‘Shiite mobilization’ to refuse to extract money from you

The consultations did not resolve the issue of the rotation of the four sovereign ministries. Finance, Foreign Affairs, Defense and Interior, as they are still in a circle of attraction around him. The main point of disagreement is that the president-designate has a serious inclination to remove the Finance Ministry from the Shiite side, provided an alternative sovereign portfolio is assigned to him. This corresponds to a categorical and definitive rejection on the part of the Shiite party, not only leaving the Ministry of Finance, but also approaching it on the subject of leaving it since it is out of the question..

According to information from the Republic, the Shiite side considers that the finance portfolio is “like the presidencies”, and it was emphasized in Taif that it is on the side of the Shiites. ” And that there is something like a complete Shiite political and sectarian mobilization, refusing to extract the portfolio of finances on their part.

The information indicates that “on the sidelines of these consultations an opinion was presented in support of the position of the Shiite party, indicating that the Ministry of Finance may be the most appropriate to assign the Shiites of all other sovereign portfolios, since it cannot assigning them the Interior Ministry looking at their composition from beginning to end “, Also, to their basic security system, which is predominantly Sunni, and there is no precedent for a Shiite minister to take over the Interior Ministry, at least after Taif . They are the official mouthpiece of Lebanon and they control the Lebanese diplomatic missions outside of Lebanon and run them in the direction they want. The same applies to the Ministry of Defense. It also brings the loudest voices from within and without saying that the Shiite duo are seeking to re-dedicate the triple equation: the army, the people and the resistance. In conclusion, the most suitable solution is to keep finances within the first part. For the Shiites, as long as it is assigned a figure the size of this ministry, which has a wealth in the financial and economic sphere, and has its weight in parallel to the challenges that lie ahead, among them the negotiations with the International Monetary Fund and international financial institutions of all kinds.
