المشهد السياسي في جلسة انتخاب رئيس يتكرَّر.. وحرب يحضِّر "اقتراحا دستوريا" يلزم النواب على حضور الجلسات

لم يتغير المشهد السياسي في الجلسة الـ35 لانتخاب رئيس للجمهورية، فرغم بروز مرشحين من فريق الثامن من آذار تستمر خطة التعطيل كي تطيل عمر الفراغ الرئاسي أكثر.

والاثنين في جلسة الثامن من شباط التي تحضر الكثيرون لها لم يكتمل النصاب، إذ تغيب عنها نواب حزب الله والتيار "الوطني الحر" و"المردة"، فيما حضرها نواب "القوات اللبنانية" وكتلة "التنمية والتحرير" وتيار "المستقبل" واللقاء الديمقراطي" وكذلك حزب "الكتائب اللبنانية" التي أسف رئسيها سامي الجميل بعد الجلسة "للاستخفاف باللبنانيين بعد كل هذا الحراك السياسي".

كما وأسف الجميل لأن "النواب أتوا لينتخبوا مرشحين رافضين ممارسة الديمقراطية".

اما وزير الاتصالات بطرس حرب فأعرب عن غضبه من التعطيل الحاصل. وقال "هذا المجلس هو مصدر السلطات لانتخاب رئيس لكن اذا ارداوا ان نبصم لتنصيب شخص ما فنحن لن نقوم باحتفالية التنصيب هذه كونها تنسف الديمقراطية"، داعيا الى احترام الالية الدستورية.

وشدد حرب على وجوب تعديل النصوص الدستورية. وأعلن أنه بصدد تقديم اقتراح نعديل دستوري ، ينص البند الاول فيه على إلزام كل النواب على حضور جلسات انتخاب رئيس للجمهورية مقابل الحفاظ على مقاعدهم النيابية.

أما البند الثاني بحسب حرب "فينص على استمرار رئيس الجمهورية في ممارسة مهامه الى حين انتخاب رئيس جديد".

بدوره، أعلن لنائب جورج عدوان أن "القوات" ستسعى للتقارب بين التيار "الوطني الحر" و "المستقبل"، معتبرا أيضا أن على حزب الله التفاهم مع النائب سليمان فرنجية ليبقى عون المرشح الاساسي لقوى 8 آذار.

يشار الى أن مقاطعة حزب الله للجلسة جاءت اثر موقف الامين العام السيد حسن نصر الله الحاسم لجهة ان الحزب لن يحضر أي جلسة انتخابية ما لم يضمن انتخاب النائب ميشال عون للرئاسة.

وأمس الاول أعلن وفد الحزب الذي التقى عون في الرابية أنه "سيكون أوّل الوافدين إلى المجلس النيابي عندما تتوافر الظروف الملائمة لانتخاب عون رئيساً.

The Islam of Tehran representatives in Lebanon did not attent to elect the person they said they supported for so many years. Masks have fallen and everyone (except those who themselves are Iranian with Lebanese IDs) should declare HA's betrayal and Desire to control Lebanon to promote its own agenda and Iranian agenda (one and the same)

most advanced most educated? LOL only in the Lebanese delusional heads.

You people do not get it ! Hezbollah supports Aoun and wants Aoun but its boycott of the elections is best explained by none other than the iranian secular mouthpiece mowaten:

"_mowaten_
hezbollah supports aoun and has been supporting him all along. but as long as the threat of ending up with a convicted war criminal as president was looming, the only possible was to prevent quorum from being attained."

Thumb justin 15:58 ,2016 شباط 08

But only M8 figures are candidates for the presidency?! This troll mowaten has no logic and is paid to post.

@eagle
Hezbollah the iranian party ran out of excuses as the whole world can see now. Geagea endorsed aoun and hariri endorsed franjieh yet the iranian party is still boycotting the elections. What is even more amazing is that both candidates (aoun and franjieh ) boycott their own election sessions. Thank you Hariri, Thank you Geagea for handing over the country officially to iran.

lol @ashtah.

Aoun and franjieh not attending the electoral sessions remind me of the groom who does not want to attend his own wedding ceremony.

MPs get free gasoline allowance every month.

The gas tax will be levied. The treasury is in dire straits.

Your accusation does raise the question of why Hezbullah does not engineer a civil uprising to install the popular vote by jettisoning the National-Pact/Taef-Accord arrangement contained in Article 24 of the Constitution where half of Parliament must be "Christians". (If a Shia and a Christian have a baby, what sect is the baby in?) (Answer: it is illegal for a Christian to marry a Shia. The government, as soon as there is one, views such marriages with extreme ill favor.) How do you know how many Lebanese are Shias? Wiki: last census was in the '30's "because it is so controversial". Noam Chomsky says more than half of Lebanese are Shias. That would explain Hezbullah's strength, assuming most of them support it. Why would they, except for Speaker Berri, trust the racist government? I mean non-government.

Where, someone tell me, where are the Lebanese people?? There's garbage in the streets, raw sewage in the sea, nothing works and they have the unique ability to change this, but instead, they do nothing. Those who can leave, leave, and those who can't are clients of the political class and the patronage that comes as payment for the sale of the sovereignty of the State.
Who to blame, those who vote with their feet and leave, rather than to stay and fight for your country!

Tex, keep in mind that before they vote first they have to get a quorum present which is 85 members, then of that number, a simple majority is required since the initial vote was taken which required a 2/3 majority to win. So now, only 43 votes are needed to win from an 85 Member Quorum.
By the Numbers, to get to 86, you have FPM with 20, LF with 8, that's only 28. With Hezbollah at 13 and AMAL at 13, that gets the total to 69. Jumblatt's 7 brings it to 76. Quorum is still not presented without Future to come to Parliament and they are not coming to vote for Aoun.
