A natural reserve is measured by the life and biodiversity it preserves, whereas the populist reserve preserves nothing but its owners' inability to deliver a real achievement.

Whoever wants to defend them should start by reading their laws, and should tell the Lebanese what he has actually done to preserve them.

We wished to see the "rampant keenness" when the reserves needed funding, management plans and actual protection, not for it to suddenly surface when a technical and legal file is turned into material for political bickering or showy competition, as if the electoral bazaar had started early for some.

What is required is not only that the government announces what it will pay, but how it will pay, when it will pay, and that it actually commits to payment deadlines.
جورج عدوانالنائب10 days ago · MTV Lebanon
What is required today from the government, specifically from the Ministry of Finance, is not partial solutions or postponed promises on the electricity issue, but a comprehensive and integrated government decision, including clear and specific financial commitments, coupled with implementation mechanisms and a binding timetable.

In the past, there were many spontaneous and comfortable encounters bringing together music choirs, school trips, or fire brigades. The stories of the Nazi Holocaust receded into the background, and the focus shifted more to life now, the beach, the LGBTQ community, and music.

There are visits he is making for the sake of the extension and the appeals, to inform everyone of what is happening and to consolidate his position, but that is not due to a rotation between the Sunni and Shiite communities. Saudi Arabia has historically had its role, and I do not know why it is absent or acting from afar, but Turkey has a role in the matter of Mufti Derian.

This is a very important and delicate point, namely a matter of balances that President Berri may undertake to preserve Islamic unity.

What is happening today is due to the absence of the political authorities that once carried weight, particularly since the days of the martyr Rafik Hariri and even during the era of President Saad Hariri. More clearly, if the martyr President Rafik Hariri were present, what happened would not have happened. Today, in the absence of leaders and authorities, matters may have shifted to the Speaker of Parliament, but not in order to create a rotation between Sunnis and Shiites or to redress the grievance of the noble Shiite community politically, religiously and administratively, but to preserve the game of political balances.
