Geagea: Are there more failing institutions than EDL?

The leader of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, said at a dinner held at the party headquarters in Maarab that he had been talking about appointments to Prime Minister Saad Hariri: "Hariri has asked me whatever you want appointments.In appointments, we do not want anything from them, "said Hariri." What if you do not name anyone on your behalf via the mechanism? " told him: "Follow a mechanism in appointments and we do not want anyone for us."

Geagea pointed out that "the mechanism in the appointments allows the hiring of people for the whole country, because no one is preferred to them, and that they will therefore also be our appointees, and even if they were or were not, we will not ask them anything outside the law ".

"We are living in a difficult but troubling situation, but if it stays as it is or if it is managed in the current way, it will inevitably become more hopeless.This situation needs state males," he said. -he declares.

"For six months now, many have sounded the alarm, have you ever seen the extraordinary behavior, they act on the contrary as if nothing was happening in the country, some were looking for constitutional interpretations, others were talking of authority, and some would like to turn the Capricorn case back to the Board And the patient on the ground, all these conflicts are happening at a time when the country needs attention at all times. "

He pointed out that "a month and a half ago, the government did not meet at a time when it has to meet every day to take the necessary measures and save the country. recalling some of the wars of the past and the West Market, he fought with the "progressive socialist" party.

"Do senior officials not see what's going on?" He pointed out that "each manager receives a daily report on imports and current expenses, as well as economic indicators that are declining by the day, while some are working to open the papers of the past and to the Qabrshmon incident. ".

"Why is there no justice in Lebanon if it is not by the Council of Justice, is there any other option?" He explained that "the reason for his refusal to the Judicial Council is that the investigator is an exceptional investigator with many powers and appointed by the Minister of Justice." There are precedents, starting with the question of the station "lbc" and not ending with any other questions.

He stressed that "the case is now before the military court, and all the indicators indicate that there are suspicious elements, because the case should have been placed in the hands of the judge, the Supreme Adjutant, Judge Fadi Akiki, but did not take place.Then, removed from Judge Fadi Sawan, "The preliminary investigation started in the Division of Information and Services security agencies agreed to conduct the investigation. Today, they are working to change the description of the crime, "said Judge Marcel Basil.

Turning to the second point, the illegal pbadages, he said: "Defense Minister Elias Bou Saab is trying to put the army in the foreground, but this is not true. in this story, but the issue requires a written political decision.The army will close all the clandestine crossing points and it will discharge the mission, and the second day you will find that she has them all closed, but unfortunately, the defense minister takes things differently and talks about the fact that the military is criticized for not having closed the illegal crossings.

"There are those who speak of the existence of common villages and are geographically located between Lebanon and Syria.Nobody asked you to build a wall in the middle of the village, but say to close the road to the Lebanese border, dollars to the state treasury, and protects the local industry. "

He explained that "between illegal and legitimate pbades, the state loses about $ 800 to $ 900 million a year, while the state uses it to tax hookahs and glbad dark, can collect a billion dollars by simple measures taken via these pbadages.

Geagea referred to the third point, noting that "the Finance and Budget Committee has appointed 5,300 illegal employees and that the Commission has not been able to enter public institutions, which means that the number of approximately 7,000 employees is illegible.This employee who presented him to the state functions for his electoral vote can only pay his salary, and here we are talking about 50 to 60 million dollars a year. "

In the fourth point, he asked: "Is there a more failing organization than EDL? The cost of the loss of electricity is $ 2 billion a year, and there is a council outgoing administration, they do not want to appoint a new board, how can we get out of the crisis, and the officials do this? "

Geagea pointed out that "some accuse international agencies of spreading rumors by negative clbadification, at a time when the government is not meeting and where political debates are endless, without any seriousness for all the issues raised, even those that do not need not more than two or three months Since the beginning of the budget study, we have not reached what we are.
