جنبلاط يؤكد ان مشكلة الرئاسة "في عقلية بعض المسيحيين": اللبناني لم يعد يشعر بالشغور

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat expressed distress over the ongoing presidential stalemate as the Lebanese no longer sense the vacuum at the state's higher post due to the rift between the rival Christians.

- Jumbo, you politicians have been used to this vacuum for quite some time...

“My opinion at this point won't change anything as we are too late... the dissociation policy has ended.”

- Has ended? It never started lmao. It was never even implemented.

I wonder how you and your 50 aliases are doing as you post from your final resting place dear flamethrower.... RIP Shia Hero

I respect Mr. Cityboy and Mr. Mowaten equally. I also respect Mr. Junblatt and Mr. Flamethrower. @Southern I also respect you.

If Caporal declares clearly that "Ebola has confiscated the state decision. That Ebola must surrender its weapons. That he is not for Mutelateh. That the Butcher is an assassin. That the best course for Lebanon is Neutrality". Then he will be my candidate.
But he will not, because he is a traitor to the Christians.

Mr joumblat , its not up to you to decide for the jiness el 3atel just count your money and next elections let someone else than from joumblat family be at the head of psp to give the example
god bless democracy

I honestly forgot we didnt even have a president before seeing this article....

give the good example mr joumblat and let the head of psp be outside the joumblat family
even though you and your son (joumblat family )have the most votes
god bless democracy

ya Jombie, contrary to what you have said, we Lebanese are today ever more concerned with having a president, now more than ever. No one is resigned to sit and watch forever, but we're you seem to be right is where you said that a 3rd candidate should be called in. But then why a 3rd candidate only, why not more, and let the winner win and be sworn in! I name Dimianos Kattar or Ziad Baroud, masalan.

Jumblatt is of course correct. Power abhors a vacuum. The fact that there is no president, whatever powers the President exercised in Lebanon has moved off to other offices, such as that of acting-President Salam, Berri, Nasrallah and a host of pseudo-Ministers in a Cabinet that has long lost its credibility since it exists with the consent of a Parliament that remains seated despite the expiration of its mandate.

Now that the powers of the President have been dispersed to the 4 winds and are in the portfolios of the Ministers and other officers, in order for their to be a President, these who now exercise a portion of Presidential power and prerogatives will have to surrender them. So since when, especially in Lebanon has power been willingly surrendered?? For the sake of what? A Constitution that no one follows? If some Christian Deputies and Ministers are exercising Presidential powers, then the Christian political role is not in crisis and this being the case, the imperative to find a new president is not there.
