In his speech, Geagea gave up many attempts to appease the party and send positive signals between them in previous periods, which did not rise to the level of dialogue. He is sure, like Hezbollah, that there is no chance that they will reunite, and the party cannot follow Geagea in any presidential dream. So Geagea goes very far on his political path. It prevailed as a larger Christian force, popular, political and in parliament, based on many opinion polls indicating such figures.
Taif and expanded decentralization
Samir Geagea took responsibility for what is happening from the collapses to the magic word “Mar Mikhael Agreement”, which he described as the agreement of interests and agreements between Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement, and failed to introduce the party to the state, rather it led the state to the party. Believing that these corrupt and spoiled people should go. And the Lebanese people are the ones who make the decision to leave it. Geagea was about to explicitly request the overthrow of the President of the Republic, but did not do so. He called for the abolition of the entire corrupt system and considered that the main entry point for change is Parliament, through elections, either early or on time.
In the discussion about changing the formula and the system, Geagea stated that he adheres to the Taif Agreement, which must be implemented, but in case some insist on changing the system, he openly declared to move to the expanded decentralization system. That is, change the Lebanese formula as a whole, and from there you can understand federalism.
Addressing Hezbollah
Geagea went to Hezbollah saying: “Where do you want after the situation in Lebanon arrives? Is there anything worse yet?” Are we expecting a total famine? Are you waiting for the Lebanese, old and young, to die of hunger or disease? Or burns, suffocation and invasion in mysterious explosions? She said: “Hezbollah must hand over the decision of war and peace to the state, and must stop its blatant foreign interference.” It is unjustified in the affairs and concerns of more than one Arab country, and to fail to play the role of spearhead for the expanding Iranian project in the Arab region. Geagea emphasized, “Hezbollah cannot continue without changing its orientations and behavior, and without organizing its relations with the state like any other political party and undertaking a project to rebuild it.” Noting that “the time has come to acknowledge reality and facts, and to conduct a review of policies and options. It is time to return to Lebanon in the sense of Al-Kalma al-Aridh. We cannot continue in similar conditions.” .
This crisis, which extends in all senses and fields, is essentially due to two basic factors: First: the transgression against the State, its constitution, sovereignty, authority, institutions and decisions of a State that grew under it and at its expense, which led to his paralysis. And secondly: rampant corruption in the state and society, which erodes the bodies of administrations and institutions to the bone, and has surpassed all perception in the last four years. This scourge must be eradicated and fought relentlessly, and its eradication can only be achieved by eradicating its demons. And if we want to delve into the subject, there is a magic word that sums up the reasons for everything we have achieved: “The Understanding of Mar Mikhael”, which of course San Miguel is completely innocent, as for the understanding itself, it is a deal between two parties to secure their narrow partisan interests at the expense of Lebanon, the homeland, Lebanon, the state. Lebanon is sovereignty, and at the expense of the Lebanese as a people, history and future. “
October 17 Revolution and Parliament
He emphasized that “the starting point for change will be in Parliament, and all Lebanese have the task and responsibility to effect this change through the ballot box, and not waste the last opportunity they have after long or short months to choose. who represents them, and will be the most dignified, efficient, clean, daring and honorable “. Fighting corruption at the hands of those who were the cause and its creators. The issue requires the reproduction of a new power, the creation of a new political elite, and the transformation of the upcoming elections into a testing ground of intentions and wills, and a platform for change, accountability and accountability. .
Geagea explained: “The October 17 uprising changed the course of events and mentalities, but it will not bear fruit only in the street, and it will tend to chaos, stagnation and self-sufficiency, if there is no clear roadmap that lead you to achieve your goals. For this uprising to achieve its objectives, it must move. ” At the polls, and on the electoral grounds, a new parliamentary majority will emerge from them, expressing the aspirations of the Lebanese. It is natural that early elections are held on the basis of current law which required a lot of time and effort. Those who ask for a new electoral law, even if the call was made in good faith. They serve those who do not want the elections to take place, or the parliamentary majority to change. “
He stressed that, “to the extent that we are warning about suspicious attempts not to hold the elections, not even in advance or even on time, we warn against any attempt to pass an electoral law that does not take into account the specificity of the pluralist composition of Lebanon. , and whose objective is to overthrow their characteristics, balances and social composition, and arrive under the guise of abolishing sectarianism “. “We are referring to the implementation of numerical democracy, and in this there is certain death for Lebanon.” She continued: “After the early parliamentary elections, we will be in front of a new parliament, a new government and a new authority. When the time for the presidential elections comes, we will have a word, a decision and a position in it.
Repentance in a Muarab agreement
Geagea referred to the “Maarab Agreement”, saying, “As we talk about the sinister“ Mar Mikhael Understanding, ”we will talk a bit about the controversial Maarab Agreement. The Maarab Agreement, contrary to what some think or affirm, is in its initial starting points an emotional, historical and moral conciliation. A long-standing social struggle. “He explained:” We wanted the Maarab Agreement, in addition to being a reconciliation and sentimental, to be the starting point for a true Christian-Islamic partnership in power and therefore a preliminary step. on the way to building an effective state, but unfortunately it was repeated dozens of times, later it turned out that the other party wanted it simply as a purely immediate political interest. “Contrary to everything mentioned in the Maarab agreement We wanted him to build a state of institutions, and others used him to extend the authority of the militias. We wanted him to fulfill the presidential ambition of General Michel Aoun since 1988, and to draw the curtain on this story for one and the last time, for us to start a new chapter after that, and they wanted him to take us back to the show. “The playwright himself returns. Then they stop time, the future, politics, the economy and national life as a whole, and they pawn it while waiting for the presidential ambition of those behind Aoun to be fulfilled. It is as if the future of the Lebanese, their livelihood and their lives are used to serve the interests and aspirations of these people. “
He continued: “The Maarab accord was supposed to be a basic focal point for the new presidential era, in accordance with clear reform and national rules. However, those in charge of the pact were quick to get rid of this agreement from the first moment, thinking that they would thus free themselves from the burdens of reform and free themselves from the difficulties of change, AND they displace them to a rival, but without realizing it. that they are depriving themselves of the political, popular and reformist leverage that could have saved the alliance and prevented the subsequent arrival of the country to which it came.
Revolution again
In his speech he addressed the October 17 Revolution, saying: “Before the October 17 Revolution, and before the Cedar Revolution, since 1975 there has been a revolution against occupation, settlements, illegal weapons and the violation of state sovereignty, a revolution against corruption, tradition, inheritance and class 43, once with resistance. “We are the children and grandchildren of the revolution, we are brothers and sisters, born from the womb of the pain of the homeland and of the people, and we will not calm down until the new Lebanon sprouts from the ashes.”
He stressed: “No, not all those who have worked in politics are the same as others, and in this context: No, not all mean all, because in principle, there is no other minister, and in terms of implementation, as the saying goes Common English: “By generalization, you go dumb.” We do not want some of the movements to appear silly and to be weakened by the battle with the political rabbits, with their maneuvers and their acrobatics.
Regarding the question of impartiality raised by His Beatitude the Patriarch Cardinal Bishara Boutros Al-Rahi, Geagea stated that “Bkerke is telling the truth. Why? Because Bkerke speaks of the main national and humanitarian principles, and speaks of the Sovereign, constitutional and covenant axioms and axioms without political interests or objectives. Elective, and because it has always been the voice of truth, truth and national conscience, and because it is the creator of the entity and memory of Lebanese history .
