باسيل يعتبر أن نية المداورة "استهدافية اقصائية": سلام ليس حاكما بأمره بالتأليف

Read this story in English W460

رأى وزير الطاقة والمياه في حكومة تصريف الاعمال جبران باسيل، أن الرئيس المكلف لا يفرض أو يهدد بأمر واقع غير ميثاقي، معتبراً أن في المداورة "نية استهدافية استقصائية".

وفي مؤتمر صحافي عقده، ظهر الاحد، في دارته في البترون، اعتبر ان "اعتماد المداورة بالشكل المطروح حالياً فيه تعطيل لعمل المؤسسات".

وأشار إلى ان المداورة في الحقائب وتسمية الوزراء "تعقيدات جديدة"، مشيراً الى أن "المداورة في الحقائب المقترحة حالياً أمر فيه تعطيل لعمل المؤسسات واستخفاف بعقول النبهاء والنية من خلاله استهدافية استقصائية".

وأضاف انه يمكن اعتماد مداورة منطقية وعملية ومنصفة في الوزارات والادارات العامة مع بدء كل عهد رئاسي، الا ان اعتمادها بالشكل المطروح حاليا، "فيه تعطيل لعمل المؤسسات وتخريب لمصالح الناس واستخفاف بعقول النبهاء والعاديين منهم".

وأردف أن "الكبير من السياسيين والصغير من الناس يعرف ان المقصود هو استهداف واقصاء لما هو اكبر من شخص او اسم فقط، والاستهداف هو لتيار اولا ولطائفة ثانيا ولوطن ثالثا والاستهداف هو لانجاز ولقطاع فنفط لبنان مستهدف ورفضنا باقتناص حقيبته هو من خوفنا عليه".

ولفت الى ان "النفط ضمانة للبنان وفيه ضمانة للاستقرار، وفيه ضمانة المال، وفيه ضمانة الشراكة"، مردفاً "حقيبة النفط ضمانة جديدة للمسيحيين".

الى ذلك، اعتبر باسيل أن "الرئيس المكلف تمام سلام ليس حاكماً بأمره في التأليف، الشراكة تكون بالاتفاق المبدئي حول الحكومة والهدف من التشاور تامين الثقة النيابية العددية وتامين الثقة الميثاقية من جهة اخرى واي امر يحيد ان احدى الثقتين هو خروج عن الميثاق والدستور والاعراف".

وتابع أن "التشاور والتوافق يعنيان حكما وعرفا ان يتحمل كل فريق مسؤولية اختيار الاسماء التي تمثله".

وقال ان "دور الحكومة العتيدة في هه المرحلة ياتي ضمن اولويات ثلاث تامين الاستقرار الامني وتامين انتخابات رئاسة الجمهورية في موعدها وحاجات الناس".

FT, let say you are 100% right. Let say also that the other side wants those portfolios for the juicy paybacks and commission. Why should it be the exclusivity of the FPM.

Many agree that Bassil has done a good job (whether he has or not taken large amounts of commission is not the issue). The argument of Aoun and Bassil should not be about the rights of Christians or the FPM (we are not in a kindergarten playground) but rather about competence and continuity of those strategic ministries.

Bassil: The Energy Ministry portfolio should not be used as a means to eliminate the other.

Bassil: The Energy Ministry portfolio has great strategic value for Lebanon and Christians in particular.

Bassil: They have sought to achieve personal gains after our discovery of offshore oil.

@cedars2
"its the property of the Lebanese": you right!, but why M14 put obstacles in order to the project doesn't go ahead!? knowing that the only beneficiary of that delay is Israel.

I have a solution to the Israeli issue, we can go back to the armistic agreement signed in 1948 or ask the UN to come up with a solution to the border issue "ie Shebba farms bedtime story", once we both agree that we will not instigate aggression across the borders the border will be quiet "ie Jordan, Egypt and Golan Heights"
There will be peace and prosperity in the South and disarming of militias especially those that have created a mini Tehran. Shoo rayak?

A little observation here on this rotation of portfolios. When you rotate, you eventually return to your starting position when full rotation (360 degrees) is achieved. So basically the Energy portfolio would return to the FPM on a regular basis.
Let's look at it like a time-share scheme. All parties would be given the chance to dip their fingers into the Energy honey pot. It is a win-win. The only losers are us the citizens.
I find it increasingly difficult not to be Lebanese and incredulous at the same time.

Thumb jabal10452 15:55 ,2014 كانون الثاني 26

I'm just being sarcastic brother, that's all. Rotation schemes don't work. How can you have continuity in an organization when you know that the boss will step down on a regular basis, only to be replaced by another with different political priorities and a different management style, let alone a different management team. That's a proven recipe for chaos. Take it from someone who make a living running companies.

Thumb jabal10452 17:55 ,2014 كانون الثاني 26

(1) Roar, Marshal law would get us nowhere. Lebanon is not so homogenous a society to allow for a dictator to run it effectively. You'll have even more unrest than you have today.

The root of our problems is our deeply ingrained sectarian mindset. When push comes to shove, our politicians default to their sectarian affiliations. Bassil's main argument today is that "THE CHRISTIANS" need a key portfolio. In working democracies, and when building a coalition government, the bickering would be about which political parties would get what, not which religious denominations.

Thumb jabal10452 17:57 ,2014 كانون الثاني 26

(2) I argued above that the concept of rotation doesn't work, and I gave my reasons. One solution to this impasse is to keep the ministry in the hands of the FPM, but to form a Board of Oversight to monitor the management of this ministry. There is a lot of money involved in Energy, and a level of oversight is needed to appease the concerns of other parties. I'm not aware that such alternative is being considered. Should the FPM oppose such idea, it would mean that they want to run Energy as they see fit, without a mechanism of checks and balances. This would not be acceptable. It is as if a CEO would run his/her company with total disregard to its Board of Directors.

Division, distrust and mutual hatred mean that Lebanon has never enjoyed anything called independence, nor a strong state that is enjoying strong constitutional institutions. The decay has reached such scary proportions that the fight now is nothing over but posts that should be freed from the inertia of party, sectarian and individual priorities. There was once upon a time when Lebanon, albeit very briefly enjoyed unity and contiguity all over its territories, then that shrank to self proclaimed sectarian free areas. Today the division affects all the Lebanese to the state where this deep division is not confined to within one building alone but even inside the kitchen. Mr. Bassil's position has simply confirmed what is known to afflict us now for a long time, and sadly it looks set to get worse, a lot worse.

the_roar,
Rotation of posts is good for Lebanon because our politicians are corrupt and can not be trusted to hold the same post for too long. At least by rotating they will be too afraid to steal too much because they will be exposed by the next guy. It is not a good solution but in Lebanon's case it is better than not rotating.

Just a question: since 2005 and the liberation can anyone tell us what any of the 14 march ministers did? Any achievement? Any plan that worked?... The only ministers who were really effective were people like ziad baroud, charbel nahass, gibran bassil, nicolas sahnaoui.... So why give our last chance for economical salvation ie: oil and gas to a political group who can only present failures for CV?

why rotation was not proposed between 1990-2007?. Rotation is not acceptable now or later! for either camp. People/Parties/Governments should be accountable for their works. Each camp will be embezzling and blaming the others when rotation is the form. I am surprised the phalange and LF are willing to accept anything that will heart the Tayyar, even if it hearts all christians!

You don't care about any thing ells except lining your pockets. And no one has nominated the two of you as the sole representative of the christians.
