The dispute over the amendment of the election law ranges in its place and its contract of expatriates

Muhammad Shuqair wrote in “Al -Sharq Al -Awsat”: The hopes of the sub -parliamentary committee in charge of considering the proposed amendments to the election law are not in their place in light of the escalation of the clash between the parties concerned; On the one hand, the opposition adheres to the abolition of Article 112 of the law (stipulating the creation of only 6 parliamentary seats to represent the Lebanese alienation abroad), and demands that the seats be distributed equally between Muslims and Christians to allow expatriates, from their residence, to register their names for the ballot to 128 deputies according to their personal restrictions in the deletion regulations, and on the other hand, the Shiite duo and the “Free Patriotic Movement” insist on The application of Article 112 after it was included once in the previous elections, in order to make the field to represent the Lebanese alienation, and that whoever wants to vote for 128 deputies must come to Lebanon to exercise his democratic right to vote.

It is not likely that the scheduled meeting of the sub -committee in the coming hours will achieve any progress, with the exception of the initiative of the political assistant to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ali Hassan Khalil, to turn the table in the face of the opposition that is a majority in Parliament. According to parliamentary sources, to Asharq Al -Awsat, the initiative is an invitation to complete the implementation of the Taif Agreement, starting with Article 22 of the Constitution, and stipulates the election of the Senate on a sectarian basis, and a parliamentary council from outside the sectarian registration to form the National Authority for the abolition of political sectarianism, on the pretext that everyone demands the implementation of the constitution, so what is the objection to the initiation of it?
However, it is expected that the position of MP Khalil will meet with a strict position on the opposition that is entrenched behind the abolition of Article 112 of the law, and the parliament calls for a legislative session specialized to consider the proposed amendments, most notably the proposal of the repeated accelerated law that it submitted in this regard.
However, the discussion within the sub -committee is nothing but a “cook with a quotation”, that is, it is not useful, and it is necessary to finally resort to the Parliament in Parliament to resolve the dispute that is still difficult, unless there is a change in positions leading to the opposition and the bilateral meeting, and with it the “national trend”, in the middle of the road to remove the election law from the crisis to ensure preparation for logistical and administrative preparations to hold parliamentary elections in the date of the spring of 2026.
The fate of the parliamentary entitlement can only be read through what the communications will lead to, specifically between adults from outside the committee to resolve the situation regarding the amendments proposed to the law in conjunction with the Lebanese efforts made internationally and Arably to pressure the United States of America to compel Israel to withdraw from the south, and in the event that it is not possible, there is no objection to it to intervene to stop its attacks and breaches throughout the long electoral day, along with what happened in what happened in Municipal elections.
The Lebanese move towards the United States to provide a safe atmosphere to hold the elections to embarrass them in front of the international community unless it responds to the state’s desire in this regard, otherwise how it reconciles its insistence on holding the elections on time to complete the formation of power and not pressure it on Israel, especially since the American administration, as Western diplomatic sources deal with the parliamentary entitlement as a station to make a change in parliament note the transformations that took place in Lebanon, And the region.
President Aoun stands in the face of those who are betting on the deportation of the elections for a later date, and he is not in indulgence regarding what is going on in a whisper about its postponement, and that holding the elections from his point of view progresses on their deportation in light of the exchange of some political forces accusations about their deportation, although most of the one goal that lies in the extension of the current parliament other than what it claims in public, to avoid embarrassment in front of its popular rules. Looking to change.
Therefore, there is no room for the extension that remains from the seventh impossible unless security factors are not taken into account, and it is difficult to control it, such as if Israel resorted to expanding its war by targeting Hizbullah on a large scale, and this is what concerns the pillars of the state who are calculated from now on what can be submitted to it, and they are unanimous in obliging it to accompany the steps to provide the safe atmosphere to pass the parliamentary entitlement, and this is what leads to their communication With the American administration.
