Beirut – Omar Habanjar and Daoud Rammal
Prime Minister Saad Hariri de Baabda renewed his adherence to the French initiative and his effort to float it, as it is the last chance for Lebanon before the collapse, and President Michel Aoun met with him to emphasize the need to form a new government as soon as possible because the situation can no longer tolerate further deterioration, in turn reaffirming the French initiative.
In a written statement that Hariri read to the media after the meeting, without questions or answers, he said: “I have said that my goal is to float the initiative of President Emmanuel Macron, because it is the only and last opportunity to stop the collapse and rebuild what was destroyed by the Beirut port explosion. Unfortunately, what we saw in the media of Speech, leaks and positions, had nothing to do with this initiative and its reform and economic provisions, and it was about government fees and party conditions, that is, off topic.
He said: “I had the honor to meet with the President of the Republic, and I informed him that I will send a delegation to communicate with all the main political blocs to ensure that they are still fully committed to the terms of the document that I previously agreed to at the beginning of last month. at the Pine Palace in the presence of President Emmanuel Macron “. The point of the question is that I am convinced that President Macron’s initiative is the only and last chance our country has left to stop the collapse. All political forces and all Lebanese know it, and they know that we no longer have time to waste in political controversies, and that the great collapse threatens our country with more tragedies and threatens the state with total disappearance.
And he added: “This is the last chance. This French initiative is based on forming a government of specialists who do not belong to the parties, which will undertake specific reforms with a specific schedule, which does not exceed a few months.” Here it is important to reiterate that the absence of parties in government is only for a few months, which means that we as parties will not die, and only to implement economic, financial and administrative reforms. Everyone knows the reason, and it is that all governments formed on the traditional basis of party representation have failed with the reforms. The reforms and their timeline are specified and detailed in the Pine Palace document, which is like a ministerial declaration for the new government.
He continued: “Forming such a government and carrying out these reforms allows President Macron, as he promised to all of us, to mobilize the international community to invest in Lebanon and provide external financing for Lebanon, which is the only way to stop the terrible collapse. that we all suffer, as a country, as a state and as citizens. Here I hear a lot about countries that agree and others that do not, President Macron has committed, do you understand what that means? What it means is that the conference will take place and Lebanon will come out of the collapse, according to what you told us at the Pine Palace and what you told the Lebanese in your press conference.
He explained that he told the President of the Republic: “If it is clear to me with the results of the contacts, that the conviction of the main political blocs remains in force to give confidence to such a government and vote its reforms in Parliament, as they committed to President Macron, then this is the government that carries out reforms. But if the result of the contacts is that there is someone who changed his mind, or changed his previous statement that he is with the French initiative, or now wants to change the concept of this initiative, especially the economic part in it and the part of the specialists, knowing in advance that this is failing you, then please take your responsibility to the Lebanese and inform them. About this “.
“The latter was clear when accepting the reform provisions of the French initiative, and this is reassuring,” Hariri said after his meeting with the Speaker of Parliament, Nabih Berri, in Ein al-Tina.
He pointed out that a delegation before him will visit a consultation tour today to see the positions of the blocks, especially those that were at the Pine Palace meeting, and consequently, it will build on the thing. The delegation is made up of MP Bahia Hariri, Samir Al-Jisr and Hadi Hobeish.
Ayn al-Tineh said that Berri “was very positive in the level of approval of reforms in the economic document, and it is not necessary to visit the representative delegation of the Development and Liberation Bloc.”
President Berri’s sources quoted him as telling Hariri his positive stance on the French initiative, saying: “As we are still.”
Certainly, the meeting between Presidents Aoun and Hariri was flexible and characterized by consensus on most of the pending issues. However, talking about the possibility of postponing the binding parliamentary consultations until tomorrow Thursday carries premeditated intentions and various economic risks. Since Hariri can still complete his preliminary inquiries today and tomorrow, to complete the picture on Thursday.
However, it seems that this node is on its way to be resolved by sending Hariri who represents it to follow his rounds of blocks and actors.
It seems to the follow-up sources that Hariri, who met the Future bloc, is that President Nabih Berri, after meeting with Aoun, is obliged to meet with Gebran Bassil, as head of the deputies bloc of the Free Patriotic Movement (Strong Lebanon ), and he has to negotiate with the revolutionary movement that forced him to resign, to avoid a repeat of the scene.
There are two internal conditions that stand in the way of Hariri’s return to the Great Serail, his acceptance of the appointment of ministers by the blocs, his withdrawal from the government of independent technocrats, and thus his acceptance of an independent government. , which means that the parliamentary blocs nominate them even from under the table.
