It was reported in the online newspaper Al-Anbaa:
The world is anxiously awaiting the developments of the crisis on the Russian-Ukrainian border, where the indications and possibilities of war are greater than attempts to curb it. As for Lebanon, which is burdened with crises, the fears may not be less than the fears on the international scene, especially since the international concern will focus on what is happening in Eastern Europe, and the Lebanese will find themselves left more to their destiny, which makes officials in front of a double duty to focus on what helps in facing the internal crisis. And avoid the repercussions of what might happen at any moment externally, whether in Ukraine or in Vienna, and the consequences thereof.
In light of all this, this week for the Lebanese is filled with a number of stations, including the legislative session scheduled for today and tomorrow, the agenda of which is of great importance, as well as the issue of the claim submitted by Judge Ghada Aoun once morest the Director General of the Internal Security Forces, Major General Imad Othman, and the referral of the case before the first investigative judge In Mount Lebanon, Nicolas Mansour, Othman refused to appear before him because there was no permission from the Minister of the Interior allowing Aoun to summon Othman.
With the clarification of the political-electoral backgrounds behind the claim once morest Othman, and the attempt to market the governor of the Banque du Liban, Riad Salameh, in disguise at the request of Judge Aoun, a wave of rejection interacts in Sunni circles and within the Future Movement with attempts to target Major General Othman, who see in summoning Othman as a step within a scheme pushing towards him. Both the President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, and the Head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, took revenge for the so-called political Harirism, according to what the future sources indicated through the electronic “al-anbaa”, describing what is happening as “an orgy once morest the law”, and considered that what Judge Aoun is doing is “similar to a robbery.” on institutions.”
The sources asked: “By what right is Othman being charged, who fulfilled his legal duties from the principle of law enforcement, so he is rewarded with the logic of gangs in fulfillment of the wishes of a police regime? And if the Covenant’s desire was to liquidate political Hariri, as his media cheered, “it is long on their neck,” political Hariri did not It is neither sectarian nor sectarian, and it is not a puritanical group for trafficking in sects and religions.It is present in all of Lebanon and is an essential pillar in building the Lebanese state whose diaspora gathered the martyr Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and consolidated by Prime Minister Saad Hariri.The Future Bloc includes representatives from all Lebanon and all sects and is far away. About hatred and repentance, as the Free Patriotic Movement-Hezbollah does in order to transform the country into their own institution and not others, which is indicated by launching marches in the south and settling accounts internally, whether once morest Riad Salameh or once morest Imad Othman,” considering that “the Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi will not allow Major General Othman to appear before the judiciary.”
The constitutional and legal expert, Professor Said Malik, asked regarding the reasons behind the targeting of the security and military institutions at this time, and who benefits from the weakening of state institutions. In an interview with the electronic “al-Anbaa”, he considered that “the Appeals Public Prosecutor, Judge Ghada Aoun, was supposed to wait instead of taking such steps. From a legal point of view, the Appeals Public Prosecutor can file a lawsuit once morest whomever he sees, but we have to predict that the prosecution is once morest the Director General of the Security Forces.” The Interior Ministry requires the permission of the good authority, the Minister of Interior, according to Article 61 of the Personnel Law promulgated under No. 112 on 59, which imposes an obligation to obtain permission from the Minister of Interior if it is Major General Othman or any other employee. First, it is a flaw and doubt, and the second is the possibility of surrounding this conflict,” he said, estimating the existence of a political background behind what is happening.
Member of the Future Bloc, MP Muhammad Al-Hajjar, repeated through the electronic “al-anbaa” that “President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, left his position as head of state and as an arbitrator between the authorities to become the head of a political movement that has an electoral problem and his influence declined when the mask fell on him and revealed the truth and falsehood of his slogans,” considering that the President of the Republic today “He uses the authorities in his hands and pressure to revive this trend. After the Aounist movement’s attempts to fly the elections have failed so far, convinced of the reality of its declining popular reality, it resorts today, through decisions, to prosecutions led by Judge Ghada Aoun, under the direct guidance of the President of the Republic, to show the covenant and the current that it is still in control. On the one hand, and on the other hand, the current and its leader are anticipating any subsequent vacuum that they can work on in institutions that they consider to be pliant in their own hands to create the conditions for replacing those in charge of them with others from his team And the last of this series conspiring once morest the country and its institutions was the decision to prosecute Major General Othman for obstructing the prosecution of the Governor of the Banque du Liban, Riad Salameh. The ISF and its director are a good example. And it confirms to everyone, day following day, the extent of its ability to pursue security violators.”
On another line, follow-up sources have played down the possibility of completing the process of extracting electricity from Jordan, as promised a few days ago by the Jordanian Minister of Energy. The sources indicated via the electronic “al-Anbaa” that the reasons for the delay are the lack of progress in negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, which paid the cost of repairing faults on the supply lines on the southern border in Daraa governorate, which were damaged by the war in Syria and were repaired without paying the costs. The sources pointed out that the energy ministers in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan are studying ways to secure this amount, provided that the transfer of electricity from Jordan through Syria to Lebanon will begin at the end of next March.
