It was stated in “Akhbar Al-Youm”:
“If they are able to collect 65 votes for their candidate, then we will enter into deeper Arab isolation, and the West will cross Lebanon off its list of priorities, and the internal administration of the country will be as we have witnessed it in the past six years. Then, will we be silent and go to the session? No, we will not act in this way. We will boycott.” naturally.”
A new position for the head of the Lebanese Forces party, Dr. Samir Geagea, is completely different from what the forces previously called for, in terms of its rejection of the obstruction method. Has the time of reciprocity begun?
The source of my forces indicated that this situation comes within its natural context, as the forces cannot remain in the same position and location for a long time.
And he explained through the “Akhbar Al-Youm” agency that the forces are committed to the constitution and the call for holding successive sessions to elect the President of the Republic, and they have repeated more than once that they will try to dismantle the majority of the other party if it succeeds in forming it one or two or three times, and after that there is no power or strength, but after Persistent obstruction The forces cannot remain in place, but it is obvious to change the position, as the forces will not be in the position in which they serve their opponent’s project.
The source pointed out that when the opponent finds that the conditions are conducive to delivering his candidate, he will ask the others to secure a quorum, while the Lebanese Forces gave a two-month deadline before the end of President Michel Aoun’s term and gave an opportunity of four months after the presidential vacancy, but what was true in the past summer and fall is not. It is correct today, and therefore we entered into a new equation, after the forces were given all the appropriate opportunities to elect a president of the republic, while the other party was and still is in the position of disrupting institutions.
Here, he was asked: Who will stand by putting forward the forces in disrupting the quorum? The source replied: The opposition in most of its components is in the same direction, specifically the 46 deputies who signed a petition refusing to attend any session of the House of Representatives that is not devoted to electing a president for the republic. He pointed out that there is a common position within the opposition, not against one candidate, but against the election of a president proposed by Hezbollah or the Shiite duo, because that means continuing the spiral of the crisis, stressing that it is not possible to continue with this logic that is far from the institutional logic.
The source reiterated the agreement between these components on the need to prevent the March 8 candidate from reaching Baabda Dam, because a president of this kind means extending the crisis for an additional six years.
