الحريري: نحن بكل بساطة لن نشارك بالانتخابات النيابية قبل انتخاب رئيس للجمهورية

Read this story in English W460

أعلن رئيس تيار "المستقبل" النائب سعد الحريري الأربعاء رفض التيار المشاركة في الإنتخابات النيابية ما لم ينتخب رئيس للجمهورية، نافيا وجود أي "صفقة" للتمديد لمجلس النواب.

وقال الحريري في تغريدات عبر حسابه الرسمي على موقع "تويتر" مساء الأربعاء "كلام كثير سيقال عن صفقة للتمديد للمجلس فلا صفقة ولا من يحزنون".

وأضاف الحريري "نحن بكل بساطة لن نشارك بالانتخابات النيابية قبل انتخاب رئيس للجمهورية".

وكان قد أبدى رئيس تكتل "التغيير والإصلاح" النائب ميشال عون الثلاثاء اعتقاده ان "صفقة" التمديد للبرلمان قد تمت.

وأقفل باب الترشيحات منتصف ليل الثلاثاء الأربعاء على 514 مرشحا، في ضوء تقدم أسهم التمديد للبرلمان بفعل إرادة سياسية مخفية حتى الآن وعدم اتفاق في الحكومة على توقيع مرسوم هيئة الإشراف على الإنتخابات الذي جاء متأخرا أصلا عن المهلة القانونية.

وأضاف الحريري في تغريداته "ليتفضلوا الى إنهاء الفراغ في الرئاسة ونحن على استعداد لأي استحقاق آخر".

أما خلاف ذلك "هناك رهان على المجهول وربما السقوط في الفراغ التام"، تابع الحريري.

قبل موقف رئيس التيار أعلنت كتلة "المستقبل" النيابية الأربعاء انها قدمت الترشيحات للإنتخابات النيابية المقبلة مع تمسكها بـ"انتخاب رئيس" كشرط مسبق تفاديا لـ"العيوب" الدستورية، مشددة من جهة أخرى على ضرورة مكافحة الإرهاب مع التمسك في الوقت عينه بسياسة "النأي بالنفس وإعلان بعبدا".

وقالت الكتلة في بيان بعد اجتماعها في بيت الوسط الأربعاء "الأولوية هي لانتخاب رئيس للجمهورية قبل أيّ استحقاقٍ آخر وذلك في ظلّ استمرار الشغور في موقع الرئاسة".

وشرحت الكتلة أن "إجراء انتخابات نيابية في ظلّ هذا الشغور سيشوبه عيبان أساسيان أولُهُما دستوريٌّ من خلال الفراغ المحتَّم كون (..) اما من جهةٍ دستوريةٍ قادرة على إجراء الاستشارات النيابية الملزمة" لتشكيل حكومة جديدة.

أما العيبُ الثاني فهو "تزايُدُ المخاوف الأمنية التي عبّر عنها سابقاً وزير الداخلية والبلديات بناءً على تقارير الأجهزة الأمنية المختصة، وبالتالي الوصول إلى إمكانية تعذُّرُ إجراء الانتخابات النيابية" بحسب الكتلة.

وعليه أعلنت أن "الترشيحات التي تقدمت بها الكتلة هي على أساس ان انتخاب رئيس الجمهورية هو شرط مسبق لإجراء الانتخابات النيابية، وعلى أمل ان يكون هذا الانتخاب قد تم قبل حلول موعد الانتخابات النيابية".

وذكرت في هذا الإطار بـ"المبادرة التي أطلقتْها قوى 14 آذار في الثاني من ايلول الجاري لإنقاذ الجمهورية والحفاظ على الدستور وانتخاب الرئيس الجديد"، كاشفة أنها ستتابع "اتصالاتِها مع الجميع بلا استثناء دعماً للمبادرة وإنجاحها".

من جهة أخرى رأت الكتلة أن"مواجهة الإرهاب مسؤوليةٌ أخلاقيةٌ ووطنيةٌ وعربيةٌ ودوليةٌ، وفي هذا الإطار تأتي مشاركةُ لبنان في مؤتمر جدة ومؤتمر باريس لحماية لبنان وحدوده".

