‘Strong Lebanon’: The government’s silence on Salameh’s performance puts them in the position of accomplice

The “Strong Lebanon” bloc confirmed in a statement following its periodic meeting chaired by Representative Gebran Bassil, that “the absolute priority of the House of Representatives lies in electing a President of the Republic, and this is what the legislator meant when he spoke regarding the governing session of the House until the election of the President. This is exactly what Article 62 of the Constitution utters.” Which entrusted the powers of the Presidency of the Republic by proxy to the Council of Ministers when the presidency is vacant, so that there is exceptionalism and unanimity in any decision taken by proxy on behalf of the President of the Republic, if it is a government with full powers.Therefore, any legislation in light of the presidential vacuum is a matter imposed by the utmost exceptional necessity. For whoever talks regarding the legislation of necessity must present it and justify the precedence of legislation over the election of the president in order to build on the thing that is required.”

And he believed that “the caretaker government’s refusal to intervene in the catastrophic scene of the decomposition of the lira is the dark flip side of the contradictory circulars issued by the governor of the Central Bank, which is tantamount to a described theft of people’s money, and bleeding of depositors’ money that is increased by discretionary money transfers abroad, and it still exists.” By leaps and bounds”.

He pointed out that “this silence on the part of the government on the performance of the governor of the Central Bank in robbing the savings and deposits of the Lebanese people puts them in the position of complicity and eliminates any possibility of restoring lost confidence in the banking sector. The contradictory Central Bank circulars also put the commercial bank in front of depositors in robbing them of their money in dollars, starting with, and in Lebanese pounds.” Recently”.

In the context, the conglomerate stressed that “the government’s failure to deal with the acute financial crisis increases the suffering of the Lebanese, and threatens to deplete what is left of life in the public sector, in which employees find themselves unable to go to their jobs due to their inability even to secure a transportation allowance.” While the government is watching. On crises, we see its president rushing to issue decisions that violate the law, such as placing first-class employees at the disposal of the prime minister.

He concluded: “The conglomerate stresses the need to resume the investigation into the crime of bombing the port. It warns of the existence of a plan to abort the investigation and make the perpetrators unknown. It stresses that justice is achieved exclusively by revealing who introduced the ammonium nitrate and the method of its explosion or detonation in order to prosecute those involved and put an end to the policy of evasion from justice.” .
