Averting to take position on the move of the Lebanese Forces’ President nominating his historic opponent, the leader of “Change and Reform”, could be labeled as the political feature theme in the Lebanese scene, yesterday; where every team took some “wiggle room” to take position on the presidential post nomination of the Republic that has been vacant since May 2014. By the time it is said that the French ambassador in Beirut is working on resolving the situation between the Lebanese political leaders.

Conversely, it seemed crystal clear that the Aoun-Geagea consensus is inadequate to resolve the presidential issue, with both sides being incapable of persuading their allies of this agreement that has for fact stunned many, for what both Christian leaders’ past partook in conflicts and bloodsheds.

For instance, Geagea failed in convincing his ally the “Future Movement” aka Tayar Al-Mustakbal, in adopting Aoun’s candidacy nomination, where the team persisted on nominating Aoun’s ally, MP Suleiman Franjieh for the post; and Aoun did not succeed in persuading the Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in voting for him, as the latter seemed to clutch tightly to the nomination of Franjieh.

Neither did Aoun succeed in influencing the “central” Walid Jumblat and his bloc of 11 deputies to win their votes, as Jumblatt evaded again by nominating MP Henri AlHelou, member of his bloc; a move that proves his willingness to provide the quorum for the session, yet without having to cast a vote for either of the aforementioned candidates.

Correspondingly, Jumblatt’s bloc delivered a moderate statement yesterday, that contents all sides, yet does not pledge either of them, to an extent that Jumblatt himself mocked the clarity he stood by, while Hezbollah’s bloc postponed the session that was scheduled for tomorrow.
