“Lebanese Debate”
After Lebanon has become a home to corruption and nepotism during the past three decades, the one who comes to it, especially during the summer season, will not be surprised by the illegally huge project that is taking place on the course of the historical “Nahr al-Kalb” and the distortion of the “virgin” environment of that region, on whose rock an exit was recorded. The last soldiers of the occupation.
Despite all the remarks and the resort of some ministers to warnings, those responsible for the “Palms the legends” project ignore the complaint submitted by the caretaker Minister of Culture, Muhammad Wissam al-Murtada, to the competent public prosecution to prosecute the perpetrators of the violations at the Nahr al-Kalb archaeological site, arrest them and remove the violations.
In addition to the letter of the Minister of Environment, Nasser Yassin, to the Minister of Energy and Water in the caretaker government, Walid Fayyad, about the project, in which he requested the need to immediately stop these works, remove the encroachments, and apply to the Ministry of Environment for a classification request for the aforementioned project in accordance with the provisions of Chapter Four of Law 444/2002 (Environmental Protection). And Decree No. 8633/2012 (Environmental Impact Assessment Principles), especially since the riverbed is classified as a natural site according to Ministry of Environment Resolution 1/97/1998, so that the necessary environmental study for the project can be determined and prepared by a specialized consulting office and reviewed by the Ministry of Environment before deciding on an application. Project license.
Even the Minister of Energy, who granted permission to the owners of the project to build a movable wooden bridge over the river, tried to clear himself, and confirmed in an audio recording to “Spot Shot” that “those responsible for the project did not abide by the license granted to them and committed violations.”
However, the paradox is that despite the complaint and media reports that confirmed the size and horror of the violation that violates an area classified as a “natural site”, the Malian Public Prosecutor, Ali Ibrahim, is still sleeping deeply about the interests of the state, while the Public Prosecutor of Mount Lebanon, Judge Ghada Aoun, who acknowledged the existence of the crime, gave them respite. Until the end of July to remove the violation, but waiting until the end of the month means that the violators achieved what they wanted, and reaped millions from exploiting state property and distorting the natural image of the region.
Even the Public Prosecutor of Cassation or the Judicial Inspection, none of them move to stop this blatant assault, as if the matter is not related to a Lebanese region, and their moral and professional duty calls on them to defend the state’s property against anyone who allows himself to tamper with it.
And it is not the only paradox in this file, as the deputies who were elected by the people to preserve their interests and the interests of their state disregard one violation, and seek after another. He closed his eyes to a violation the size of “Palms the legends” for the sake of the eyes of his companion who trained in the “forces” party, Shadi Fayyad, and his commercial state, not the resistance on Nahr al-Kalb, is a legitimate order in a decree that allows the loyalists to violate state property, to drop with him the slogan of fighting corruption and the project of states.
Even all the deputies of Keserwan, Jbeil, and Al-Matn played the role of the “three monkeys”, as they do not hear or see, and therefore they do not speak and allow their choice to improper public property.
These deputies are: Nehme Fram (Independent), Nada Al-Bustani (Free Patriotic Movement), Shawky Daccache (Lebanese Forces), Salim Al-Sayegh (Kataeb), Farid Al-Khazen (Independent), Raed Berro (Hezbollah), Simon Abi Ramia (Free Patriotic Movement), Ziad Hawat (Lebanese Forces), Melhem Al-Riyashi (Lebanese Forces), Sami El Gemayel (Brigade), Elias Hanaksh (Brigade), Ibrahim Kanaan (Free Patriotic Movement), Michel Murr (Independent), Hagop Pakradounian (Tashnak), Elias Bou Saab ( Free Patriotic Movement), Razi Al-Hajj (Lebanese Forces).
All of these people, with their various political persuasions, are today accused of complicity through their silence over the transgressions and negligence of the rights of the Lebanese people to visit this historical and natural area without the obligation to pass through a private company that prevents them from this natural right.
“Egypt’s watchdogs slept on their foxes” is the poetic verse of Al-Mutanabbi, which can be used to describe the state of officials, politicians, judges, and jurists who slept on the foxes of violations, so the foxes annihilated the clusters of goodness in Lebanon
