It was stated in “Central”:
On the ropes of US President Joe Biden’s visit to the region as of tomorrow, starting his tour from Israel, and what it might end up with, and the Russian-Turkish-Iranian summit announced today in Tehran on the 19th, i.e. shortly following the end of the US tour and Biden’s participation in the Gulf summit And the secretions of the two stations, the Lebanese governmental and presidential file fluctuates. And if the formation was just an illusion to fill the lost time until the beginning of September, then the presidential election is the goal and the basic building block for saving Lebanon from its inferno, and on these results the fate and identity of the occupant of Baabda Palace for the next six years will be determined, a president of challenge or understanding and settlement.
Inside, the presidency is surrounded by fog and ambiguity, although on the outside it is conducting “examinations” for those who might be qualified. The rapid developments, from the failure of the nuclear negotiations in Vienna to the attempts to revive them in Doha, the division of axes internationally between Washington and Moscow, and the intensification of the conflict on the regional stage, are all factors that made the battle larger and more distant from the internal players whose role has become almost non-existent, even those who consider themselves the strongest, and the presidential election will not What is not nurtured and blessed by an international-Arab understanding that is not currently available in light of the lack of balance and the equivalence of the new equations is crystallizing. So where are the situations heading and how will the stage be managed without an actual government, and what if a president is not elected and the country enters once more into a burning presidential vacuum in light of a worn out situation and a country collapsing at all levels?
Well-informed political sources tell Al Markaziya, pending the emergence of the international and regional picture and its reflection on Lebanon and determining its position between the two axes, the most important thing remains for the officials not to watch what is happening without moving. Daily from the beginning of next September until the election of a president. And while he confirmed that he would invite the session to the beginning of September in response to the call of the Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Mar Beshara Boutros Al-Rahi, who refuted in his sermon last Sunday the specifications supposed to be available in the person who will occupy the chair of Baabda, but directing them on a daily basis remains the most important, to urge the political forces to perform This is a constitutional duty and not to be complacent in light of the collapse and the accumulated and reproductive crises. The presidential vacuum will inevitably be very severe and possibly fatal.
In this context, visitors to Ain al-Tineh quoted President Nabih Berri as saying that he is able to fill the political vacuum that has occurred by not forming a new government. And they consider that his meeting with the head of the Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, in Ain al-Tineh, which is the first in three months, confirms the continuation of the alliance between them, despite the difference in the issue of forming the government. A month and a half, before the start of the two-month deadline to elect a President of the Republic. Therefore, attention must be paid to the presidential election, because it is the gateway to resolving the crisis.
The political sources see Berri’s position as a reflection of the ongoing confrontation between him and the Covenant and his political team, which is on the rise. The electoral binary between Hezbollah – Amal and the Free Patriotic Litarian. The results of the ballot boxes confirmed that the movement’s supporters did not vote for the movement’s candidates in all regions. She adds: Berri’s relationship with the head of the current is tense, and the efforts made by the party have not achieved any progress. Therefore, Berri stands behind Mikati in his positions on the formation, and he is never willing to be lenient in the presidential file, even if things reached their limit. The election of Representative Gibran Bassil as president is one of the seventh impossible for him, and running the country with the caretaker prime minister is a thousand times better for him than Bassil’s arrival in Baabda and the repetition of the “bad era” experience.
