Geagea the reject, and the rejected
 

To escape facing the General Michel Aoun in the Christian areas, Geagea attempts to hunt 3 birds with one stone.

- It is not a coincidence that the Executive Leader of the Lebanese Forces eradicate his party from the electoral districts where the election battles will be confronting the lists of the President of the Change and Reform Bloc, General Michel Aoun, and it is not with ease that Geagea accepted for this “Quowati” exclusion to be in the benefit of the Phalange Party and "the Sheikh Amin Gemayel" with whom he is linked by a military conflict since the eighties.

Geagea excess generosity to step down from the majority of seats in the districts of Mount Lebanon and some other districts, has three interpretations according to lot of observers who believed that the chief of "forces" is trying to hit three birds with one stone:

The First, is not to put the "forces" candidates, who the majority of them are unknown as a result of Geagea repressive policy within the party, in direct confrontation, in any districts, with the Free Patriotic Movement candidates since the loss of the list led by the "forces" in Jbeil or Kesrewan or Metn or Baabda or Jezzine (taking into consideration that the forces cannot preside any list in Batroun, Koura and Northern Metn), means the fall of the “Forces” political draft in the Christian areas; Moreover, what if this fall was for the lists that include Phalanges and independent candidates backed by the “Forces”? (Of course before June 7, because after the fall the forces will quickly deny any relationship with these independent candidates.)

The Second interpretation is directly linked to the loss of the Phalanges candidates, which means a lot for the military commander who has a historically dream of eliminating the so-called phalanges; and the events of 1988 between both parties are the best evidence of these intentions.

The third explanation is for Geagea to benefit and exit these elections victorious after he selected candidates in districts where the electoral competition is considered by some observers, as almost non-existent due to the strongest presence of the Future movement and the Progressive Socialist Party, and what proves this explanation is Geagea’s nomination to “Wehbeh Qatiha” in Akkar in a pursuit to reserve a place on the list of MP Saad Hariri, and “George Adwan” in Chouf on the list of MP Walid Jumblatt, and “Farid Habib” in Kourah along with the Future candidates Farid Mkeri, Nicolas Ghosn, as well as the unresolved nomination of “Antoine Zahra” in Batroun, in addition to the only two logical nominations for the Forces in Bcherri.

A detailed presentation of the reality of the Forces nominations shows beyond any doubt, what Geagea is betting on in this upcoming elections, especially within the narrow “Alqwati – Phalanges” House.

However, the question posed by many members of the Forces today remains: Is the Chief Executive aware of the negative extent of such reality on the forces, that come under the banner of the future - Socialist leaders, and decided to offer politically as much as possible to his allies, who had him released from the prison of the Ministry of Defense using the amnesty law?
