The current to the opposition


Rali Ibrahim wrote in the news: It has become almost certain that the Free Patriotic Movement will not participate in the first government of Al -Ahd, which is constituted by Judge Nawaf Salam. This decision did not come as a result of the reluctance of Representative Gibran Bassil, but rather because Salam decided to exclude the current from its squad for unclear reasons. Bassel, who called Salam to head the government, announced from the first moment that he sees in Judge Salam a reformist face, and excessively expressing the positive to facilitate the task of the president in charge of non -discussion, not in the number of bags or in the names of its occupants, provided that the proposed name is “trusted” to be able to adopt it .








However, since the peace negotiation negotiations and circulation in the names began, its interest focused on negotiating with the duo Hezbollah and the Amal movement on the Shiite session, and then with the Lebanese forces, while the name of any candidate representing the Free Patriotic Movement was not given, and the president of the current was not contacted to display Any bag on it.

In Christian representation, Salam was called the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Energy and Communications and put Vitatat on names proposed by the President of the Republic. Consequently, with the passage of about two weeks on the assignment, the image began to become more clear to the current with a feeling that there is an effort to keep it outside the government, or embarrass him to pushing him to go out on his own. Three days ago, Basil held a press conference in which he talked about the non -unity of the standards in negotiating with the political parties, and repeated the current keenness not to adhere to a specific bag, name or number. He referred to “a malicious endeavor for some to prevent the current from giving with any other team the possibility of obtaining a broken third”, and the purpose of it “either reduces the size of the current or prevents it from entering the government.”

On that day, Basil was supposed to be ascended to the way of forming the government and attempts to exclude it, but his “friend Nawaf” asked him to wait and promise him to find fair solutions for everyone. However, it seems, a peace strategy with the current and all other parties focuses on buying time to surprise them with a collection he considers to be balanced and commensurate with his “reformist” goal. Therefore, as soon as the “Lebanese Forces” accepted the names proposed by Salam to represent them (a conflict atmosphere and the perfection of Shehadeh), the designated president no longer needs to cover the current, so he dispensed with him despite the “friendship” that combines Salam and Basil, who holds a press conference today to clarify what happened.
In the political scale, there are 3 basic points indicating the loss of the current due to its lack of participation in the next government:

First, the current has already waved the option to go out to the opposition from the premise that it relaxes it, but the situation today, internationally, regionally and locally, is completely different from the year 2005, in addition to the fact that the current, with its deputies, ministers and activists, used to power and was an essential part in it for nearly nine years . Also, his bad experience in government, which is still soft in the minds, will not help him much in the opposition because he will always face the phrase “You were in power and did not achieve anything.”
Second, the current was one of the contributors to assigning peace and went to its name with its prior knowledge that with this choice, he would have broken the remaining straw with Hezbollah in a very sensitive stage for the latter in terms of supporting “change”. However, it ended with the loss of both government representation and the alliance with the party.

Third, the government of Nawaf Salam will be a government of appointments, political decisions and municipal and representative elections, which makes the representation of parties within it is a necessity because it comes in a founding stage in the country, from reconstruction to the economic and social file, to the changes that will be ravaged by politics according to international changes and in southern Lebanon, which imposes All political parties participate in the government, because those who remain outside will be outside the settlement or the new map in general.

There remains one bet that the trend of trend is that the government is not able to take off due to the political differences that the parties formed for it, and that the next stage be full of clash and great conflicts that will affect government work and may be suspended permanently.
