Tomorrow, the whistle of the sixty-day deadline for electing the President of the Republic will sound, and the countdown to the promised day hidden in the quiver of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who has the authority to call for the electoral session, begins.
Tomorrow, as it has become known, the Speaker of the Council will specify, in a speech commemorating the disappearance of Imam Musa al-Sadr from Tyre, the road map that he will follow before calling for the election session, the basis of which is to put everyone before their responsibilities to reach a sound presidential election free from any impurities or complications, and to avoid the occurrence of any impurities or complications. A vacuum in the first presidential seat, and the abnormal situation and negative consequences that may result from it on the entire internal scene.
And if all the senses of the country will focus during the next two months on the presidential election and the attempt to search for the future president, but this, according to sources concerned with the authorship file, does not mean stopping attempts to generate a new government, as this matter remains relevant until the last moment of President Michel Aoun’s term of office. , which was evident in the movement of communications that run away from the spotlight to crystallize exits that remove obstacles in the way of composition, but these communications have not reached a conclusion yet.
According to reliable political sources to Al-Gomhoria, despite the depth of the gap between President Michel Aoun and his political team and President-designate Najib Mikati, there is a need to continue attempts to bridge it and seek to form a government even in the last few meters of Aoun’s term, which is the country’s interest. and maintain its stability at all levels. Whatever the form of government, political or non-political, pure or mixed technocrats and grafted with politicians, a government of 24 ministers or expanded from 30, and even keeping the current government as it is and reissuing its decrees anew, all of this is much better than no government as it is. The situation is now, and the country avoids falling into pitfalls, and unexpected, uncalculated and undesirable consequences.
According to Al-Jumhuriya’s information, the government file, along with other files, was the subject of exchanges between Presidents Berri and Mikati yesterday in Ain al-Tineh. With council sources stressing the urgent priority at this stage to form a government that takes care of people’s affairs and meets the requirements of the country that is witnessing successive collapses in its various sectors, in addition to the initiative of the current government to play its role and assume its responsibilities in this difficult stage, even if it is within the narrowest limits of the conduct of business to alleviate From the suffering of the Lebanese, which has reached an alarming level of very serious difficulties and slippages if the situation continues as it is of decline and chaos.
The information indicates that the Speaker of Parliament is about to call soon for a legislative session to approve a set of important files, which are related to the required reforms and the requirements of the International Monetary Fund, in preparation for concluding a cooperation agreement between Lebanon and the Fund that leads to some détente on the horizon of the internal crisis.
The same topics were presented by Speaker Berri with the head of the Democratic Gathering, Representative Timor Janilat, who wrote on his Twitter account: “During the meeting with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, it was emphasized that the “required reforms and the budget, and the need to address the electricity file, complete negotiations with the IMF, and conduct Presidential elections within constitutional deadlines.
Sources keeping pace with government developments draw attention to the fact that “President Berri will be a key player in the presidential and government scenes, starting from the beginning of September,” the date of the start of the constitutional deadline for electing a new president, explaining that this is mainly due to Berri’s control over the issue of setting the date for calling for the election of the president. Hence, the game will be in his hands, because when he calls on the parliament, it will then turn into an electoral body, and the representatives will not be able to legislate or give any new government confidence, and this will constitute a pressure factor on Aoun and Mikati to speed up the formation before the Speaker of the Parliament calls for the start of presidential elections.”
