Observant sources have revealed, in contact with the electronic newspaper “Al-Anbaa”, that “Basil wants to widen the stone to obtain greater political gains than Hezbollah can assure him, including knowledge of the party’s position on the presidential elections, and therefore, if he cannot run for president, at least he categorically refuses Hezbollah to adopt the head of the Marada Movement, Suleiman Franjieh, as president, as he is not willing to believe that he is the head of the largest parliamentary bloc and has no right to run for president, while Franjieh has one deputy and her candidacy quotas are high.
The sources underlined that “Bassil wants Sold to play with Hezbollah this time, and believes that as long as he ensures Christian cover for the party, it is forbidden for the latter to ally with other Christians, and for this we find him this time using the method of the high ceiling, hoping to extract what he wants from the party”. Otherwise, after today he will find himself free in his options, including hiding behind Bkerke to fight the battle to preserve the position of the presidency from the defense of Christian rights. The leaders of front row to take a unified position on cabinet meetings before the election of the President of the Republic, which Basilio categorically refuses.
In context, the sources downplayed the possibility that Bkerki was responding to Bassil’s wishes to hold a Christian-Christian dialogue for Christian or Maronite leaders in particular, because such a meeting had already been held and yielded no results, noting that Basil bears responsibility for its dissemination at the time, so the sponsor’s promise came to Basil to study his proposal and hold bilateral meetings, not at the level of all Maronite leaders.
Furthermore, sources close to Bkerke’s position have indicated via the “al-Anbaa” electronic newspaper that “the sponsor is carefully studying its options and will not take any steps if it does not guarantee its success, but its priority is to elect a president to the republic, and asked Bassil not to vote with carte blanche and to go immediately to elect a President of the Republic.
As for the positions, the deputy Nazih Matta, deputy of the Repubblica Forte bloc, indicated that “Bkerki always asks for a sort of dialogue, and he does not know if the “current” group is trying to exploit this point to ask for a Christian-Christian dialogue to support their position by contesting the cabinet meeting, considering it an attack on the powers of the President of the Republic”, revealing in an interview with the electronic newspaper “al-Anbaa” that “Bkerki cannot say because there is no dialogue, but the sponsor has spoken of bilateral dialogues, and therefore has taken this request in a realistic direction and bilateral dialogue, knowing that it cannot go to expanded dialogues because you know who reneged on dialogue last time with a long and broad promise, and that the experience that took place in the past did not lead to a place.
And Matta believed that “this time there is something serious, because Bassil believes that Hezbollah stabbed him, but according to him things won’t go very far between the party and the current, so the “current” cannot continue without the party, and the same goes for Hezbollah, because it provides him with a Christian cover. He wondered, perhaps Bassil was trying to revive him as a Christian after his popularity declined due to his alliance with Hezbollah.
As for the question of the invitation to dialogue, Matta indicated that “the forces consider the election of the president of the republic a priority, and if there is a session of dialogue, we will discuss it under the dome of the parliament, but if they want dialogue and consultation for Suleiman Franjieh, we will not participate”, and added: “We have to go towards what we want the president and what is required of him, then it will be easy for him to be elected. But if the dialogue is about what Hezbollah wants from the president and what what the others want, then there will be no agreement and there will be no elections. Matta asked: “Why is the democratic game not being heard, and this game that has been going on for three months stops? Their filibuster style, and we have continued without a fully empowered government, and we have entered the presidential vacuum, and this is a grave mistake because we have lost our credibility in front of the people.
So the stalemate remains as it is, waiting for the rams to be resolved within the political house of the March 8 team, and the new trends that may derive from them, especially in the presidential dossier.
