5 prominent demands.. Lebanese MP submits required specifications for next president
Lebanese MP Ghada Ayoub criticized the presidential void that her country is experiencing. “These conditions aggravate the suffering of Lebanese who are already living a difficult reality,” she said.
The Council of Representatives failed again last Thursday to elect a new president for the country, in the ninth session of its kind, where the white paper tops the nominations of deputies in light of disputes between Hezbollah and its ally the president of the “Free Patriotic Movement” MP Gebran Bassil on the support of the first candidate, hitherto undeclared, the president of the “Marada” Movement, Suleiman Frangieh.
Speaking at the annual Christmas dinner held by the Forces Center in Paris, Ghada Ayoub, a member of the Strong Republic bloc representing Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, said: “We live in Lebanon in a very difficult reality, the presidential vacancy has taken root and obstructing the election of the president has become a continuous approach and practice, and paralysis hits all institutions and some are busy restoring their powers, while what is needed is to restore the nation.”
Every Thursday, we take part in a fateful election, such as the election of the president of the republic, and we find that the White Paper is their candidate to paralyze and paralyze the country; “Because they are betting that someone will ultimately kneel down and surrender to their project and hand them over to the country.
“Unfortunately, they are not satisfied with the same disruption they played six years ago, but history this time will not repeat itself and the only solution for us is the constitution,” she said.
The MP from the Forces Party set the required specifications for the next president, stressing that “the president who is subject to weapons and their power is unacceptable, and the lackluster president we will not follow; We have put forward a clear blueprint for the solution,” he said.
“We want a president who is daring to put Hezbollah’s weapons on the table, not for dialog and argument, and to waste time,” she said. “We want a president who has the courage to address the economic crisis with reformist policies that will lift Lebanon out of hell, who has the courage to carry out his role with full independence and who has the courage to reconcile Lebanon with the free world and with his friends.”
“We are waiting for this president, and until he comes, we are keen on the position of first presidency and proper vacancy management,” she said.
“The absence of a president paralyzes the state, things are not going without a head, and Lebanon cannot have a president without one; So neither the legalization of necessity, nor the sessions of necessity for the caretaker government are the solution, and the only solution is called the ballot box in the House of Representatives. This alone saves us from the state of statelessness.”
