Al-Jumhuriya newspaper quoted circles keeping pace with the ongoing governmental-judicial clash as asserting that “what is happening in the country in terms of chaos at all levels suggests that political officials have lost control and lost the initiative, and have become in the position of receiving and reacting, and are unable to make any positive difference.” “.
The circles noted, “The free fall of the country is exacerbating, and the stage of weightlessness is expanding, while the decision-makers do not know what awaits them and do not know how they will act when the incident occurs, and this explains the confusion in the pattern of dealing with files.”
These circles indicated that, regardless of whether Judge Ghada Aoun’s decisions are valid or not, what was issued by the caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, and the Interior Minister, Bassam Al-Mawlawi, in terms of stopping her hand from pursuing banks was not successful, because it reflects the interference of the executive authority in the affairs of the judiciary, in addition to He also put security leaders in an awkward position, especially since the Europeans are monitoring the situation, and the European judicial delegation that had previously visited Beirut is preparing to return to it soon to complete the investigation of cases related to the Governor of the Banque du Liban, Riad Salameh, and some banks.
The circles wondered: “How will Salama be able to continue to perform his duties following he became an official defendant by Judge Raja Hamoush on charges of money laundering and embezzlement?”
He pointed out that all the influential political forces are still stuck on the tree of their declared positions on the presidential election, and unless they all abandon them to elect the President of the Republic, the rolling collapse will continue, which will take a different form each time, but its roots remain one and striking in the arid land of Shughour.
In the meantime, the fourth cabinet session that Prime Minister Najib Mikati will call for today is no longer the event. In a country whose roads all lead to chaos, who is present and who is absent, the question has become secondary, because what is important is what the cabinet will do and what it can do.
The session, according to government sources told Al-Jumhuriya, has become more than urgent to approve a set of emergency financial and monetary items, the most important of which is the disbursement of transportation allowances to the public sector and the educational sector, in addition to other items. It will be held early Monday, and it was not known whether the extension item for the Director General of Public Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim, would be included in its agenda. According to the information, the committee consisting of five judges to study the legal exit has not finished its work yet, and it has found that dropping the deadlines does not apply to Major General Ibrahim, and it has promised to hand over the study to Mikati within 24 hours.
However, a source following the file revealed to Al-Jumhuriya that the study has ended and includes the legal way out that applies to Ibrahim’s case, but the political decision does not shade it yet due to several considerations and calculations that each side benefits from its contradictions.
And the source added: “In a country where politics and the judiciary have intertwined to the point of madness, and in which abuses and the beating of powers are riding high waves, is there any sane person who stops at legal chastity with a decision like this that affects a security apparatus at this level of sensitivity, and leaves his head empty while security The country is on the verge of a demon?
