The budget "takes the signature" of President Aoun …

The failure of the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, to sign the finance law has become a legal affair on the Lebanese scene, in light of the negative repercussions this has on the Lebanese economy and the economy. Economic image of the country before the international community.

The president will sign
Despite all the confusion, the president must sign the law in the coming hours and send it for publication in the Official Journal next Thursday.

Sources close to him told Al-Nahar that the law would not be sent back to the House of Representatives, because it is not in the interest of budgeting until it has demanded its approval. is a record for his time. He is also responsible, aware of the anticipated positive repercussions on the financial situation and the evaluation of the situation abroad. However, all this does not mask the imbalance that the President of the Republic sees in the inclusion of a paragraph in Article 80, which has nothing to do with the House of Representatives nor with the budget for lack of financial status.

We also know that the President of the Republic will not challenge the article before the Constitutional Council and that the "strong Lebanese bloc" who supports it will not appeal to them, on the grounds that the Constitutional Council will not consider this article. alone, but the budget as a whole, it is unacceptable for the President of the Republic.

However, the planned step of the block is to introduce an accelerated bill to repeal the article in the House of Representatives, while it was previously known that the fate of the proposal depends on the holding of A public meeting of President Nabih Berri and the temptation to abandon the proposal to vote or, at best, to abandon the dispatch status. He goes to committees and can go to the 2020 budget.

Sources close to Baabda said that the President of the Republic and the "strong Lebanese Bloc" did not recognize the status quo. If Aoun is bound by a specific deadline of one month to return or to promulgate the laws and decrees adopted by the Council of Ministers, the decrees called decrees of the Public Service Council are ordinary decrees, And the publication of the Article in the finance law is not to publish these decrees, but will continue to prevent the administrative imbalance related to the addition of the last paragraph to the article, as a contradiction of the requirements of coexistence and constituting an interference in the powers of the executive power.

In this context, sources close to the President of the Republic explained to the "Major General" that President Aoun was responsible for the regularity of public funds in accordance with its section, as well as its role and location. He seized budgets on a regular basis after 2005 and introduced financial discipline to the Ministry of Finance during the final version from 1993 to 2017 inclusive and forward them to the Audit Bureau for identical data in order to 39, a final audit.

She stressed that President Aoun wanted to publish the budget so as to pbad a law authorizing the government to publish it despite the absence of account blocks and a six-month period to complete the accounts for the years mentioned, noting that no one should wait for the President of the Republic All this must be done without signing the budget. She said that Aoun would sign the budget, would not react and would not dispute it.

What after the signature
"Major General" who, after signing the budget today, Aoun explains the reasons for signing and highlights the importance of the budget, will present his remarks on Article 80, according to which the signature n & rsquo; Does not cancel the suspension of the budget approval procedure.

According to sources close to the "brigade", it is necessary to deal with what has been done in this article to prevent recurrence of what happened each time and confirm the separation of powers and the responsibility of the executive power over a number of subjects. She pointed out that even Article 95, which is invoked by the team that supports the adoption of Article 80, needs clarification as it has not been entered into. the steps that constitute the minimum for the entire budget and did not apply the transition period referred to in Article 95 does not constitute the commission to abolish political sectarianism or the Senate And no election on a non-sectarian basis and as this has not happened is supposed to maintain things in terms of equality between Muslims and Christians in accordance with the requirements of the national agreement and these explanations can be put later to prevent the repetition of what has happened every time Lebanon faces a similar situation.
