Omar Rassi - Akhbar Al Yawm
The post-election phase may not be different from that which preceded it, as the complexities remain unchanged once the results are announced. An informed political source explains that Sunnis - regardless of the elections - want a strong head of government, and at the same time there is dissatisfaction with the performance of President Najib Mikati by the sunni part.
On the other hand, the source believes that setting the date for the binding parliamentary consultations is also a dilemma, at a time when the independent deputies and those from the revolution, in addition to the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb blocs, want to form immediately after the end of the legislative elections, it seems that the other party, in particular the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun and his team, and Hezbollah prefer to wait and therefore not specify the date of the consultations before hearing about the nature of government... This is a sign of great disagreement.
Hezbollah, the Free Patriotic Movement and the Amal Movement consider that, whatever the results of the elections, a "national unity" government should be formed, saying: past experience has shown that this type of government means that it is a government of "national deactivation", but many clear positions have been expressed in this regard.
The source points out that this knot will also fall on the presidential elections, which if we look at the results of the parliamentary elections, the natural conclusion that the path of MP Gebran Bassil and Minister Sleiman Franjieh towards Baabda has become more difficult in addition to the difficulties previous ones, and in return there is no possibility of electing the chief of the forces Dr. Samir Geagea if there is no "tsunami" of another type.
Based on the above data, the source claims that it is not true that "the picture is blurry", but it is clear that it is complex and difficult, and therefore the country is open to several possibilities.
The source concludes: it may be to limit political differences, and prevent them from flowing into the streets, which can lead to incidents of violence and assassinations... This is a feat for the political forces , whether traditional or newly elected.
