Earlier this week, Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri begins “simulating” the details of the ministerial training project, thus examining the possibilities of completing the government puzzle installation in a short time. What are the chances he will have in front of him?
Contrary to the negative and pessimistic climate that prevailed on the eve of binding consultations, breezes of optimism and positivity have erupted after Hariri was assigned to form the government, and his deliberations with the parliamentary blocs, within the framework of non-binding consultations.
Perhaps the clearest indicator of the relative change in political mood, reflected in the activation of communication between the designated president and the president of the republic after the crisis of confidence, and the holding of a meeting of rupture and rupture between the head of the Future Movement and the “Strong Lebanon Bloc” headed by deputy Gebran Bassil in Parliament, after a period The acute rivalry that touched the political taboo, and that led Hariri to the neglect of the leader of the Free Movement, during the pre-consultations, while Baabda sites opened fire on the headquarters, through the “mouthpieces” of President Michel Aoun’s speech in strong language, just 48 hours away. From the name Hariri.
However, the surprise is that Aoun and Bassil on the one hand, and Hariri on the other, have tended to adopt realism and pragmatism when dealing with the other side, after consultations ended with their well-known result, apparently driven for their need to get out of the impasse that forms a common denominator between them.
According to some insiders, Paris pressured both Hariri and Bassil to reduce the size of the gap that separates them and push each of them to lower their ceiling.
However, despite some progress that has been made in recent days on the thick wall, optimism for the formation of the government soon becomes soft and weak, and no one can guarantee its stability and firmness, until the opposite appears. because the “snakes” that lurk in the details, can come out of their burrows and spread their poisons at any time, especially since there is still some ambiguity around what is rumored about joint flexibility and mutual ease at the level of approach to the criteria for forming a government.
Consequently, it is not yet known how far the president-designate could go in an attempt to scale the “hill” of understanding with the political forces, either in the appointment of specialized ministers or in the distribution of ministerial portfolios.
And based on previous experiences, the rule of “what you say is missing until it becomes the norm” remains in force, as long as the positive “checks” in circulation have not yet been cleared to the “new government.”
As for the central house, it is dominated by relative comfort. While Hariri was quoted confirming to those who congratulated him that the atmosphere is positive with the President of the Republic, pointing out that “if the intentions of the parties are truly pure, as manifested in public, then the formation of the government will be able to take shape soon. , perhaps within a week, “noting that the country is not Supporting the delay in composition.
Hariri explains that he is open to dialogue, “everything can be subject to discussion and understanding, but what is important and constant for me is that the French initiative must remain the center and the base.”
Al-Hariri stresses that the exclusive factor of specialization is not enough when selecting ministers, “but what is required is the availability of specialized knowledge in addition to specialization, because certificates alone are not a criterion of competence unless they are attached to experience, and the recent government is the best proof of this. ”
Is Hariri about to apologize if he faces obstacles on his journey as an author?
The president-designate affirms that there are no apologies, adding: “It is well known that my half is Iraqi, because my mother is of Iraqi origin, and therefore I am stubborn when necessary.”
And aside from the details of the cabinet formation file, is it correct to say that MP Nihad Al-Machnouk paid off his debt to President Saad Hariri, after naming him in binding parliamentary consultations?
Circles of the “future” president claim that Machnouk “if he walked for a month and fasted for an eve, that would not be enough for him to fulfill his religion in the house of Hariri.”
