There are no signs of a political solution soon .. Demonstrations in Lebanon begin its second month

With the completion of the demonstrations calling for the departure of the political class in its first month, the political crisis stalled in Lebanon without any signs of a solution soon, especially after the withdrawal of the name of the former minister Mohammed Safadi from circulation to form a new government under the pressure of the street and the exchange of political forces charges of obstruction.

Thousands of Lebanese took to the streets Sunday afternoon in downtown Beirut, Tripoli, Minieh in the north, Sidon and Nabatiyeh in the south, and Taalabia east under the title "One of the Martyrs", in honor of two demonstrators killed since the protests began, the latest on Tuesday, sparking widespread public anger.

According to analysts, the pillars of the authority have difficulty finding a candidate for prime minister to ensure their interests.

Leaks and charges
The popular resentment was exacerbated by leaks and statements a few days ago which confirmed the agreement of the main political forces in the country to assign former minister Mohammed Safadi (75 years) to form a government, before the start of consultations under the Constitution.

In the wake of popular outrage, Safadi, a prominent businessman and wealthy in Lebanon, asked in a statement on Saturday night to withdraw his name from circulation as one of the candidates for prime minister, hoping to entrust the caretaker Prime Minister Saad Hariri again.

In a statement Sunday, Hariri accused the Free Patriotic Movement, headed by Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, the brother-in-law of Lebanese President Michel Aoun, of "maneuvering and leaks and trying to score points."

Aoun had proposed in a television interview on Tuesday the formation of a "technocratic" government, and spoke in a tone that the demonstrators considered "provocative", criticizing the lack of leaders representing the demonstrators to dialogue with the authority, at a time when the protesters boast that their movement is spontaneous and inclusive and reject any dialogue with the current authority.

Following Aoun's proposal, demonstrators poured into the streets and cut off major roads in the country, before the army intervened to open them by force and stopped many protesters.

In his first position since the start of the protests, army chief General Joseph Aoun said that "blocking the road is not allowed," adding that the arrests "included elements who caused riots and confronted the army and tried to prevent him from carrying out his mission and was subjected to it."

Weak economic situation
The political crisis is accompanied by a very poor economic situation and a financial crisis with which the exchange rate of the lira against the dollar on the black market exceeded 1800 pounds, after it was established for decades at 1507.

After the closure of two weeks on the impact of the protests, banks opened their doors at the beginning of this month for only one week, and imposed more stringent measures to sell the dollar, and then closed two days under the pretext of public holiday.

Bank employees have been conducting an open strike since Tuesday to protest problems with citizens wishing to withdraw funds from their deposits. Citizens can no longer get the dollar from an ATM.

Schools and universities also closed completely during the first two weeks of demonstrations before intermittently opening them to their students in the last two weeks.
