The newspaper “Nidaa al-Watan” stated that those familiar with the position of the head of the “Progressive Socialist Party” Walid Jumblatt assert that many considerations prevent him from joining the caravan of supporters of the head of the “Marada Movement” Suleiman Franjieh. He conveyed this frank and clear position to those he met during the recent period, to make it clear unequivocally that “there must be a president from outside the alignments.”

According to them, Jumblatt’s considerations are summarized as follows:

– There is no doubt that Walid Jumblatt is one of the most clever politicians in swimming with the current of regional developments, just as he is not one of the suicidal people who face fierce storms, especially those coming from abroad. However, he may have his own merits that make him inclined to a president from outside the alignments, who, with his arrival, maintains balance in the country and does not make it “disruptive” in favor of one group against another.

– Jumblatt does not deceive when he says that the future belongs to Taymour Jumblatt, and does not practice the policy of hiding behind a finger, because inheritance is really tied to Taymour. And the latter, as is known, has his own approach to the Lebanese structure, the rules for dealing with public affairs, and how to build a state, which is almost inconsistent with his father’s vision, if we do not say opposition. From this aspect, Timur does not favor submitting to a settlement that would revive the combination that has held the reins of the country since the nineties of the last century, even if he is the heir to one of its ribs. However, this does not mean that the father and his son are not in agreement or harmony in the presidential file, especially since it was Walid Jumblatt who had previously said in one letter that he considers Michel Moawad to be a challenge candidate for a team, just as Franjieh is a challenge candidate for a team. He still has his opinion.

– The head of the “Progressive Party” will not take a step forward that would place him on the opposite side of the Christian forces. As long as they reject the arrival of the head of the Marada Movement, he will not bypass them. In his media appearance on Monday, he will reaffirm the constants that govern his position on the presidency, regardless of the president’s name: that he should not be rejected by Christians first, that he be accepted by most Lebanese forces, in the sense that he should not come in the manner of a victor and a vanquished. To have a clear reform plan. Not to expose Lebanon to any internal or external confrontation with the Arabs.

In this sense, the name becomes for him an elaboration, to equate with that, Franjieh with others. It is important that these specifications be present with the nomination.
