Imad Marmel wrote in Al-Jumhuriya: The visit of the US Ambassador, Dorothy Shea, to Deputy Brigadier General Shamil Roukoz attracted attention and whetted the appetite for various interpretations and speculations, especially since the meeting between them took place at the house. de Roukoz in Laqlouq, a short distance from the house of the head of the Free Patriotic Movement. »MP Gebran Bassil.
In this sense, the comparison prevails: on the one hand, Washington punishes the president’s son-in-law, Gebran Bassil, and on the other, opens, through his ambassador, the second “angry” son-in-law, Shamil Roukoz. However, the dean refuses to exaggerate the conclusions and places his first such meeting with the American ambassador Chia in a natural context..
Roukoz told Al-Jumhuriya that Shia’s visit to her home was exploratory, during which the prevailing conditions in Lebanon were discussed, explaining that she “asked questions about some of the issues raised and asked about my approach, and for my part I explained my opinion and my position “.
He points out that he meets from time to time with ambassadors in Laqlouq, “but the remarkable security measures that accompanied the visit of the US ambassador led to the dissemination of the news and to take on a dimension that exceeds its basic size.».
Roukoz confirms that the visit is normal and natural and does not support interpretations and interpretations of the type to which some have gone, making fun of the conspiracy theory promoted by some, underlining that “my known history and my national constants are solid, and in Based on this rule, I meet everyone without complications, because I am not corrupt or a perpetrator and I have no problem talking about anything.».
It indicates that the United States is a superpower and has an influential international position, “I treat the American role in a realistic way, away from any hostility or ties.».
He explains that the ambassador asked him about the political and reform framework launched by “Lebanon is my home”, and that he explained its objectives and nature..
He clarifies that the meeting “Lebanon is my home” includes “retired academics, specialists and officials, and there are no traditional politicians of this class who led us to this collapse, and it is not directed against anyone specifically, but against the entire corrupt system and failed “.».
He noted that a retreat was held for those involved in this meeting, in preparation for the organization of a general conference within two months, in which around 20 topics related to constitutional, political, economic and reform issues will be discussed, and stressed that the objective of “a national Lebanon” is to provide alternatives and responses to the growing stagnation, and to simulate the concerns of the Lebanese. And their aspirations through clear and practical proposals, “so that we are not simply opposing the opposition».
Roukoz warns that corruption files are opened without request, “to be frozen or moved according to political necessity,” warning that they are “subject to haggling and haggling, and are used in political calculations and agendas.” And he asked, “Is it any wonder that no file comes to an end?».
He noted that the corruption files are chronic and accumulated, “but the question arises: Why are they suddenly opened and suddenly closed, and why did they move now and not yesterday or tomorrow?” He continues: “The only explanation for the discretionary moment is that these files are used for political negotiations, no more, no less.».
It expresses its regret that most of the judiciary, in its current state, is unreliable.».
He considers that the false file that was opened against his wife, Mrs. Claudine Aoun, falls into this suspicious and suspicious context, “I know by name who incited her, but we will let the Judiciary reveal all the circumstances of this case, and Claudine has filed a lawsuit in this regard, and we hope that the truth will be revealed and not diluted. ” . And he continues with a smile: “Maybe now someone is preparing a file against me.».
Roukoz expresses his anger at the flawed delay in the formation of the government, without taking into account the suffering of the Lebanese, who are suffering the most serious economic crisis. And he adds: «What good is the obstructed third, provided that any component can break it whenever desired by means of delicate internal balances? And what is left of the ministries to dispute while the larger ministry no longer finds two francs in it? They are fighting for parts of the state while the concerns of the people are elsewhere.».
Roukoz warns that “if an acceptable government is not formed as soon as one can hope to gain the trust of the international community, then we are headed for a calamity greater than the one we are currently facing and we will be in danger of total social collapse. , which would cause a huge explosion. No one will “buckle” it this time».
It expresses its fear that there are external reasons to hinder the formation of the government, considering that Lebanon is using a card at the table of regional and international agreements or disputes, “However, this does not exempt the President of the Republic and the President-designate from the consequences of what happens due to the insistence on distraction in small authoritarian details, while the situation Collapsed and rolling from bad to worse, can no longer bear the wait ”, considering that the complications of the government are“ greater than what is seen in public and less than the responsibility officials are supposed to have.».
He is surprised how “some justify their behavior by defending the rights of their community, while all the sects are in a wind that blows under the weight of collapse.”
