Consequently, during the last hours the pace of distant communications and consultations of the media between the political parties that support the formation of the new government accelerated, to overcome the contract and overcome the difficulties to accelerate the formation process before the established deadline. by French President Emmanuel Macron on his recent visit to Lebanon.
Coinciding with the passage of 40 days since the earthquake of August 4, the surroundings of the Baabda Palace will be today in an appointment with a demonstration called by popular groups of the civil movement to participate in a “black dress” march towards the Republican Palace , stressing that all those responsible for the Beirut port explosion must be held accountable. At one point, this measure comes in the immediate aftermath of the September 10 fire that killed the free zone in the port and resulted in heavy losses of around $ 15 million due to structural and structural damage to equipment, in addition to the burning of food and non-food goods and items that were stored on site. Let us remain the “most important question” that puzzled international minds, posed yesterday by the United Nations Special Coordinator in Lebanon, Jan Kubis, to Lebanese officials: “How can highly flammable materials and other materials remain in the port? dangerous materials?” After the explosion of August 4!
Government soon
Thus, Adeeb is just around the corner from a forced cesarean delivery for his training based on “walking or walking”, according to the expression of sources that accompany the “call of the homeland”, confirming that “the draft of this initial training will be in a few hours at the table in the Baabda palace as a matter of constitutional consultation between the first and third presidencies. ” Before sending it in its final form to the Department of Protocols “.
The sources cited that “the designated president, who is willing to adhere to the constitutional principles that regulate the frameworks of consultation and consensus with the President of the Republic and to listen to his observations in the process of government formation, is interested at the same time in form a harmonious and supportive government capable of achieving and working away from political disputes within its ranks, firstly because the Constitution himself did not oblige any prime minister assigned to adopt parliamentary consultations as they were considered “non-binding” and intended solely to request the opinions of the blocs and listen to their demands without being bound by them, and secondly because the French initiative by which Adeeb was assigned to form the government requires streamlining the work of government and rationalizing it within a purely reformist framework to be His government. it is truly a “mission government” that addresses internal challenges and satisfies foreign aspirations to revive the country from its deepening crisis. Accordingly, the president-designate will spend until the end of the week in the process of putting “the final touches” on the draft of his formation after reviewing the map of names and portfolios that he drew up in light of his inquiries and contacts within. of the 15-day French authorship deadline, in preparation to introduce any final amendments or “rotations” before reloading. On the weekend he goes to the President of the Republic and places him in his custody for his acceptance or rejection.
And although political circles did not rule out the possibility of colliding with the ministerial draft, that the president-designate will reveal his vision of its composition during his visit to the Baabda Palace, “with obstacles and pitfalls aimed at the last moments to try to turn around to some of its acute angles “, on the other hand, they emphasized that” the bet is still based on the fact that all political parties are They know very well that the French initiative constitutes the only vehicle for survival of the country, and the risk of obstructing it causes the roof of the structure to collapse on everyone’s head, noting that “Paris is closely following the extent of the commitment of the presidential and political parties with their promises to facilitate the formation of a specialized and non-politicized government headed by Mustafa Adib and President Macron. He does not appear to be willing to tolerate or tolerate any attempt by the Lebanese parties to break their promises. “.
Meet the minors
Yesterday’s information indicated that the President-designate will visit the Presidential Palace today to consult with the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, on the structure of his government, which he has probably achieved by distributing suitcases and placing names on them. This information indicated that in the event that the designated president agrees with President Aoun on the draft of the governance structure, there will be no objection in principle to expecting her to be born early in the week, which necessarily means resolving the issue of the bag of money to keep things going. Therefore, the observers stopped before the “Free Patriotic Movement” shed the media spotlight yesterday on a position that its president, MP Gebran Bassil, will announce on Sunday, not to join the movement and the ” Lebanon’s strong bloc “in the government, but with the support and confidence of the government. However, this position seems to acquire other connotations because no party or other movement will not participate in government if it is made up of independent non-partisan specialists. This is a matter related to the difficult solution that is sought for the issue of the money bag, that if its occupant is not partisan and is not connected to “hope.” “It will cause confusion and complications that are difficult to overcome.
