Geagea on New State Guardianship

Samir Geagea's article in his recent speech addressed an attempt to impose a new guardianship over the Lebanese state. He emphasized that his background is not genuinely rooted in protecting institutions and sovereignty, but rather in an attempt to control the state's decision-making and conduct its policies according to his personal vision and his party. The speech, which included orders and threats, was criticized for reflecting a tendency to seize power, placing the state within a framework lacking neutrality and decentralization, reducing it to a political project that imposes its will on institutions. The article also highlighted that Geagea deals with national issues from a mentality of "either you do as I want or you are complicit," and that his speech offers no real solutions or feasible vision. Instead, it reflects populist escalation and exploitation of the crisis. It was pointed out that building a state requires respecting the role and independence of institutions, not enforcing the will of a party or leader. Ultimately, Geagea's goal is for the state to be under his personal control.
