Political Movement in Lebanon’s Free Patriotic Movement Under Bassil’s Leadership

Any observer of the recent period can notice a remarkable political movement at the level of the “Free Patriotic Movement”. political parties for which Bassil fought political battles against opposing and abolishing homosexuality.

Bassil continues his political battle with the file of the Presidency of the Republic, under the slogan of accepting anyone but Suleiman Franjieh, and continues his soft battle with “Hezbollah” to reject within the framework of the war, without bringing the file to an end, as well as the populist file which is at the forefront at the moment and is considered unanimously and without doubt among the Aounists It is the case of the Syrian movement, with the return of a policy of openness to the outside world, especially the Gulf states and the Kingdom. of Saudi Arabia in particular, after a long break.

The current files are a matter of consensus among the “readers” and there is no disagreement about them except for a few weak, ineffective voices who are dissatisfied with the situation with “Hezbollah” and who wants to join him again, in parallel with these files, there is a great internal work done by Bassil, and that is what he opened his third presidential term by appointing Naji Hayek as Vice President for Foreign Affairs, which was considered a radical change, but he brought back a major president. within the “current” to efficiency, that is the “Bashiri” movement, which had moved away for several years and which today has returned to the very beginning of the ranks.

Hayek’s recruitment shock was accompanied internally by several other organizational measures, but over time he gradually campaigned for positions and formations at the third and fourth levels in the party (departments, regions, autonomous regions, municipalities ) in which he established strong loyalists, and then moved to the top, in terms of the Political Council and the Central, all the way to the parliamentary block itself, and it became clear that the elections that took place at the Central Council level into effect. the influence of all who were close to Basil.

It seems that he has reached the last stage, which is the most difficult stage, which controls the parliamentary block and removes illegal voices. If this step does not lead to a great uproar due to the long preparation for this issue (since the beginning of Bassil’s term and the appointment of Mattani Orthodox as Vice President), what is happening now with Representative Alain Aoun almost. the biggest risk, due to several factors, the most important of which is the history of Alain Aoun as well as being present at the movement conference, and he is in a different situation than what he had before him, but all these issues did not stand against Bassil, who seems to continue with the full coverage of the former President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, and this is clear from the decision that was released. It will be much easier and will open an “autostrada” for complete and long-term control, even if several other agents are affected, so Alain is much more than the rest.

The insurgent work and the battle at home are synonymous with a different movement outside the “norm.” Bassil made a great opening move against several political forces, starting with the biggest opponent, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the first step succeeded in exchanging services (the Engineers Syndicate in exchange for the expansion of towns and sessions legislative), and he joined him With several steps taken into account in politics, they are towards the political families, or what General Aoun called the feudal families. . The doors of batroun were opened to the former deputy prime minister of murder, the favorite of her brother melhem tawalo, who surprised everyone from jzzine, from the home of Ibrahim Azar, who fought with his face and with his father’s face in the most battles harsh, only to return and enter Jezzine from his home as a sign of his position and presence after the town was removed from political representation in Parliament.

According to what Al-Nahar has learned, there will be other meetings in the coming weeks with other political figures who months ago were very far from the “present,” and in the second stage it will be towards figures from different sectors which was also far from “present,” and this issue will also be accompanied by a media movement New, wide and wider, and its signs began to appear after the settlement with “MTV” last Thursday with a settlement that did not ‘ left a person at a loss bring Bassil and his team back to the latest screen, and the move will open to all media outlets, even those with which he has religious problems from him, it is necessary to keep up with the procedure, and non- the ability of the “current” through its media to effectively enter the media sphere.

Sources close to the “current” do not see that what Bassil is doing is a big change, and the questioner goes back to the period of 2005 and 2009, when General Aoun together with Michel Murr, Elias Skaff, Suleiman Franjieh, and others, and they were on the other side, all under the umbrella of “Change and Reform,” and from the parties helping in the sweep that Aoun received in the Christian street, and even after he moved away from the reports mentioned, Bassil related to Michel Moawad and Nemat Ephrem, who are political figures and members of families.

Regarding the continuous speech from the movement about the need to fight against feudalism, the sources show that after many years, no one was able to cancel them, and they proved that the representation was not artificial, and it remained they were there and they were on it. the voters and the people, and this is what the recent elections have proven, starting with Elias Murr, and the end of this process has come to mean elimination, and this is the that we do not accept it in all categories, and we will not accept it. it today.

Regarding the attempt to create a Christian face like the one that appeared in Maarab some time ago, the sources denied this matter, and it does not go beyond the return of the “current” to his main place after “the October 17 attack. ” It is a new proof that the movement is not isolated or weak on the Christian street, and that it can build a strong network of alliances that is equal to what other people build.
