Macron said his word and Hariri’s situation is difficult. These are the “conditions of Europe” to bring Lebanon out of collapse.

Europe faces the dilemma of providing the necessary humanitarian assistance to the victims of the Beirut port bomb attack on August 4, which killed more than 200 people, and linking the financing of large development projects to the reforms imposed. to the Lebanese authorities by the International Monetary Fund, according to a report by the International Crisis Group, namely International Non-Governmental Organization.

The organization considered that the main donors to Lebanon, especially in Europe, are eager for the country to recover, but due to its poor record in carrying out reforms, they have placed restrictions on the delivery of aid, after the government and political leaders were informed that they must first reach an agreement with the International Monetary Fund and implement reforms. According to the commitments made.
The visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, after the August 4 attack, conveyed a similar message, that it is a need that must be addressed by the European Union and its member states, and that financial aid, with the exception of humanity It is not provided until after the Lebanese authorities implement real reforms that benefit the country, and all citizens, not the few of them.

Lack of seriousness in taking reform measures
The organization noted that in Lebanon, which is looking for ways to close the growing financial gap, political leaders are refraining from taking serious reform measures as leaders trade accusations of hindering reforms with each other, adding that they have slowed down. In the implementation of what was promised, as after the protests that broke out in October 2019, and the resignation of the prime ministers, Saad Hariri and Hassan Diab, and the apology of Ambassador Mustafa Adeeb for forming the government, nothing has changed.
He stressed that Hariri, who was again tasked with forming a government, on October 22, faces more difficult tasks than those that confused Adeeb and led him to apologize, and stressed that activists are calling on international supporters Lebanon to refrain from saving authority without first securing meaningful reforms.
Donor conferences
European governments have always been among Lebanon’s top donors, as France specifically hosted many donor conferences, without further strings attached, but apparent flaws in the state’s governance system and economic policy led them to impose conditions that are reflected in improving the performance of government reforms.
‘Obstruct Hezbollah’
US officials are reported to support the European demand for reforms, but accuse Hezbollah of obstructing progress, opposing Macron’s decision to invite the party, along with all other parties, to participate in reform efforts.
