الفراغ "لن يدوم أكثر من شهرين" و"حراك مسيحي مرتقب" لمواجهته
Read this story in Englishالفراغ في سدة الرئاسة الاولى بات واقعاً مراً على اللبنانيين تجرّعه ما لم تحصل "عجيبة" في الساعات الاخيرة تبلور الرئيس الجديد للجمهورية، في ظل رفض الرئيس ميشال سليمان اي طرح لتمديد ولايته.
فالمشاورات واللقاءات السياسية بين مختلف الافرقاء محلياً وعربياً وفرنسياً لم تنجح في تقريب وجهات النظر والاتفاق على اسم واحد، وسط تمسك قوى 14 آذار بمرشحها رئيس "حزب القوات اللبنانية" سمير جعجع و"غياب" مرشح قوى 8 آذار، في ظل اصرار رئيس "تكتل التغيير والاصلاح" النائب ميشال عون على عدم خوض المعركة الانتخابية ما لم يتم التوافق عليه.
التخوّف من الفراغ، ينسحب ايضاً الى مدته، الا ان مصادر سياسية كشفت لصحيفة "النهار"، الاربعاء ان "الفراغ قد لا يطول نتيجة الضغوط الدولية أولا، وانقشاع الرؤية في بعض الملفات الاقليمية".
وتوقعت ان "تظهر بشائر حلول ابتداء من منتصف تموز المقبل وصولا الى منتصف آب".
ونقلت الصحيفة عن مصادر في قوى 14 آذار قولها "نحن ضد تسخيف الفراغ. والكلام على أن الحكومة متماسكة ويمكنها إدارة البلد وملء الفراغ وأن مجلس النواب يظل قادراً على التشريع للقضايا الطارئة لا يريح كثيراً".
وسط هذا التخوّف، كشفت صحيفة "السفير" عن حراك يتم تحضيره "في اوساط سياسية ومدنية قريبة من الكنيسة، لمواجهة اليوم الاول من الفراغ وما سيليه".
وفي ظل التكتم الذي يلف هذا الحراك، أكدت مصادر الصحيفة ان "الامور لن تمر مرور الكرام وكأن شيئا لم يكن".

Thank you Saudi Arabia for creating a vacuum in the Presidential post and for enabling your February 14 puppets to obstruct democracy. Lebanon will NEVER become a Saudi terrorist satellite state and Lebanese patriots everywhere will stand up to your evil schemes and terrorism.
Long live a free Lebanon! Long live a soverign Lebanon! Long live a democratic Lebanon!
Hello Karim... so let me see if I understand this correctly. M14 has a candidate, shows up for the vote and cast a ballet for their candidate. M8 makes noise about a candidate, shows up once and cast black ballets, runs off right away in order to break quorum and does not show up for the next 3 but M14 is the one obstruct democracy.
I do agree with your last line... so what are your thoughts on Iranian Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, who said that Iran’s line of defense now lies in South Lebanon?
“The rival parties will reach consensus in mid-July or August,” the sources expected... we will need to consult the_snore to see what his sources say, you know he is never wrong!!
The-Roar must have blisters on his fingers for posting more than 200 comments on 3 posts last night. He posted for 8 hours non stop at 5 minutes interval:) Poor soul
Keep on repeating:
Lebanese people always wanted to be part of the evolutionary modern world, please be my guest; in all countries of the modern world ,people have equal rights and that is a precondition to build a nation; unfortunately since the independence of Lebanon ,people were misled by corrupt feudals leaders backed by ignorant and hypocrits religious leaders; millions of Lebanese immigrated and hundreds of thousands were killed, and we are still counting.
popular vote for the presidency is the only way to stop outside interferences(iran, ksa , ....) and keep away sterile political parties debates and it will be made in Lebanon by Lebanese
god bless democracy (power to the people)
FT, Bachir and Rene proved themselves amply before being assassinated by the Syrians. The abjectivity of it all resides in a ruthless occupier that cannot tolerate any form of insubordination by any patriotic Lebanese and that is why no sooner than they raise their heads, they're gone. Don't you wonder why such people as Aoun remain alive, and comfortably so too?
None other to blame than Aoun and M8, his inability to appear as a "consentual" candidate because he's simply NOT !
M8 failed to present a candidate and is solely responsible for the situation.
Rumors say Aoun always was a Syrian agent at the service of the Assad even when he was supposedly fighting them.
Looking at the situation today, that does not surprise me...
not only rumors but people close to him and former advisors said it... his "liberation" war was in fact a revenge against assad who promised him the presidency but did not hand it to him LOL
Clearly neither the Sunni's of Lebanon nor the Shia's are interested in having the Presidential post filled otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation. "the post will be filled sometime in July/August"... what a miserable joke! I wonder how 'ok' it would be if the premier's post or that of the speaker was left vacant. March 8, 14 or whatever you call yourselves these days are propaganda machines that are playing out regional and global agendas. Nothing is funnier than the statement these parrots whisper 'A President Made in Lebanon'. What makes it so sad is how everyone on this forum seems to believe they need to swear allegiance to one or the other like robots.
M8 AND M14 are preventing Lebanon and the Lebanese from their rightful desire of having a decent state, with social welfare, security, peace, economical growth, job opportunities , etc., etc.
Instead of fighting for foreign agendas and for personal power, as they all do, and disagree on Presidents, electoral laws, the definition of who is our enemy and who's not, and other bullshit, they should work for us, as we are the one who pay them. Lebanon became a country without hope for its children, a corrupt country where only "wasta" keeps people alive. Where politicians struggle for their own benefits and their own power, and never cared of creating a state, and even less a nation. ALL current politicians are responsible for our actual crisis, be it economical, social or political. They are managing our country at least since 1975. I say: BASTA. You failed, you leave, because you are all incompetent. In any other civilized countries they would have all retired.
All current politic statements are based on fear. M14 wants us to fear Hizballah, the fakih state , Assad ... and M8 wants us to fear Daesch, the salafists, zionists, ... And we, like lambs, in relation of whom we fear more, follow M14 or M8, not because we love them, but because we are afraid of the others. We have to wake up. These politicians are making fools out of us, and use us for their personal benefits.
It is a vicious circle. It only can be broken through a revolution, a peaceful revolution a la Ghandy. Civil disobedience until we have a state we can obey. It is a long process, but it can work....as it did in India.
