The election of a new president for the Lebanese Republic constitutes an important step in reorganizing the work of state institutions, in particular the institution of the Council of Ministers, which was transformed after the Taif Agreement (which became the country’s constitution) in real executive authority that takes decisions on the management of the work of state institutions and political, financial and economic affairs. Services and life of citizens at all levels, which have made the Council of Ministers a decision-making company.. Without elect a president for the country, it is not possible to appoint a new president to form a new government and the current outgoing government will continue to conduct business within narrow limits, which means it will not be able to meet and make decisions. issues, and therefore the election of a new president for the republic is a necessity and an urgent need that cannot be postponed.
However, it is known that the election of a new President of the Republic has always been the subject of conflict between the Lebanese parties over his identity, whether he enjoys independence from external interference, has a clear position on the conflict with the Zionist enemy, supports the resistance against the occupation, is not hostile to sister Syria and maintains distinct relations with it, as stipulated. The constitution of Taif, or will be a president subject to and subservient to Western American and foreign dictates and is subject to buying and selling … and therefore he opposes resistance and fraternal relations with Syria …
After the withdrawal of Syrian Arab forces from Lebanon, Washington and Western capitals, through its affiliated parties in Lebanon, moved to remove President General Emile Lahoud from the Baabda Palace forcing him to resign because he could not be subdued or abandon his position in support of the resistance, but they failed and President Lahoud finished his term to the end. One day, he played an important role in protecting the resistance’s back, and was its partner in achieving its victories and protecting these victories from attempts to bankrupt it, and refuses to turn Lebanon into a poisoned dagger in Syria’s side, and is enthusiastic about fraternal relations with it…
However, after President Michel Suleiman was elected on the grounds that he would represent a consensus approach among all Lebanese and would not stab the resistance in the back. However, this was not achieved, and it soon became clear that the sided with the March 14 forces and their anti-resistance tendencies and relations with Syria, which he translated through He described the golden equation “the army, the people and the resistance” as “the equation of wood”…!
Therefore, after the end of President Suleiman’s term, the resistance and the national team agreed to veto the election of any president whose identity and positions on the resistance and Syria are unclear, and his decision translated in the adoption of the candidacy and election of President Michel Aoun, known for his independence and positions in support of the resistance during the July war… and despite all external pressure exerted to prevent the election of President Aoun, the resistance and its allies insisted that they had not accepted the election of any president other than General Michel Aoun, and this is what happened. Lebanese president Al as he wishes.. Today we are faced with the election of a new president, after the end of President Aoun’s mandate, and before the same task facing the resistance and its allies, which is the election of a leader of Lebanese industry, known for its identity, its patriotism, its support for the resistance, its distinct relations with Syria, its independence and its reluctance to submit to external dictates. It is clear that the decision of the resistance and its allies was clearly embodied in the conditions announced by the Secretary General of Hezbollah, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and embodied in the election of a president who reassures the resistance and does not stab it in the back, nor is it subject to external pressure and cannot be bought nor is it sold, and this means that the American team must know in advance that, however long it takes, there will be no president who does not have these characteristics, and that the moment in which a president was elected in line with external will has passed, because there is a Lebanese national will, it has its large presence and representation, and it will not allow that to happen, as it happened with the election of President Aoun , despite external pressures, and for this reason there will be no election of a new president if his identity and affiliation are not clear, he is not bought or sold, he does not backstab the resistance and he is not hostile to the brotherhood. , the lung from which Lebanon breathes.. especially since the resistance and its deterrent equations, which are supported by the equation of army, people, resistance and the official national position, just managed to win a new victory represented in wresting Lebanon’s rights in indirect negotiations to delimit maritime borders without making any concessions, either in form or content, to the Zionist enemy and its sponsor, the United States of America. In light of the era of resistance and its victories, it is no longer possible for America, the West and their affiliated forces to find a president hostile to the resistance and demand his disarmament in the service of the enemy, “Israel”. Y.. This is what is required of a Lebanese industrial leader who expresses the independent national will, free from foreign domination and supporter of the resistance and its golden equation that has liberated the land and protected Lebanon from aggression and ambitions Zionists.
