جعجع: لانتخابات رئاسية بالطريقة الديمقراطية وليس بالتسوية
Read this story in English
أكد رئيس حزب "القوات اللبنانية" سمير جعجع أنه من الضروري إجراء الانتخابات رئاسية "بالشكل الديمقراطي وليس بالتسوية"، مردفاً أننا "مستمرون للنهاية".
وأشار جعجع في مؤتمر صحافي عقب انتهاء جلسة انتخاب الرئيس، الأربعاء، الى أن "ما حصل اليوم هو إنتصار كبير وبعضهم حاول تشويه هذا الإنتصار بتصرفات غير مسؤولة".
وأشار الى أن "الفرقاء اللبنانيين تفاهموا في آخر الإنتخابات الرئاسية ولكن أتى التفاهم بعد أحداث أمنية، وجعلت قوى 14 آذار الإنتخابات الرئاسية تبدأ في لبنان".
وأوضح جعجع أنه كان هناك فريق يحمل مشروع لبنان والوطن والدولة وذاهب بكل قوته لمحاولة ترجمته ولو على حساب خسارته. وكان هناك فريق آخر يتصرف كأن البلد ليس بلده، متسائلاً " هل تحددت الإنتخابات بالأمس؟ لماذا الفريق الآخر غير جاهز؟ لأنه لا يريد إجراء إنتخابات رئاسية سيما وأنه قام بأفعال مقززة اليوم واستخدم الشهداء في معاركه؟"
ورأى أن ما حصل هو محاولة لتعطيل الإنتخابات والإستحقاق الرئاسي ليحصل ما يحصل دوما، و"لكن هذه المرة الأمر مختلف وستحصل إنتخابات رئاسية".
وهنأ جعجع الشعب اللبناني وقوى 14 آذار بالخطوة التي حصلت اليوم، موضحا اننا "سنكمل في محاولات أخرى".
وشدد على "عدم الذهاب الى تسوية في الإنتخابات الرئاسية"، موضحا أن "هذا المنطق الديمقراطي ووسائل التعطيل كثيرة ولكن لن نعود إلى ما حصل في السنوات السابقة والإتفاق على رئيس في غرف مغلقة وفرضه رئيسا على اللبنانيين".
وكان جعجع أشار خلال مواكبته جلسة الإنتخاب من معراب، الأربعاء، الى ان الجو لحد الآن لا بأس به أبدا وبدأنا نرى انتخابات طبيعية، متمنياً ان "يكون للفريق الآخر مرشح لتكون الانتخابات طبيعية".
وأضاف أنه "لا يمكن للفريق الآخر الا ان يتصرف بطريقة جدية"، موضحاً أنه " للمرة الأولى منذ زمن طويل الانتخابات الرئاسية في لبنان لبنانية وجديّة أنا مسرور بهذا الأمر والنتائج على الله".
وشدد جعجع على ضرورة التواصل مع جميع الأفرقاء و"لكن الاهم ان تحصل الانتخابات بجدية"، لافتا الانتباه الى أن فريق14 آذار "فتح المجال لأول مرة منذ عشرات السنين" لكي تكون الانتخابات جدية مثلما نرى اليوم".
يشار الى أن النواب فشلوا في انتخاب رئيس جديد للجمهورية في الدورة الاولى للجلسة الانتخابية، الأأربعاء، حيث المعركة تركزت بين مرشح 14 آذار، رئيس "حزب القوات اللبنانية" سمير جعجع، ومرشح "اللقاء الديمقراطي" النائب هنري حلو، و"الورقة البيضاء".
ومع فرز أصوات النواب الـ124 الذين حضروا الجلسة الانتخابية، فازت "الورقة البيضاء" بـ52 صوتاً، مقابل 48 لجعجع و16 لحلو وصوت واحد لرئيس "حزب الكتائب" أمين الجميل. في حين تم الغاء 7 أصوات.
ودعا رئيس مجلس النواب نبيه بري الى جلسة انتخاب الأربعاء المقبل.

