Beirut – “Al-Quds Al-Arabi”: The Shiite duo did not abandon their demand to adhere to the money exchange and appoint the Shiite ministers in the next government. Loyalty to the Resistance “The attempts of some to intimidate external forces to form a falsified government in the interests of a party are attempts aimed at emptying the content of the French initiative and breaking down the bridges of trust that we have always wanted to consolidate with other components. ”. After its periodic meeting, the bloc was surprised that “some of those who form the shadow government tend to prevent the designated president from consulting with the blocs, to create new mechanisms and disturb the balance of the government by snatching the financial portfolio. to others “, and pointed out that” despite this there is still an opportunity to restore what was ruined Those who assume in the shadows the process of formation of the new government. “
The bloc reaffirmed the position presented by its president, Mohamed Raad, to the President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, according to which he categorically refused “to let someone appoint the ministers who should represent us in government.” He also affirmed his resounding refusal that “someone prohibits receiving the component to which we belong to a ministerial portfolio, especially the portfolio of the Ministry of Finance, and otherwise we are open to discussion.”
And the news spread that, given the intransigence shown by the Shiite duo, the French were convinced that it was imperative to save the French initiative of agreeing to keep the stock market with the Shiites. This is what the duo’s sources cited about the meeting that brought together the French ambassador, Bernard Foucher, and the international relations official at Hezbollah, Ammar Al-Mousawi, at the Pine Palace at all, that Paris does not interfere in the details of the authorship process. This puts the ball in the court of Prime Minister Hariri and former heads of government who refused to dedicate bags to a sect or party, and adhered to the principle of comprehensive rotation. Any withdrawal by them would mean a definitive acceptance that the Ministry of Finance will become a custom on the part of the Shiite team, which is rejected by the Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Mar Bishara Boutros Al-Rahi and the Christian parties, including the Free Patriotic Movement, so as not to be an entrance to the triangle, while the Shiite team considers the third Shiite signature to differ. From the Triangle.
Later, Hariri’s adviser, Hussein al-Wajh, responded to leaks about the Shiite consensus with the French side to keep finances in their possession: “The attempt to falsify words about” the agreement with the French side to keep the Shiite finances “falsely suggests that France is forming the government.” The French have told the whole world that the finance minister can be Muslim or Christian, Shiite, Sunni, Druze, Maronite, Orthodox, Catholic or Armenian, because this is not a matter for France, but for the Lebanese!
Al-Wajh also denied what LBCI said, “Prime Minister Hariri stipulated that he be named the Shiite figure who will assume the finances, and that this matter met with the rejection of former prime ministers, especially President Fouad Siniora, and the Shiite duo “.
Meanwhile, President-designate Mustafa Adeeb made one last attempt at the Shiite duo before apologizing, as the two Khalileans met with Berri’s political aide, MP Ali Hassan Khalil, and the political aide to the Hezbollah secretary general, Hussein al-Khalil, who told him, according to Representative Khalil, “We fully support the French initiative Their positions agreed at the Al-Pine Palace,” and thus there is no change in the duo’s position regarding the money bag on the basis that the initiative did not go into the details of the formation and distribution of bags.
Adeeb’s meeting with Khalilin came after the president-designate postponed his visit to the Baabda Palace from noon to noon. Adeeb sources quoted him as saying: “The task assigned to me as a result of the understanding of the majority of the Lebanese political forces, is to form a government of non-political specialists, in a record period, and to start implementing reforms immediately. On this basis, the objective was not to monopolize opinion, nor to target any of the Lebanese political components, but to choose a governmental formation of specialists. Any other proposal will subsequently impose a different approach to the new government, and this does not correspond to the mission for which it was assigned. Adeeb added: “As I really want to maintain the mission that I am fulfilling in line with the spirit of basic understanding of the specialist government, I asked President Michel Aoun to postpone the meeting between us until this afternoon, to make more contacts before determine the final position “.
The Aoun-Adib meeting took place in light of the likelihood that the president-designate would apologize, who, while hesitating, carried the apology statement in his pocket, but the Elysee Palace forcefully entered the line of communication to wait for any decisions to be made and keep options open until Sunday in the hope that the complications would be resolved and a deal reached. Government arrangements on the Ministry of Finance with the Shiite duo, taking into account that the mere acceptance of the president in charge of the fall of the principle of rotation may lead to the fall of the principle of neutrality of ministers and a government formula similar to the government of Hassan Diab, where each party appoints its ministers, and this is not acceptable to the designated president. After the meeting in Baabda, the president-designate said: “I presented to President Aoun the difficulties facing the government allocation, and we agreed to wait a bit to allow more time for consultations, and we hope for the best.”
