“Lebanese Debate”
It was remarkable the comment of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on talking about sanctions that will be imposed on him due to the closure of the House of Representatives, when he said: “They presented serious candidates to compete, and then we will go to the parliament and let the parliament elect whoever is elected.” This comment, which carries a specific message, prompts the obvious question, is it It officially announces that Jihad Azour is a non-serious candidate. If Azour is a non-serious candidate, what are the characteristics of a serious candidate for Speaker Berri?
A member of the Development and Liberation Bloc, Representative Fadi Alama, recalls that “President Berri defined the standards and specifications of a serious president in the past, and they themselves apply to the head of the Marada Movement, Suleiman Franjieh.”
In an interview with the “Lebanon Debate”, Alama says: “A serious candidate means that he is able to communicate with all parties, in addition to his relations with all international bodies, and that he has experience and political acumen and his presence, and these specifications were previously determined by the president, and even At the moment nothing has changed.”
Berri’s words somehow suggest that he will not accept Azour’s accession to the presidency? He replies: “What Berri says is that he is officially supportive of Minister Franjieh, and believes that this is the candidate who has the ability to revive the country and implement the required reforms.”
Will Berri call for a session when he is sure of securing 65 votes for Franjieh? He says: “Berri was clear that he would not repeat the play of failure. He would not call for a session before he saw that the session would be productive, and the atmosphere today does not at all indicate that it will be productive.”
Alama pointed out, in conclusion, that “Speaker Berri is still waiting for the other parties to agree on a serious candidate to go to Parliament, and until this moment there is no seriousness in the matter of the agreement, and in the event that the opposition officially announces the adoption of Jihad Azour for every recent incident.”
