The repercussions of the cabinet meeting still interact between populism and political score-settling, but according to insiders the contacts succeeded to a certain extent in stopping sectarian unrest and political escalation, especially as contacts were made at the highest levels for this purpose with Bkerki , and expects that after the return of the Maronite patriarch Beshara Al-Rai from Jordan, things calm down more, in the light of a visit by the interim prime minister, Najib Mikati, to the patriarchal building to put the patriarch in the atmosphere he has made it necessary to carry out this government session, not to mention the contacts that took place between the Serail and the “Tashnak” party, praising its position that it took the national option in The shadow of what the country is going through, through the participation of the Minister of Industry George Boshkian in this session.
In this context, and on a parallel line, some political circles close to the “Progressive Socialist” Party and the “Adunata Democratica” have confirmed that what was said of a quadripartite alliance against the backdrop of what happened in the past few hours of the ministerial session, and the positions that surrounded it, this has nothing to do with the truth, and there is no quartet or five-party alliance, etc. this session, but the party is open to all political and partisan forces, including those who boycotted the session, because dialogue is necessary and considered urgent at this stage, despite the discrepancies and disagreements on many dossiers.
On the other hand, he reports that the interim prime minister, Najib Mikati, brings an integrated dossier on the Lebanese political and economic situation with him to the Arab-Chinese summit, and tries during this conference to gain the support of the participants, especially those concerned for the Lebanese dossier. In conclusion, participating in this summit At this moment, and after the political and constitutional debate that accompanied the ministerial session, brings with it more than one indication that falls into the category of strengthening the government situation on the situation Arab and international levels, as evidenced by Mikati’s participation in this event, which led to blocking the way for the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, the deputy Gebran Bassil and the President of the Republic, the former Michel Aoun, against the background of what was done in recent days hinder the return of the cabinet to hold its sessions, in addition to presidential signals that these position oni bring in relation to the ongoing conflict on the line Ain al-Tineh-Mirna Chalouhi, and what is between them, the founder of the “orange movement”.
A political reference has described the current scene with what happened in the year 1989, when the famous Richard Murphy deal was blown up, which almost brought former minister and deputy Mikhael Al-Daher to the presidency of the republic, and from here, the President Aoun and Basil is trying to hinder the settlement which could lead the army commander, General Joseph Aoun, or the head of the Marada movement, the former deputy Suleiman Franjieh, to reach the Baabda palace.
Thus, these political and populist maneuvers petered out, as they received no coverage from allies of President Aoun and the “Free Patriotic Movement”, nor internationally, as Mikati’s participation in an international-Arab summit confirmed the constitutionality and the legitimacy of the government, even if in a state of expropriation, Mikati will instead try, in the coming days, to eliminate any ambiguity on what was said about the last session, in the sense that he will have a role at the level through meetings, contacts and consultations with all Christian components, with the aim of blocking the way for those who have tried to overcome populism through sectarian positions, and this is what the next few days will demonstrate.