Government between optimism and pessimism
Thus, information on the path of government formation came into conflict between optimists and conservatives about its formation, and information from optimists indicates that the training may take place next Monday after a visit by President-designate Dr. Mustafa Adeeb today Saturday to President Michel Aoun to present a government formation, or it will be postponed to next week if Adeeb visits Baabda. Monday, and optimistic data confirms that the training is almost completed by President Adib, but the names have not yet been finalized. However, sources at the Baabda Palace confirmed to the “Major General” that President Adib did not request a date to visit the palace on Saturday, at least until last night.
As for the conservatives, they see that the issue after the United States sanctions against Deputy Ali Hassan Khalil will not be the same as before, but what is constant after the visit of Major General Abbas Ibrahim to Paris and his meeting with the Head of the Lebanese file at the Elysee Palace, Ambassador Bernard Aime, is that France is waiting to implement what the political parties promised. Facilitate and accelerate government training of appropriate specialists.
On the other hand, official monitoring sources said the government formation was expected to be completed this week, but the US sanctions, which indirectly targeted President Nabih Berri, halted the government’s move to clarify the background and objectives of the penalties at this particular time. Note that some information previously reported that Berri To facilitate the formation of the government, he will not appoint the Shiite minister for the finance portfolio and will leave the election to the designated president, after Berri refused to hand over the portfolio to anyone other than the sect. Shiite, as this is a charter standard, even if it was not written. President Adeeb must intensify and accelerate his contacts to include all political parties and produce a decisive and positive result.
In this regard, monitoring sources reported that some political forces were surprised by the lack of communication between President Adib and the parliamentary blocs that appointed him to head the government and that it is supposed to give him the parliamentary confidence to obtain their opinion. She said that she limits her contacts to the French side and former heads of government, especially Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
Sources indicate that the sanctions have created a new political reality that will push the Shiite duo to be strict on the issue of forming a government and appointing ministers of the sect, while President Adeeb seeks to adopt training standards that adapt to recent developments and changes.
The financial node continues
Al-Liwaa learned that the communications not only addresses the complex of appointing the Shiite team to the finance minister, or adhering to the portfolio, but that there is another contract, despite the progress that has been made in terms of not requiring a stake. ministerial in Baabda, and away from the participation of the Free Patriotic Movement, such as representing the Druze team, The Marada Movement, the Armenian team and others …
In the information, the “Shiite duo” and President Nabih Berri expect an initiative to contain the impact of the “US sanctions” against Representative Ali Hassan Khalil.
Until last night, the possible exits to deal with the knot of the money bag that the president of the parliament Nabih Berri, supported by his ally in the Shiite duo “Hezbollah”, had not crystallized. Rather, the duo’s position is not limited to allocating the money to only one Shiite, but Berri insists on proposing candidates for the ministerial position. . In this context, President Berri stated in an interview with Al-Nahar that the issue of personality selection to be agreed upon by the Ministry of Finance is subject to discussion with President-designate Mustafa Adib, “from one to ten names and more until I accept one of them. ” Berri says that, in his opinion, the money bag is equivalent to anything that is charter, and that the access of the Shiites to it is a question of charter that has nothing wrong. And although she refuses to consider her position as a stumbling block to delay the formation of the government, she says: “These words are false and whoever is working on proposing them seeks to benefit from other portfolios.” Berri affirms that everything that is outside the Ministry of Finance “is subject to consideration, response, understanding and understanding.”
However, at night information circulated that the designated president managed to distribute suitcases to the sects, provided that he presents the first draft of the government formation today before the President of the Republic and consults on the matter before announcing it next Monday. .
