Lebanese people fear that what lies ahead in their future could be worse than the hell predicted by President Michel Aoun or the "mental asylum" sung about by caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati the day before yesterday. The question arises: "Is there anything worse than hell or madness?" A source close to the situation answers that the worst part of bad situations is their continuation.
In the face of the equation of bad and worse, hell and madness, the government crisis continues to swing in a state of waiting, with neither the designated president retracting the cabinet lineup he submitted to the president, nor the president accepting this lineup. Meanwhile, Lebanon, as a state, is left to its fate, held captive by foreign interests, with no identity cards or official papers. Passports are on hold pending funding, the judiciary is lamenting its fate, and the administration is on strike, leaving only the name of the state and its people's attachment to it, along with the support of its neighbors.
Perhaps for the first time in Lebanon's history, there will be no salaries for public sector employees, who number over 300,000, for the month of July, due to a lack of financial collection and the cessation of expenditure management at the Ministry of Finance in preparing the tables. It seems that someone suggested to Mikati the idea of resigning, similar to what former Prime Minister Saad Hariri did, but the response was a refusal to provide free gifts to either MP Gebran Bassil or anyone else.
