انقضاء الشهر التاسع بعملية تأليف الحكومة و"8 آذار" تنتظر كلمة الحريري

Read this story in English W460

تستمر المفاوضات الحثيثة والشاقة بين رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان، رئيس الحكومة المكلف تمام سلام والأفرقاء السياسيين بشأن تشكيل حكومة جديدة، وذلك في ظل خمسة أسئلة توجه بها "تيار المستقبل" بشأن عملية التأليف وانتظار قوى 8 آذار كلمة حاسمة من رئيس التيار عينه سعد الحريري عن موافقته على مشاركة "حزب الله" في الحكومة".

وفي هذا السياق، اشارت صحيفة "الحياة" في عددها الصادر الخميس، الى أن "موقف كتلة "المستقبل" النيابية في بيان مطلبها السابق بدعوة رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان ورئيس الحكومة المكلف تمام سلام الى تشكيلة من غير الحزبيين، لا يقفل الباب على مواصلة البحث بوساطة رئيس "جبهة النضال الوطني" النيابية وليد جنبلاط بالتنسيق مع رئيس مجلس النواب نبيه بري في صيغة الحكومة الجامعة".

ولفتت الى أن "قيادة "المستقبل" كانت طرحت خمسة أسئلة تتعلق بما إذا كان فريق 8 آذار سيصر على تسمية "وزير ملك" يتفق على اسمه مع سليمان الذي يفترض أن يكون الوزير الشيعي الخامس من حصته في تركيبة الـ8-8-8، وإذا كان سيترك لسليمان وسلام حرية تسمية الوزراء وتوزيع الحقائب أم ان الأمر سيخضع للأخذ والرد بحيث يتأخر تأليف الحكومة مجدداً، كما عن مدى الاستعداد للقبول بالتخلي عن معادلة "الجيش والشعب والمقاومة" في البيان الوزاري للحكومة لمصلحة التأكيد على "إعلان بعبدا" بتحييد لبنان والنأي بالنفس عن التدخل في سورية".

وفي السياق نفسه، أكدت مصادر مواكبة لـ"النهار"، الخميس، أن "قوى 8 آذار تنتظر كلمة حاسمة من رئيس تيار "المستقبل" سعد الحريري عن موافقته على مشاركة "حزب الله" في الحكومة وقالت ان ثمة معطيات ان فريق 14 آذار سيأخذ بعض الوقت في التشاور بين اطراف التحالف وخصوصاً مع القوى المسيحية قبل ان تتضح طبيعة تعامله مع الوساطات الجارية".

وتتمحور حركة الاتصالات حول الاتفاق على صيغة توزيع الحقائب بشكل متساوٍ بين قوى 8 و14 آذار والوسطيين، بمعدل ثمانية وزراء لكل فريق، مع تعديل على الصيغة التي طرحها رئيس البرلمان نبيه بري، من غير الكشف عنها، قائلا إنها "تدوير للزوايا".

وأنهى الرئيس المكلف أمس الشهر التاسع على تكليفه تشكيل الحكومة اللبنانية، بعد استقالة رئيس حكومة تصريف الأعمال نجيب ميقاتي. وكان سلام وافق على صيغة 8-8-8 لتأليف الحكومة المقترحة من جنبلاط، بينما تمسكت قوى 8 آذار بصيغة تسعة وزراء لها، وتسعة وزراء لقوى 14 آذار، وستة وزراء للوسطيين الذين يمثلهم سليمان وسلام وجنبلاط.

ويتولى بري، و جنبلاط، المساعي الهادفة إلى الوصول إلى صيغة حكومية ترضي جميع الأطراف، وفق الصيغة الجديدة التي طرحها بري.

وفي هذا السياق، قال مفوض الإعلام في الحزب التقدمي الاشتراكي رامي الريس لـصحيفة "الشرق الأوسط" إن "خطوط الاتصالات مفتوحة مع سليمان و سلام، وبري وحزب الله وتيار المستقبل، وسائر الفرقاء".

As I said no government!!!!
our leaders do not know what compromise means for the sake of the nation

@ coolmec

There is an agreement on the table ... It is now up to Hariri to decide between Lebanon and the KSA jihad on Hezbollah and the Shia in general.

I hope the agreement will go through. the country needs a government, one that can tackle the tremendous challenges facing Lebanon. I just hope these politicians we have will unite for Lebanon's sake

Nope Hariri is not my friend. As a matter of fact none of the Lebanese politicians is my friend, no need....

Thumb lebanon_first 08:42 ,2014 كانون الثاني 09

This is the test for Hariri. What is more important for him. Revenge? Or Lebanon?
If he accepts to compromise, he will be thinking of the millions of Lebanese who have families and businesses in Lebanon.
If he doesn't accept, be will be putting Lebanon in the line of fire of regional conflicts.
I would understand his non compromising. But he has to think of the Lebanese.

"If he doesn't accept, be will be putting Lebanon in the line of fire of regional conflicts. "

what about hezbollah? they already put lebanon into the syrian conflict by not obeying the baabda declaration... it is not hariri fighting in syria...

Peace. HA already put Lebanon in the line of fire of regional conflicts. times and times again. But we are not discussing HA. I expect more patriotism from Saad.

