, in light of the knot that Amal and Hezbollah raised in his face, just their efforts they reached their final stage on the eve of the sanctions announced against the two former ministers. ” From which complications and difficulties arose and what became of Prime Minister Hariri in the aftermath, and in view of the danger that threatened the opportunity to stop the collapse that is available, but resorted to taking a unique initiative that, if adopted, would allow the preservation of Shiite representation in the Ministry of Finance for once, with emphasis on the principle of portfolio rotation. Ministerial “.
And they considered that “it is regrettable that instead of taking the initiative of Prime Minister Hariri, whom France praised, the president-designate was bypassed and put more conditions on and adhered to the appointment of ministers in the remaining portfolios, in an open attack on the rules from which the French initiative and the constitution were launched, which states that no portfolio is exclusive. ” Ministerial representatives of any particular sect. “
They pointed out that “what is remarkable in the Hezbollah Secretary General’s narration is that he deliberately provoked a sectarian confrontation between the President of the Republic and the designated Prime Minister, alleging a violation of the constitutional powers of the President of the Republic in the interests of the Presidency of the Republic. Government and represented, which is unfounded. The designated president is the same as the presidency of the republic and most of the political and parliamentary blocs and personalities that participated in the presidential palace consultations demanded accreditation for the rotation of portfolios with the exception of representatives of the bilateral Amal and Hezbollah.
They noted that “reading Hezbollah’s secretary general undermines the French initiative, with its economic and financial content, through the proposals of the International Monetary Fund and economic and financial reforms.”
And they continued: “Sayyed Nasrallah failed to return to the events of May 2008 to remind the Lebanese people of the attack on Beirut, which was interpreted by the Lebanese as an unacceptable threat and threatening to use chaos, violence and the chaos of security, which excludes no one from its dangers. “
They saw that “Sayyid Nasrallah, in most of his speech yesterday, was reviewing the conditions he set for the formation of the future government. Ultimately, the Hezbollah secretary general wants a government in which his party is represented, and in which the parties nominate their representatives in the various ministries. This recipe is fully applicable to what happened when the government was formed. The resigned, which led to the clear and evident results, which the Lebanese saw and see every day with their own eyes, and which essentially required the kind initiative of President Macron in a final attempt to stop the collapse.
In conclusion, the former heads of government affirmed their enthusiasm for national unity among the Lebanese and their adherence to the grateful French initiative and the great role of President Macron in insisting on following it to help save Lebanon.
