Hariri from Dar el-Fatwa: Keeping an Eye on the Country

W460

Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri said after meeting Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan on Saturday, and after attending the meeting of the Higher Islamic Council, that he is keeping an eye on the country as it grapples with economic and social crises.

The PM-designate did not say anything about a plan to resign as media reports said.

Hariri had met with Daryan at Dar el-Fatwa, and also attended the meeting of the Higher Islamic Council.

“We held constructive and important talks at the Council. The country is deteriorating economically and socially each day. The Mufti and I are keeping an eye on the country, which is all we care about,” said Hariri.

Hariri did not reply to reporters’ questions on whether he plans to resign.

This man for personal gain contributed to the destruction of Lebanon. He once had the largest parliamentary bloc and was considered a hero within his community. Instead of emulating his late father, he made a deal with the devil. He agreed to change the electoral law which reduced his parliamentary bloc by 10 MPs, gave Hezbollah and its allies the majority in parliament, and agreed to elect Aoun for president.

Today, we are living the consequences of his immature, selfish and bad decisions.

He is folding yet again like a cheap tent.

In all honesty since these politicians always love France, how about do like the French did when it came to the role of PM in French system of government. if it were up to me, in all honesty I'd eliminate the PM position and have an Executive/Presidential style type of a government. Similar to what tey have in France.

The only way forward for Lebanon is via The Green Book, direct democracy to the Lebanese.

We used to pride ourselves in being the only democratic country in the Arab world, and how sad are we now to see that all the Arab countries are a million times better governed than our country is, and this is because we have a dysfunctional democracy, which instead of adding value, is destroying the country with the likes of small men like Aoun, Basil, and to a lesser extent Hariri, never mind the crooks like Jumblat and Beri, and certainly Nassralah who hijacked the country through his armed group. Lebanon needs to be put under an army mandate, with the army boss taking charge until a new and more centralized system of government is found to put back Lebanon on its feet again.

The Green Book is direct democracy for Lebanon. Removal of external powers in Lebanon is paramount.

All war criminals must be held accountable and either resign from political infrastructure or leave Lebanon. Solution to Lebanon is and will always be, Direct Democracy.
