“Lebanese Debate” – Fadi Eid
According to reliable information, it is reported that the visit of the head of the Progressive Socialist Party and some of his deputies to Maarab falls within the framework of consultations about the next stage, and he thanked the leader of the “Lebanese Forces” Dr. Samir Geagea for congratulating him on the presidency. It is noteworthy here that the meetings were interrupted between the two parties for a long time, as the meetings of the former president of the party, Walid Jumblatt, and the head of the forces were absent, after Jumblatt the father blinked more than once from the “Forces” and Maarab channel, and this dispute was due to the election law and other matters, even if there was an intersection. In their candidacy for each of the representative Michel Moawad and later the former minister Jihad Azour.
As for the question, will the performance of Representative Taymour Jumblatt with the “forces” be different from that of his father? Here, it is too early to delve into these issues, awaiting what the efforts of the French presidential envoy, Jean-Yves Le Drian, will lead to on the presidential line. Will the “Democratic Gathering” remain in place alongside the opposition, or will it be located in another place, if the necessities of the stage require that? Especially in the framework of the return of communication and coordination with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, in the sense that will the “Democratic Gathering” elect the head of the “Marada” movement, Suleiman Franjieh, even if through some deputies?
Consequently, this given is linked to securing an Arab cover and within the framework of the settlement, and what Le Drian could reach in September, i.e. agreement on a single name through an international-regional settlement, otherwise the Socialist Party cannot risk without any cover and international and Arab consensus, as well as on internal level.
From this point of view, the head of the new Progressive Party will continue his meetings and tours with all political parties without exception, and perhaps “Hezbollah”, but this does not enter, through these tours, within the framework of establishing political alliances, but rather within the consultation so that the alliance is as it was. On March 14, but through the favorable international, regional and Arab moment. Against this background, the Socialist Party and the “Democratic Gathering” are today, according to some deputies and those close to Timor, in the middle position, and they will not depart from it in such critical circumstances, provided that the political path that Jumblatt Jr. will take becomes clear in the next stage, as it did not Details yet to be known.
In other words, at some stations it becomes clear that there are different points of view between Jumblatt, the father and the son. To this end, all possibilities exist regarding which direction the party and the “Democratic Gathering” will take, bearing in mind that there is interaction in the relationship with the “Free Patriotic Movement”, meaning that the socialist party will not limit its alliances with a specific Christian group or other parties.
