After the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun met with the president in charge of forming the government, Mustafa Adib, the Presidential Palace announced that Aoun would hold consultations today (yesterday) and tomorrow (today) to consult with the chiefs of the blocks, the situation turned around, and the political and diplomatic circles were surprised by an unprecedented position, and one step Raises more than a question mark, not only in its timing, but also in its constitutional, constitutional and politicians.
The step is represented by the consultations initiated by President Michel Aoun with the heads of the parliamentary blocs, and constitutes a serious violation of article 64 of the Constitution, second paragraph, which establishes, in the context of the definition of the powers of the First Minister, who: “(The Speaker) conducts parliamentary consultations to form the government, and signs with the President of the Republic. Decree of its formation … etc. “..
What is the meaning of Baabda’s measure, and the initiative to the consultations that Baabda’s sources attributed to the commitment that “Aoun conducts consultations after the president-designate informed him that there are obstacles and complications related to rotation. The prime minister-designate, perhaps, arrives this time with a combination of government with names in preparation for dropping the names on portfolios and the number of ministers to commit to the French initiative.
He noted that President Aoun is committed to the French initiative as a reform rescue initiative with distinction, noting that the need to reform and address the aftermath of the explosion, a transparent investigation, the structural economic and financial crisis, has become urgent. the International Monetary Fund, the Sidr conference and the conference that President Macron intends to hold for Lebanon on October 15, and the deadlines are pressing. The French initiative cannot be failed, nor is it intended to lead to this initiative, just as the French president does not want it to lead to major internal siting, rotation or standard setting problems.
He explained that the President of the Republic is completing his consultations today and there is another session with the designated president to inform him of the position of the majority and the contract because the commission was made with a comfortable majority and it is important that the composition is carried out with the approval of a comfortable majority also because there is confidence in the House of Representatives, indicating that the objective of these consultations is to produce conclusions reached by the designated president and the French. Friends who take the initiative to open aid programs for Lebanon in reform, and the result appears today.
Although he recognizes that the president of the republic is not only going to sign the formation, that is, the formation, but it is the first time since Taif that the president of the republic carries out direct consultations with the heads of the blocks, the results of which can be contrary to what is desired of them, to then form a barricade in the face of the designated president, by announcing the results of the vote of confidence in advance, or the rejection of the training if it came in contravention of the consultations, or the president Designated squeezed into the corner without shame and was dismissed …
Yesterday, President Adeeb presented to President Aoun his unwritten vision of the new government through the results of his contacts to form the next government.
But the other important event that took place, that President Aoun met after his meeting with President Adib, several representatives of the blocs, at his request and at the beginning of the consultations he decided to hold with the parliamentary blocs to get their opinion On the issue of government formation, after President Adeeb refused to carry out these consultations, This was the object of resentment from Aoun and most of the blocs.
It was known that Aoun asked the representatives of the blocks questions related to the form of government, the rotation in ministerial portfolios, how and the validity of the appointments of ministers, and if the designated president could appoint ministers on behalf of the political parties and the president of the republic, and said that the country is going through dangerous conditions and situations that require cooperation and that the rotation has not been adopted in ministerial portfolios since then. 15 years, taking into account that the constitution does not foresee that a specific sect maintains a specific portfolio.
According to the information, the response of the representatives on the issue of the rotation of the bags was: What does Al-Taif say? Aoun replied: that no bag is designated for a specific sect. The deputies said: We are with Al-Taif, while Karami emphasized that despite that, the priority remains internal stability and not creating great tensions.
The deputies made it clear that restricting a ministerial portfolio is not a statute, and what was agreed on the pact was incorporated into the Taif constitution, and the issue of allocating funds to Shiites in Taif was raised, but excluded from the debate. Otherwise, it would have been included in the reforms that were carried out at a later time, if this issue had to be approved, the constitution should be amended to assign the portfolio to a specific sect.
And about who are called ministers, especially those affiliated with the president? One of the deputies asked Aoun: Did you agree to be appointed by the president-designate? Aoun answered negatively, saying that’s why I’m asking you. But the deputy said: The formation of the government takes place abroad, so Aoun denied it and said no, we formed it and we are supervising the contacts of its formation.
Another deputy said: According to the constitution, the designated president forms a government after consulting with the blocs, and now the opportunity is ripe and does not come twice, the international community is with us, but this time it has its conditions. We must work to restore the confidence of the international community and the confidence of the Lebanese interior. Restoring trust is not done through old, unconstitutional and unproductive combinations.
There was a political discussion between Aoun and Karami, who considered that the outside puts us in front of two options, both difficult if we do not comply with their conditions. Regarding the financial collapse due to the cessation of aid, or internal tensions, Aoun said: You have a right.
And how does the consultative meeting with the new government deal with? Karami said: We did not name Adeeb for the reasons we mentioned at the time, but we dealt with the issues according to his presentation, which means that we define our position on each issue in turn, and so on regarding the formation of the government. , its program, its ministers and the distribution of portfolios.
Informed political sources confirmed to the “Major General” that a halt was made for the government file, and therefore the list that the designated Prime Minister, Dr. Mustafa Adeeb, was supposed to take to the Baabda Palace and deal with of his government formation was extinguished in its beginnings, and his visit in the morning to the President of the Republic except for consultations and finding exits at that time. The same departments of the Baabda Palace were preparing the program of consultations that the President of the Republic is dealing with with the heads of parliamentary blocs, especially since the idea circulated in the last hours and required this consultation.
The sources revealed that they were discussed between Aoun and Adeeb, so the president-designate came to make consultations, and Aoun, in turn, made consultations with the blocks that would give their confidence to the government in the House of Representatives.
He said that the last forty-eight hours have brought positions and developments that frozen the government file and the course of authorship, so the environment had to be ventilated.
And it is understood from the sources that these consultations, which are completed today with Aoun’s meeting with MPs Najib Mikati, Muhammad Raad, Talal Arslan and Hagop Pakradounian, are aimed at solving things, given that there are pending points, including representation Shiite rotating, the number and mechanism for appointing ministers.
