- Title
VERS UNE POLARISATION DURABLE DE LA VIE POLITIQUE LIBANAISE?
- Authors
Berthelot, Pierre
- Abstract
Lebanese parliamentary elections of june 2009 appear to have established a polarization between "the pro-western" majority, and opposition considered close to the syrian-iranian axis. We must remain cautious about these recent political evolution in a country accustomed to reversals of alliances, and it appears therefore appropriate to wonder about its durability. To better evaluate this prospect, a development will initially be reserved to the alliance tied within the opposition since 2006 between the Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement of Michel Aoun. For "the majority", it would be wrong to declare victory too soon, since without the support of Walid Jumblatt, the druze leader, it could become very weak, as he has gradually taken away from his old friends.
