Al Sayyed Hassan Nasrollah … two current constants: Coordinate with the Syrian government… and no for taxes
Written by Nasser Kandil,
Among his fixed attitudes defending the system of relativity which achieves the fairness or suggesting “give us your alternative”, in addition to his clear readings of the variables of the US administration which will not change anything the Secretary-General of Hezbollah Al Sayyed Hassan Nasrollah talked about two current duties one is Lebanese and regional duty that is related to the position of Hezbollah and its responsibilities within its concept of the partnership in the war in Syria, entitled a practical plan to solve the issue of the displaced, and in the second duty Hezbollah determines its initial red line in the financial and social policies, and thus the identity of the Lebanese system, it is entitled no new taxes.
In the issue of the displaced Al Sayyed Hassan Nasrollah surpasses the talk about the hypotheses that worth discovering, he also ignored the debated language for responding to his opponents. According to what he said the words of the Lebanese government and the political parties concerning the issue of the displaced are no longer a reason for warning from the threat of relocation and the humanitarian tragedy, they only related to the begging and the political hypocrisy. The issue in which Al Sayyed participates and which they say that it has a burden on Lebanon and the Lebanese people is possible and must be solved through a Lebanese initiative according to a road map that was proposed simply by Al Sayyed Nasrollah, it begins with making communications with the Syrian government through the Lebanese government that has official contact committees with the Israelis through a truce, but refuses to make an official contact with the Syrian government. The continuation of the financial and political trading of the issue is no longer acceptable to be continued.
The road map includes a survey about the main areas of displacement from which the departing groups to Lebanon are formed, and the cooperation with the Syrian government to form three steps; first determining the degrees of the achieved security to ensure the conditions of the return and the settlements. Second, organizing delegations from this areas and joint committees between the residents and the displaced to present the guarantees for a good return and creating practical local conditions to achieve that. Third official Syrian and Lebanese committees in which Hezbollah is committed that it is ready to participate in them to put a temporal practical plans to start implementing the return on sequential stages.
In the second issue, Hezbollah and his Secretary-General start a new stage of dealing with the internal affairs, it is not a party for just the resistance, for just the resistance and presidency, and for just the resistance, presidency, and politics, it is a party for the people. Socially it biases for the poor, and in the concept of the sponsoring state that is against the liberalism as an approach, culture, and policies it has the left-wing trend and identity, it is ready to raise veto against the main characteristic of the liberal politics, saying no more new taxes, this is anticipated by the people, the experts, intellectuals and elites and those who are committed to the idea of the sponsoring state , who will raise it in front of what was included in the budget of the tax regulations that form burdens that the poor have no ability to bear them. If the Minister of Finance who belongs to the movement of the deprived at the time of the government of the consensus has to submit a budget that has some issues that belong to the era of the Prime Minister Fouad Al-Siniora as a tax for having a portfolio, then the support will come from the partner ally at the mouthpiece of the its Secretary-General, that these taxes will not be recorded on its history and the history of Amal Movement and that the government has to search for new resources to finance the needs of the budget.
