Beyond convening a “national meeting” .. Kopec and the European ambassadors advised Aoun to hold it

Mohamed Choucair wrote in the newspaper “Al-Sharq Al-Awsat” under the title “European Ambassadors who advised Aoun when calling the” National Meeting “:” A representative pole revealed that the invitation of the President of the Republic Michel Aoun to the Heads of parties and parliamentary blocs for a “national meeting”, next Wednesday, to inform them about the reform program adopted by the government, responds to the advice he received from the United Nations Special Coordinator in Lebanon, Jan Kubitsch, and European ambassadors, and told Asharq Al-Awsat that this meeting was supposed to take place before the show was approved to get their opinion on the most prominent titles mentioned in it, especially that Among the guests there were a number of leaders opposed to governance and itchiness.

He noted that the European ambassadors had contacted several leaders and wished them to participate in the meeting, because their presence strengthens the Lebanese position to cross the reform program, as a condition of negotiating with the International Monetary Fund for help in stop financial and economic collapse.
He said that he would have preferred to wait for the approval of the reform program until after the completion of consultations with parliamentary blocks, the most prominent of which are not represented in government, in addition to unions, economic and banking organizations, and saw that the deliberations that will take place at the national meeting will not be binding on the government, because there is no space for introducing amendments to the program, and considered that complying with the invitation comes from raising the threshold, and with the sole objective of cutting the path in the ruling to excuse that the opposition did not participate was behind the IMF’s reluctance to respond to the aid request.
The political pole, which preferred not to be identified, emphasized that the meeting cannot be treated as a meeting place for dialogue, since the team affiliated with the President of the Republic began to expand. He said that he still does not know the reasons that prevent President Aoun from communicating with the opposition, despite the fact that he is the most capable, if he wants to, to reunite the Lebanese, provided he is located halfway between the opposition and the loyalists. Therefore, the Baabda meeting will not imply any political effect that can be built on to open a new page, on the basis of initiating dialogue and communication, rather than exchanging campaigns. ” Click here