لكن الكتلة جددت في الوقت عينه "دعوتها الجميع في لبنان للتمسك بسياسة النأي بالنفس والالتزام بإعلان بعبدا وعدم إقحام لبنان في مآزقَ خارجية"، مؤكدة ضرورة "انسحاب حزب الله من الصراع الدائر في سوريا".

وحضر لبنان ممثلا بوزير الخارجية جبران باسيل اجتماع جدة ومؤتمر باريس تمهيدا لبناء تحالف دولي ضد تنظيم "الدولة الإسلامية"، لكن باسيل دعا إلى عدم استثناء كدمشق وطهران.

حول موضوع مخطوفي عرسال العسكريين رأت الكتلة البرلمانية الأكبر في لبنان أن "الحملات التحريضية والتخوينية التي يشنها البعض، تارة على الحكومة ورئيسها وتارة على الجيش وقيادته وادارته للمعركة الأخيرة، تهدف الى استمرار تعقيد ملف المحتجزين وإبقائه دون حل".

وإذ رحبت الكتلة بمبادرة الرئيس المنتهية ولايته ميشال سليمان التي تحتم "المعالجة الفورية لنقص العديد لدى الجيش بما يدعمُ قُدُراته من خلال استدعاء الاحتياط"، رفضت أي نوع من أنواع الأمن الذاتي وجددت مطالبتها بـ"توسيعَ عمل نطاق قوات اليونيفيل ونشرها على الحدود الشرقية والشمالية حمايةً للبنان".

هذا وتوقفت الكتلة عند ما أسمته "الحملة العنصرية الظالمة التي تطال النازحين السوريين في لبنان" قائلة "إذا كان من مرتكب بينهم فلينل عقابه القانوني، أما خارجَ هذا الإطار فإنها تصبح أساليبَ غير انسانية ومضرة بمستقبل العلاقة بين الشعبين الشقيقين وهي المستمرةُ قبل الأنظمة وبعدها".

إلا أنها أكدت أهمية "دعم الحكومة لإيقاف هذا السيل بكل سبيل" في إشارة إلى تضخم عدد النازحين، لافتة إلى "ضرورةٌ قصوى" لتنظيم الوجود المؤقَّت لهم في مراكز إيواء.

he wont take part in parliamentary vote and he wont allow a president to be elected. or how to paralyze the country.

momo- Last time I checked, it was the two biggest low lives in the history of time that chose to boycott the elections. Do you mind elaborating as to how Saad Harriri "wont allow a president to be elected"?

Thumb EagleDawn 22:11 ,2014 أيلول 17

He won't elaborate. He is paid to distort and make up things as he goes along.

mowaten is not only re-writing history but he is re-writing the present. That is the epidemy of propaganda.

@LEBhasNOhope: geagea is clearly a divisive figure which is unacceptable for a huge chunk of the lebanese population (without getting into the % game, where some would say more than 50% and others would say less without anyone being able to get conclusive stats).

in any case, by insisting on him and not withdrawing him from the election, he is forcing the other side to block the process.
as a reminder, there is no m8's candidate (aound said he would only be a candidate if there was a consensus on him) and m8 is open to a unifying figure and to talks about it. yet, when hariri came to lebanon he did not even bother to try talking to m8 key figures in order to reach an agreement. purely and simply setting unacceptable conditions and sitting on it while the country is frozen in paralysis.

Thumb _mowaten_ 10:32 ,2014 أيلول 18

a new parliament is at this stage the only way to unlock the situation, since the present one is unable to function, let the people chose their representatives anew and let those new representatives elect a president. why refuse that? why prevent the people from expressing itself?

it has no other explanation than wanting to prolong the paralysis.

i was thinking exactly the same thing mowaten. You took the words out of my mouth. It seems we all think the same. We in fact could be the same person.

Thumb LEBhasNOhope 15:07 ,2014 أيلول 18

Mowaten- if a figure is decisive then don't vote for him. Otherwise it is no longer a democratic process and now you are imposing your will on us. Nobody is imposing their will on you? Is anyone telling who your candidate should or should not be? However, all you want to do is justify your actions that paralyze the country and blame it on your opponents.

