The failure of the negotiations to give the Country of the Cedars a new executive is seen as a slap in the face by the French president who personally committed himself to a solution: “I am ashamed for the Lebanese ruling class,” he said.

Writer Douaihy: “Surviving any calamity is Beirut’s destiny”
–
Macron is went to Lebanon twice after the explosion of August 4 that destroyed a large part of Beirut, killing at least 190 people and accelerating the political crisis that had already gripped the nations, former French protectorate for months. Macron led the dialogue between the various local politicians and the international community, ready to economically help a country on the brink but only on the condition of substantial reforms. And at the beginning of September it had obtained the agreement of the various parties for the formation of a new “mission” government with the prime minister designated Adib.
Among the causes of the political impasse, there is the stabbing of Hezbollah which has claimed for itself the Ministry of Finance, a sensitive department all the more at this time. “A few dozen people are overthrowing a country, clinging to their privileges” he said said Macron. “I notice that they have chosen to hand Lebanon over to the game of foreign powers, to condemn it to chaos, instead of allowing it to benefit from the international aid that the Lebanese people need. The French leader does not want to close the door to negotiations anyway and still concedes a few weeks to the various Lebanese parties to find an agreement. “By the end of October – he announced – we will organize with the UN and a new conference to amplify aid to Lebanon”.