Missing peace 18:05 ,2014 كانون الثاني 09

the ONLY solution to get lebanon out of this mess is to appoint technocrats and experts that are not affiliated with a party! otherwise any side will again block the other as usual....so we ll return to square one...
but of course M8ers cannot accept this, they need their gang in power...

Hariri and Geagea must withdraw their forces from Qusayr, Aleppo, and all other Syrian territories otherwise they will be putting Lebanon in the line of fire of regional conflicts.

I wonder what happened to the 9-9-6 arrangement that Hassan Nasrallah said "Accept now better for you". Hizb of terror must act as a civil political party before it is included in any government lineup.

Unfortunately you are right. I have never seen the country so polarized M8 or M14 pro Assad or anti Assad. The society is so polarized to the point where Lebanese national interests are relegated to the back burner

There should be no so-called government of National Unity, we should at cost avoid falling into this trap. Such a government is here only to serve the interest of a few M8 parties, procrastination will return with a vengeance if this was to happen. The only government from now on will be one in where Mr. Salam forms his reduced cabinet comprised entirely of technocrats and not affiliated to anyone M, be it 8 or 14. Let Hariri be clear on this. The issue is now well past the interest of a few M8 leaning parties, we are now talking a an entire nation about to sink permanently.

Thumb beiruti 15:38 ,2014 كانون الثاني 09

It is all quite Orwellian. The M8 have threatened to go to the street and blow up the country if Sleiman and Salaam were to propose a "fait accompli" government. However, the 8-8-8 formula proposed by M8 is exactly that, a fait accompli government. Even if it were proposed and adopted, even numbers means that it is prone to being locked in 50-50 ties on any decision. In any event, it is actually the 996 formula by a different name since M14 and M8 each get a "decisive" member of the "neutral" 8. It is a formula to formalize Hezbollah's control of the State and its institutions, a fait accompli.

@Southern : I thought you were against sectarianism ? Oh I'm wrong ... that's what you say when in fact you are a racist just like those sunni extremists...

Your politicians, just like M14 are incapable of governing our country. Grow out of it. You don't give the keys to our country to street kids who grew up to become mafias and terrorist leaders.

Thumb FlameCatcher 17:30 ,2014 كانون الثاني 09

Then accept a non-sectarian government made up of technocrats. This means, professionals in their respective fields who are capable of tackling issues such as electricity, education, tourism, economy and such. Issues our politicians are incapable of even addressing.

You want change ? It starts by rendering our political parties useless and irrelevant. It's starts by calling the the emergence of a new political class. Not by defending our current set of corrupt politicians who are all either mafias or warlords or terrorists.

And please look at today's youth who does not care neither for Hezbollah nor for Mustaqbal, Geagea or Aoun.

All these people behind the #NotAMartyr campaign, the SILENT MAJORITY are telling all of the politicians to F Off ! and so am I. And so should you.

Hezbollah cannot bring anything good to the country. It's time you realise this.

Thumb FlameCatcher 21:54 ,2014 كانون الثاني 09

@Southern : and how do you go about that ? How do you abolish sectarian behavior ? it starts by abolishing differences. It starts by abolishing the weapons ! It starts with Hezbollah's weapons who are the main factor of differentiation and fear to their opponents. By banning the use of GOD in the name of your party. By removing a "Sheikh" from the head of your party.

Hezbollah is the main obstacle to a peaceful lebanon. There is no doubt about that. And no Zionist or Takfiri threat can excuse your behavior AND SECTARIANISM

All I can say is that I hope they will reach a fair and satisfactory compromise for everybody's sake. The country is in bad shape, the Lebanese people (silent majority) from all sects are suffering silently. We are very close to disintegration of the Lebanese fabric. As such I do hope they will reach consensus

Thumb -phoenix1 17:04 ,2014 كانون الثاني 09

Southern, though I respect your views, but I also find it hard to agree with them too. First, I believe it will be fair not to put into question Hariri's patriotism, but please my brother, let's be honest, how on earth can he return when his MP's and aides are being decimated one after the other? OK, and what about the Lebanese state, as recent as the beginning of the year when Al Shatat was killed, till now there are NO clues as to whom killed him, well, officially that is. Has it not yet occurred to you that this same treatment is given whenever an M14 figure gets killed? With all my respects to Sayed Hassan, is he not too in hiding, deep underground and never sleeping in the same bed twice? Then I don't know how you jumped from Greece to Italy all linked to sectarian dynamics there. Technocrats work, and the first cabinet that took over Omar Karame's administration in 2005 did a sterling job in such a time.

Thumb -phoenix1 17:08 ,2014 كانون الثاني 09

The truth ya Southern and please, let's call apples by their real names, Hezbollah is simply claustrophobic when anyone talks of a government which it cannot control or subjugate, and why? because Hezbollah feels that with all those strange things it is doing and keeps doing, it crucially needs rubber stamp people to oil its wishes unquestioningly. This is why HA illegally derailed two Hariri legit administrations and forced it into a forced marriage. Please Southern, let's be honest please, Hezbollah keeps using muscle till now, but there will come a time when muscle will mean nothing, do check on the Al Assad regime now, if it had to recalculate 3 years back, what it would do.
