Mithaqia and Game Over.. Nawaf Salam and “Waj Muhammad Raad” took the lead

Lara Abi Rafi wrote on the MTV website:

Nawaf Salam was assigned to form the first government during the era of President Joseph Aoun, which ignited social networking sites. The “duo” was not satisfied. He did not name Salam in the consultations and winked at his deputies from the Al-Mithaqiya channel. Representative Muhammad Raad’s facial expressions may be the best expression of the party’s representatives’ opinion of the recent developments.

These developments were reflected, as usual, on social networking sites, where opinions were divided between supporters of what a number of activists called a “new era” in Lebanon, headed by the President of the Republic, Joseph Aoun, with the Prime Minister-designate, Nawaf Salam, at his side, and those who spoke of there being no charter in light of… The absence of the “duo”. As a result, Nawaf Salam’s name topped the most popular hashtag in Lebanon on the “X” platform, followed by “#Parliamentary_Consultations” and “#Mohamed_Raad.”
The duo’s belief that the future government must take into account the charter appeared clearly in posts written by its supporters, as one of them said: “There is no charter for any government that contradicts the spirit of the national charter,” while another wrote: “The Shiite sect: no name… a beginning.” Stumbling into the New Testament can be corrected before it is too late. Isolating or besieging any sect is dangerous and is not appropriate in Lebanon, no matter how the balance of power changes!”
On the other hand, activists opposing the “duo’s” opinion commented on what happened, and one of them said: “Muhammad Raad’s face and words express tension. “He has not yet realized that their time is over.”
In turn, former Minister May Chidiac wrote: “An interrogative question, commenting on Muhammad Raad: Is a government without the Lebanese Forces and March 14 considered a pact, and a government headed by a prime minister who was not named by Hezbollah is not considered a pact?… Have we not yet finished with the logic of surplus power! We told you GameOver.”

Therefore, because the argument that the “duo” is trying to use is the charter, it is necessary to remember and emphasize the legal meaning of this word. The Charter, in its true essence according to Paragraph (j) of the Lebanese Constitution, means that any authority loses its legitimacy if it practices sectarianism or contributes to deepening sectarian divisions.
However, the Lebanese reality has witnessed a distortion of this concept, as it has come to be used to justify the monopoly of seats in parliament and government according to narrow sectarian affiliations, while excluding any real participation in constitutional institutions.

The distorted concept of the Charter became a tool to disrupt institutions whenever political or sectarian interests conflicted, which led to repeated constitutional crises that threatened the stability and unity of the state.
