Several visitors of the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, who had met in the last two days, had the indisputable impression that he was disappointed by the abandonment of the French initiative, which is the last chance for Lebanon to stop its financial and economic collapse, despite the fact that most of the main parties that French President Emmanuel Macron met with were adherents. The roadmap that he advanced to direct his initiative towards implementation, with the establishment of a government made up of specialists and independents.
The President of the Republic, who blames some political parties for the overthrow of the French initiative, according to his visitors, was extremely disturbed, which explains his decision to refrain from holding a new round of consultations until these parties start a review of its accounts, to avoid political, economic, financial and social disasters derived from Leaving the French initiative or hindering it to act as if it had never been.
The visitors themselves affirm that Macron, with his initiative, was behind the reactivation of communications that opened the door to reach an agreement that asks everyone to provide the required facilities or exchange concessions that press for Lebanon to get out of the impasse. Asharq Al-Awsat is told that Aoun adheres to the French initiative and sees no alternatives. He has a foreseeable future, and that is why he places all his hopes on him, perhaps allowing him to finish the last third of his presidential term with an achievement that lies in stopping the deterioration and preventing the country from falling into chaos.
They note that Aoun “distributes the responsibility for dropping the French initiative to the parties in varying proportions, and even if he winks from the channel of the former prime ministers, he blames his allies to a greater extent”, specifically “Hezbollah” and the “Amal” movement, in a context of disagreement. The Shiite duo ‘about the director who proposed to resolve the dispute over the Ministry of Finance in light of the duo’s insistence on receiving this bag.
In this context, visitors cite Aoun as saying that he convened the political consultations he undertook in an attempt to overcome the obstacles that still delay the birth of the new government headed by President-designate Ambassador Mustafa Adeeb after being informed that it tends to apologize for your creation.
They add that in their consultations, in which President Najib Mikati and a member of the “Future” parliamentary bloc, Samir al-Jisr, participated from outside the “March 8 Forces”, they focused on asking a series of questions, the The most prominent of which is how to get out of the impasse and apply the rotation in the distribution of portfolios between sects and the position of the parliamentary blocs. Their representatives are in the government.
They claim that when Aoun summoned the head of the “Loyalty to the Resistance” bloc, MP Muhammad Raad, to meet him in Baabda, he proposed that he allow him to appoint someone to take over the Ministry of Finance from outside the Shiite community and being a Christian, in exchange for personally committing to provide the guarantees required by the “Shiite duo” to dispel His obsessions. But Raad, according to the visitors, insisted on his position, just as the “Shiite duo” insisted on their position by rejecting the director presented by the leader of the “Future Movement”, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, and that the couple maintains. the Ministry of Finance, provided that the prime minister is allowed to choose the name of the candidate to assume.
Thus, the “Shiite duo” has closed the door on the way to reach an agreement, mainly because it insists that it has the exclusive right to appoint Shiite ministers, accusing the heads of the government club of appointing heterosexual ministers in abroad, while the President of the Republic has the right to appoint Christian ministers, just as both insist on appointing their ministers. .
Thus, Macron was forced to take a forced leave, which gave political parties an opportunity of between 4 and 6 weeks to review their accounts before moving again, and this led local forces to believe that he links the resumption of its movement with the procedures of the US presidential elections in the face of Tehran’s refusal to intervene under the pretext that the formation of a government is an internal matter. Although the other side of his non-interference is that he is withholding the formation of the government to be able to sell it in his next negotiations with Washington.
Consequently, it does not appear that Aoun is in the process of calling, at least in the foreseeable future, for binding parliamentary consultations to appoint the president in charge of Adeeb’s succession, and political sources attribute the reason to the fact that current data , unless they turn upside down in the direction of mature conditions conducive to the birth of a new government, he is not about to engage in an adventure that he will personally recover and be disappointed by, even though he can no longer tolerate any more shocks.
The same sources believe that Aoun’s experience through the faltering formation of a new government now entitles him to demand the need for a correlation between composition and assignment, or at least an understanding on the name of the designated president along with the resolution. of the dispute over the Ministry of Finance, while Hariri does not seem ready to float his initiative or He launched a new initiative although he launched it only from outside the club of former prime ministers.
Thus, Aoun will have no problem with the forces that oppose him, and this explains his unwillingness to form a one-colored confrontational government similar to the resigned government headed by Hassan Diab, in recognition that he will encounter opposition from It will extend beyond the Lebanese borders, although the interim period can be quite long. Whereas he is absent from the hearing after he became an accountant to count injuries and deaths from the Corona virus.