LEBhasNOhope: root causes of this problem are in the way the constitution is designed. it has many flaws that allows this kind of blocking and sometimes forces you to it. if we want a real change then we should draft an entirely new Constitution from scratch, base it on merit, efficiency and give a real power to popular choice. as it is today, this outcome is basically unavoidable.

as for voting, or not voting, indeed, nobody can force me to vote for one candidate, just as nobody can force me to vote at all. m8 refusing to take part in a vote is also part of the constitutional game, which (again) is flawed, but this goes both ways: you cant ask someone to abide by the parts of it that suit you, and renounces to other parts of it that do not.

there are only two way outs: dialogue and consensus, or smashing the present constitution and re-writing it. forget about imposing geagea because you cannot impose him and we will not accept him.

Thumb _mowaten_ 16:55 ,2014 أيلول 18

three ways out actually, the third being let the people talk and elect a new parliament. if its composition is different then maybe the outcome will be as well. could be to m14 advantage (if they get more MPs and secure a majority to impose geagea) like it could be to m8 advantage and then they would impose aoun. in that scenario the people would have spoken and nobody will be able to challenge the outcome.

Thumb LEBhasNOhope 17:41 ,2014 أيلول 18

mowaten- I am all for changing the constitution to better the process. However, spare the BS that you or M8 or anyone else actually wants to do so. It is nothing more than an excuse to justify your/M8's actions. Had anyone, I mean anyone from M14 to M8 to extra terrestrials really wanted to change the constitution for the better, they would have mentioned oh sometime in the last 6 years! not NOW! give me a break, who are you trying to fool? had Claoun and HA had enough seats to vote CLaoun in, would you have been advocating change at this moment? would you be advocating changing the constitution while they are in office? did you advocate change when Suleiman or Lahoud was in the chair?

Thumb _mowaten_ 17:48 ,2014 أيلول 18

yes anonyme, of course! how did I not think of that!?
you just opened my eyes: anyone not doing what you want, even if doing so within the legal boundaries permitted by the constitution, is a traitor who should be hung!!!!

like seriously, i'd give you a tap on the back if i could, and tell you to go play in your sandbox because in the end you can believe whatever you want, i dont care.

you're simply irrelevant and insignificant and you think using big words and shouting big accusations will change anything to that. but in the end you're just like your heroes: full of hot air, pointless and risible.

Thumb _mowaten_ 17:54 ,2014 أيلول 18

LEBhasNOhope: i'm not trying to "justify" anything, because i dont need to. this is how things are, you wanted me to elaborate, i elaborated. you not liking my answer wont change anything, especially if you are incapable of answering factually to points i raised.

as a final comment on this: yes i did advocate it since ever, regardeless of who was in office. as far as i can remember i was always against the system upon which this country's institutions function. sectarian modes of government only bring sectarian divisions. and i dont think m8 or m14 will ever do this spontaneously, it's the population that should demand and impose it.

Thumb LEBhasNOhope 18:03 ,2014 أيلول 18

you made your last comment and I will make mine. I find it egregiously funny that someone who is such a big advocate of a secular process staunchly supports a sectarian militia to continually usurp the authority of the state and impose its will on the state. Act above the law, as it's own mini state and oh make its own war and peace decision. Is that factual enough for you?

The divine party - with the support of their agent - aims at destroying all remaining institutions. Their state cannot be created unless they destroy the Lebanese state.

Now is the perfect time to restructure all lebanon defacto, bravo... In 2005 and 2009 (btw 1960 was doha well brought electoral law by march 8 , anw) march 14 won majority, and we all know how democracy worked (7 ayyar, black shirt, israel killing all lebanese politician against syrian regime syrian regime, hachem salman, smaha...)
U know tge last time our constitution was changed it tooked 16 years of war... U think now it will be easyer?...
Defacto, stop masking ur position by nonsence words, hezbollah control most of the country, with clAoun he is obstructing what is left of the image of the institutions, before 2009 elections march 8 was saying winner takes it all (remember ngieh) march8 lost and since remember how they acted (again 7ayyar, black shirts....) so what if they lose again..
One only solution, no arms outside the state, all under the law, or cahos...

In 1974 leftist and arab nationalist thought they would win over christian right wing with the help of palestinian army...

KSA's servant or not, Hariri actually going by the constitution (a rarity in Lebanon). A president needs to be elected before the parliamentary elections take place, plain and simple. However, he'll end up violating the constitution along with everyone else when they extend Parliament's term for a second time (assuming a president won't be elected).
