Strong Lebanon Bloc Cautions against Technocrat Govt.

W460

Parliamentary sources from the Strong Lebanon bloc have warned that any technocrat government “might be doomed to fail due to its limited jurisdiction, especially if it did not enjoy a political cover.”

“It might not be able to deal with any security developments,” the sources told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper in remarks published Sunday.

“We cannot take risks during this period, especially that we are standing on the brink of the abyss,” the sources added.

“A strong government that can make quick achievements is needed,” the sources went on to say.

So that's the end of a possibility of a return to tranquility in Lebanon. Nothing will be done changing one politician for another

I've heard many times, "They have not allowed us to...." Who is "they"? Why haven't these names been passed to the authorities?

That is why, "everyone means everyone". This is clearly not working and the people of Lebanon cannot trust those who are in power.

We need some sort of transitional government in place to help rectify any short-term political and economic issues before another, more trustworthy government is given the responsibility.

Gad bless Lebanon.

They have done so much with the current system---didn't they imply that?

Should rename themselves to something else--"Strong"doesn't quite describe them well--weak, sectarian, ineffectual come to mind though.

Kleptocracy: a government with corrupt leaders (kleptocrats) that use their power to exploit the people and natural resources of their own territory in order to extend their personal wealth and political powers. Typically, this system involves embezzlement of funds at the expense of the wider population.

Sounds familiar?
