The former Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab was not involved in any political party at the start of his life, because he put all his objective in his scientific success and his academic superiority until he obtained a doctorate in engineering IT of Great Britain.
According to Diab, in episode 2025/1/1925 of the program “The other side”, he refused to continue life in Great Britain because his trip was in order to end the study and not for stability.
After his return, he worked as a professor at the American University of Beirut Il.
Diab assumed the post of Minister of Education and Higher Education (2011-2013) in the government of Naguib Mikati, and his appointment was not motivated by the party sales, but rather because of his specialization in this area.
During its hypothesis of this position, the classification of education in Lebanon in science and mathematics increased to the fourth rank in the world among 144 countries, and it also increased to 13th in the field of management faculties.
The best government in Lebanon
Diab believes that these achievements in the field of education prompted certain symbols of Lebanese policy to push it to form the government (December 2019 – November 2020) when things have reached the full blocking stage.
When the government has taken over, Diab stipulated – as he says – former president Michel Aoun should be all the ministries of the technocrats of political quotas and tensions.
Diab thinks that his government was most specialized in the history of the country, and he joined a third of them as women and that he would go to the post of Deputy Prime Minister and the Ministry of Defense against women.
Diab took over the government in the light of a serious political and financial crisis and vast demonstrations, and raised the slogan of economic reform, but reality was much stronger than its ambitions.
He decided not to pay debt obligations, a decision that made him vulnerable to violent criticism after putting Lebanon in his worst economic crises, but he said that this decision was the best because Beirut did not not been able to pay its obligations.
Corruption from previous years
It was not the opinion of Diab, but it was the opinion of international institutions that put Lebanon in the pre-stumped phase, which led to the closure of banks in 2019 as a result of accumulations Dating from two previous decades, explains Diab.
In addition, the money that Lebanon has obtained conferences from Paris 1 and 2 did not go to the financial reform as it was supposed, because things went in the same direction, according to Diab, which indicated that Beirut has reached a very large shortage of capacity to pay, from 2011 to UP.
Consequently, Lebanon has not been able to fulfill its obligations due to the exhaustion of foreign reserves due to the inappropriate financial policies which have reached the country that it no longer had the minimum reserve which allows it to Plan your debts.
After an in -depth research which took 6 weeks, Diab reached a recovery plan based on borrowing from the International Monetary Fund, but it did not see the light because of the movement of political blocks against him, and the same plan was returned after 3 of the years to drop him, he said.
Diab believes that Lebanon as a country is the loser of these practices which do not take into account the financial situation of the country, stressing that the former governor of Lebanon Riad Salama has never interacted with the stages of the reform.
With regard to the demarcation of maritime borders with Israel, Diab said that the army is authorized by the party, starting with the demarcation of borders in cooperation with the government and other groups, noting that it has adopted the International standards which revealed that the southern borders of the southern borders of Lebanon End in point 29 and not 23.
Secrets require an investigation
But this question – as Diab says – has not been implemented, because the border demarcation agreement was signed in point 23 at the time of the Naguib Mikati government, which came after the Diab government, this which loses Lebanon about 601 thousand and 400 squares kilometers.
Diab resigned from his post, 5 days after the explosion of Beirut Port, which cost the lives of more than 218 people, and opened the doors of questions on the extent of his government’s responsibility for this disaster.
Diab said the explosion was the result of storing large quantities of ammonium nitrate for a period of 7 years, stressing that all security and military authorities were aware of this question, and no one thought there had a danger of these materials.
According to DAB, this file is full of incomprehensible circumstances, which require access and understanding of an independent judicial inquiry, because it is unreasonable for all international satellites not to photograph this incident.
In addition, 2,250 tonnes of ammonium nitrate were stored in the port had disappeared, and no one knew that day when these quantities went if the size of the explosion was only 500 tonnes, according to Diab.
Consequently, Diab says that his government was subject to the abandonment of political parties when he could not adopt the decision to change the governor of the Central Bank and when the economic recovery plan has been abandoned, but it decided to resign after the motivated epidemic of the port, he says, he says.
