The designated president, Mustafa Adib, this Monday afternoon makes the government formation available to the president of the Lebanese Republic, Michel Aoun, a day before the end of the term of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, who had delivered to the officials politicians, during his recent visit to Beirut, to form the new government.
Diab, who was quickly assigned to parliamentary consultations personally supervised by the French president, after visiting Beirut twice in less than a month after the Beirut port explosion, expressed support for the Lebanese demands, especially in terms of fight corruption and hold officials accountable, promising to topple affected streets with help and gradual change.
Macron was pressed
It seems that the French promises have paid off from the moment that President Adeeb, who was elected to conduct unusually fast parliamentary consultations, reached the point of mounting a formation in which the sterile political debate was resolved, dissipating concepts and innovations well settled, the most important of which is “pre-assignment membership, not the hindering third party,” according to local newspapers. .
Macron played an important role in supporting Adeeb, as he conducted a series of lobbying contacts, the most recent of which was last Saturday with the Speaker of Parliament, Nabih Berri, to dispel differences and impose his role on everyone, under the pretext of not helping Lebanon to end its economic crisis.
According to observers, the Macron-Berri call prompted the latter’s media office to issue a statement announcing that the Amal Movement (led by Berri) would not participate in the government. He indicated in the statement that “the problem is not with the French, the problem is internal and from within.”
The pressure did not stop at this point, as it reached the Free Patriotic Movement, accused of hindering the formation of more than one government by the distribution of portfolios, and its president, Gebran Bassil, announced at a press conference that “the movement does not has no desire to participate in government, “noting that” we were excited about the French initiative. ” Not only because France is a friendly country, nor because President Macron has shown all his love, sympathy and drive, but enthusiasm because this initiative (…) “
A miniature government without combining the ministry and the prosecution
On the details of the formation of the government, sources told Al-Hurra that there are some types of reforms that Lebanon has not seen before, the most prominent of which are:
Rotate ministerial portfolios among sectarian components and not limit them to specific parties and parties.
– Adopt a little training and abandon the idea of governments XX and XXX.
The separation of the ministry from the prosecution, which is a principle of democratic reform, has always been required when forming each new government.
The Lebanese newspaper Al-Liwaa also stated: “The new formation lacks four ministries, namely: media, culture, displaced and administrative development.”
The glow of US sanctions
The Nidaa Al-Watan newspaper reported, citing local sources, on new names that are not exhausted in a mini-government of “14 ministers”, as well as the refusal to impose a Shiite monopoly on the Finance Ministry, granting the portfolio of the Interior Ministry to a Shiite figure who may be a retired officer of the Shehitli family who is not affiliated and not Provoking the Shiite duo, or the Director General of Public Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim.
The newspaper quoted diplomatic sources as saying that “the brilliance of the (US) sanctions did indeed help push everyone to follow the completely lengthy and coordinated plan between the French and the Americans.”
In this context, the Lebanese writer and journalist Asaad Bishara explained, in an interview with Al-Hurra, that “it is expected that the President-designate Mustafa Adib will make the government formation available to the President of the Republic, who is facing a of the possibilities, the first rejecting the training, the second waiting to sign and send it. To the House of Representatives, and the third to sign it quickly to go to Parliament and win or not trust.
“Hezbollah loses its last defense.”
Bishara considered that “the Hezbollah system is confused when dealing with the French initiative and begins to lose its last defenses and letters, since the Shiite duo (Hezbollah and Amal Movement) bets on Michel Aoun’s rejection of this formation that starts from the essence of the French initiative, which stipulates the formation of a government that does not control The political parties must be, and their mission is reform and economic rescue ”.
He noted that “Hezbollah used the heresy of the Finance Ministry to infiltrate this formation in an attempt to fundamentally change its nature,” adding that “the French initiative faces a great test, because Aoun, which fears economic sanctions, is under tremendous pressure from Hezbollah not to sign. “
The Lebanese writer hoped that “the president of the republic would go towards the second option, which is to wait, as the option of bowing between rejection and acceptance, which if it occurs means that the French initiative entered the phase of mines planted by Hezbollah. “, fearing that it” will resort to fomenting chaos and violence to reintroduce Lebanon into blackmail. ” Great security ”, saying,“ We are in articulated hours ”.
