TripoliThe Libyan crisis may ostensibly appear as a set of constitutional and political complications, but what it hides is more interconnected than it seems, because to pull a wire of its fabric can disperse the whole scene, just as in the domino stones which wait for a touch to collapse.
In this context, the three decrees published recently by the president of the presidential council in Libya, Mohamed Al -Mennafi – concerning the Constitutional Court, the Conference of reconciliation and the training of the referendum committee – have raised questions on the extent of the legitimacy of its powers, and the limits of the authorization granted to it in the absence of a clear constitutional framework.
These decrees occurred at a time when indicators of prudent rapprochement intersect between the House of Representatives and the Supreme Council of State, in the midst of international efforts to reveal the results of the Advisory Committee, despite the contradictions that have not yet been decided.
Controversial
In his conversation with Al -jazeera Net -a member of the Supreme Council of State, Amina Al -Mahjoub, describes exile ceremonies as “mono and summary of any constitutional coverage”, considering that it has no legal impact in the light of the existence of an existing legislative authority.
As for the member of the House of Representatives, Abdel Moneim El -Arfi, it is considered that these decrees “do not have legal capacity” and have revealed parliamentary movements to respond and reject them completely and in detail.
The representative Ali Al -uwaih also saw that certain decrees are acceptable in principle, but he has reserved the way in which they were issued individually without compatibility between the parties, in particular the members of the presidential council themselves.
In turn, the legal academic, Faisal Al -Sharif, described all the current political entities – including the Parliament – as illegal, recalling that the mandate of the Parliament ended after a year and a half of its election and has no right to extend without popular referendum, considering that what occurs represents a “violation of the constitutional declaration and political agreements”.
Understand on the horizon
Despite the differences, the political understanding indicators have become imminent between the House of Representatives and the State, with an escalation of talking about the formation of a unified government as a central priority.
Representative Abdel Nabi Abdel -Mawla – in Al Jazeera Net – said that understanding between the two councils is “real”, and should form a unified government by June, noting that the Supreme Council of State is involved in a national joint project with Parliament.
For her part, Amina Al -Mahjoub confirmed the existence of advanced political communication between the two councils, considering that the push towards the formation of a unified government is seriously discussed, with the circulation of candidates for its presidency.
A member of the Council of State, Ahmed Naqi, told Al -jazeera Net – that the consensus between the two councils was no longer a political choice, but rather an “inevitable right”, to adopt the political agreement, share sovereign positions, examine economic and financial policies and start a complete reform path.
However, the decision of the Supreme Council of the State AL -Qasim Debraz violated this proposal, noting that there are no serious indicators of consensus on controversial materials, in particular linked to the conditions of candidacy, accusing the Parliament of adhering to “detailed criteria on the size of specific personalities”, which is categorically rejected by the Council of State.
Controversy over the presidency
In the midst of the current movement, the legitimacy of the Presidency of the Council of State was also raised, as the member of the Council Muhammad Takala – in a televised speech – called for early elections for the council of the presidency of the council.
Yesterday, an advisory meeting took place to discuss the initiative and union mechanisms of the Council before next August, which was seen by the customary deputy a bridge to form a new executive government leading to an electoral law.
On the other hand, the possibility of the birth of a new executive government has not been excluded, neither under the auspices of understanding between the two advice nor in a compromise formula.
Representative Abdel Moneim El -Arfi said that the transgression of the Presidency of the Council of State will open the way to the formation of a new executive government this year, adding that some of the candidates have already obtained the required zakat.
In turn, it was not excluded to purify the possibility of offering the option of “coordination government” as a realistic regulation to overcome the division, provided that it is not a bridge to reproduce the current bodies, but rather a tool to reduce the gap between the two authorities.
Decisive proposals
With regard to disputes within the advisory committee of the United Nations support mission in Libya, a special source for Al -jazeera Net revealed that discussions within the committee were not controversial in the traditional sense, but were rather characterized by a difference in the order of priorities, indicating that the recommendations were limited to 3 main tracks:
- The first piece suggests that the presidential and parliamentary elections are maintained together, with a disengagement between their results.
- The second track only requires parliamentary elections.
- The third track suggests that current organizations are completely overcome and go to the formation of new political structures in full regulations.
Political analyst Farah Farkash believes that the movements of the presidential council and the recent parliament are a kind of anticipation of the results of the consulting committee, in the light of leaks on the possibility of proposing the cancellation of the presidential council or the call for separate parliamentary elections.
In his speech in Al -jazeera Net – Farkash stressed that certain parties seek to link the legislative elections to presidential law, despite the impossibility of this in the light of security and political division, and intruders of dialectical candidates, which can maintain the equation like them and the age of existing institutions.