Respect Mr Geagea. Through your methods you have clearly raised the bar in Lebanese politics. As I have said over and over regardless of the outcome the benchmark is now set in Lebanese politics to at least show an announce of respect to our beloved country in treating the presidential post with due respect. God bless you sir.

slash, that Aoun tried to fight the Syrians and fled at the end to save his own life is not in dispute. But to compare one act to the many many crimes Geagea has committed against Christian, Muslim and Druze is ludicrous. Furthermore, while is disliked by his opponents I do not think his election would cause even 1% of the outrage and anger the election of Geagea would. Its possible you underestimate the hate he engenders in so much of the Lebanese population; So much so that his election would very much endanger the country and any future it may have.

Ziad, although one can sense that the sabotaging process of Lebanon remains in full force, yet, today since it seems that we are entering another period of stagnation and endless dead-ends, we may well end up having no other choices but either accept that neither Geagea nor Aoun stand much chance at being elected, hence, either we opt for other potential candidates like Demyanos Kattar, or Ziad Baroud, or end up having another military top brass take over the reins of power. The word deadlock is now written all over the wall, and I wonder if our economy could sustain one more blow.

Ziad the civil war is behind us and both arguments are null and void and evidentially have no place in the scope of modern day lebanon. All sides experienced death torture and displacement. If we persist in going down this path yet again each and every za3im should serve time in prison. To simply tow the M8 line of one crime was worse than the other clearly holds little credibility. If however we truely want to move forward we must embrace our future and act with dignity to ensure those past deaths were not in vain. Sadly however it has been proven that M8 through their empty words and dishonourable methods care little about our future and more about their self interests.

forces, as I said above, you severely underestimate the hate there is for this man in the country.
Those that feel this do not do so because he was a zaim in the civil war or because he is as guilty of torture or death. They do so because his crimes were far more brutal and far more vicious than any other zaim. You may not agree. You may feel its time to let the past be in the past.
That is unfortunately irrelevant.
What is relevant is how a good many Lebanese feel about him. You may see this as 'toeing the m8 line; but that is also irrelevant as it does not change the way people feel about him and would not change even if m8 accepted him

Mama Al Fanik Maarouf, this is a handkerchief to wipe off your sweat, you're trying very hard now, for lack of intelligence.

Every MP who voted with a blank (white paper) voted for vacuum. Aoun and his allies had every chance to show the civilized world their commitment to the democratic process, but they failed miserably. Aoun admitted in a press conference following the first round, he boycotted the second round and thus no quorum.

Geagea has accomplished his purpose. Rather than cancellation after cancellation of the Presidential vote, there was a vote. There is no disgrace in not accumulating the necessary vote to win. No one expected Geagea to pull 82 votes required in a first vote. But the process was vindicated and now in the second round, a simply majority of 62 of the 124 seats, 4 are apparently vacant. The process, which was dead, is now alive and a Lebanese choice is now possible. Geagea's mission is accomplished.

Expect Hezbollah to vote for Aoun as long as Aoun cannot get to 62 votes, and of course, he cannot. He is as polarizing a political figure as Geagea. This has been known and the vote in Parliament has established the fact. 48 for Geagea 50 for Aoun, neither get to 82 or even 62. It will take a Maronite who is a consensus builder, a bridge builder who has the confidence of all sides. Iran will not have much interest in the outcome as is position in Lebanon has solidified with the reach Hezbollah now has in the country.

Yes he will. With an iron fist at it too. Which I don't mind. That's the only way we understand.

texas hence why berri didnt dare to call for a second round because it was possible for march 14 to also vote for helou and spite march 8! junblat is one smart politician!

Roar once again your assessment falls short of it's mark. White papers = pressure. Having a unified M 14 means M 8 must now nominate an acceptable made in lebanon candidate one of M14's approval if they want any chance of securing their man. Unless of course a car bomb should accidentally explode.
