Between the content of the XVII meeting between President Michel Aoun and President-designate Saad Hariri and the urgent and pressing foreign positions that threaten to punish the obstructors, and in the face of street pressure and the crazy rise in the price of the dollar, large hopes. on the horizon that the government could soon be born.
Informed circles went to emphasize that this sudden development at the level of government law is due to external factors that depend on internal factors that began to pressure for its achievement, especially from what Aoun’s word contained to the response of the Lebanese and Hariri of negative expressions. He did not hide that they implicitly received the urgent external and internal signals to form a government after the country has reached the brink of explosion, and therefore, next Monday will take place the eighteenth meeting between them with the intention of forming.
Al-Jumhuriya learned that Hariri came to Baabda first in a positive way, and spoke in calm language that ended the tension that accompanied the data war between him and the presidency of the republic yesterday.
Al-Jumhuriya also learned that the President of the Republic was listening for a long period of time during the meeting with Hariri, who was more than calm and decent, explained at length, and even gave more details about his government proposal during the Previous period.
Then Aoun said: “I am the president of the republic, and I am concerned about the whole government, not part of it, which means that the president brings me a complete vision of the portfolios, the doctrines and the party that appoints the specialized ministers. , so that the government is formed “.
During a quiet discussion about the document that Hariri had given to Aoun, it became clear that the Prime Minister-designate did not have the names of the ministers proposed by Hezbollah, so Aoun said: “I want a more comprehensive view, and that the El proposed government meets constitutional and specialized conditions. Since the “Lebanese Forces” and the “Free Patriotic Movement”, which are the two largest parliamentary blocs among Christians, do not participate, I am forced to appoint Christian ministers to secure the pact. “
Baabda sources considered that “the speech that President Aoun does not love Hariri is a detriment to the president’s right, explaining that he did not invite the designated prime minister to apologize for a personal reason, but if Hariri is tied against his will, and unable to quickly form a rescue government, to give space to other options for the good of the country and the people.
On the other hand, the sources of the “Free Patriotic Movement” believed that the absence of the name of its owner, Deputy Gebran Bassil, in the discussion between the two presidents on the issue of government “confirms that everything that is said about him is the obstruction is a prejudice to their right “.
Hariri’s silence
Hariri was silent, as in most of the previous meetings, on the outcome of the seventeenth meeting with Aoun. Sources close to him, upon his return to the House of Wasat, quoted the “Republic” as saying that “he is satisfied with what he said after the meeting with the President of the Republic, and has nothing to add.”
However, the sources of the “House of Wasat” said that Hariri did not bring a new government formation to Baabda, and that he was satisfied with the complete formation formed according to the composition of the 18 ministers, 9 Christians and 9 Muslims, and he did not add or change any names on it. It is the formation that was deposited with the President of the Republic on December 9, without any modification.
Aoun requested a deadline
In response to a question from Al-Jumhuriya about how to come to set a four-day deadline between next Monday to hold the eighteenth meeting between them, the same sources said that Hariri had no other choice in this period. He posed a few questions to Aoun and if there were any notes on the proposed bag distribution and names, he wanted to wait until next Monday for a clear answer to his questions.
In a second narrative, according to information from Al-Jumhuriya, the Hariri-Aoun meeting was dominated by an atmosphere of relief, in contrast to the tensions that preceded it. The economic situation had the largest area of investigation, especially the high dollar exchange rate, its causes, criminal scrutiny and the proposals and possible solutions. The security situation in the country was addressed. As for the government issue, Hariri resubmitted his form, and Aoun was listening, and Hariri said, “If you have new names, I have no objection, and you can consult them. The important thing is that they agree with the standards presented. “.
Became a thing of the past
Regarding the portfolio of the Ministry of the Interior, sources familiar with the government file confirmed that this portfolio has become a thing of the past for Hariri, and he ignored it when he showed his willingness to all the solutions, as well as the names put . advanced by the President of the Republic, but so far nothing has been resolved. Hariri has been open to all ideas except for the “third party guarantor” issue, insisting that obstruction is not in the hands of either party.
The sources added that Hariri, although he emphasized that he prefers the government of 18 ministers, at the same time showed flexibility in the possibility of expanding it, as long as he does not have a “third guarantor” for the President of the Republic and the “Free Patriotic Movement” because it is known that Aoun wants a government of 18 (6 + 1)) and a government of twenty (8 ministers).
At the end of the discussion, Hariri asked Aoun to set a date for a new meeting to be held between them today, but the President of the Republic decided that next Monday would be an authorization for consultations.
