Why is the results of municipal elections in southern Lebanon important? – Mehr News Agency Iranian and world news

According to RCO News Agency, “Mohammad Ahmad Noureddin“The election of the local councils is not just a common process for local manageme, and is a sensitive position in consolidating resistance, resistance, ideity and public will against various military, economic and social challenges,” the head of the Qalayeh Tower in southern Lebanon wrote. In this election, the Litani region in southern Lebanon, a region of special historical and political features that have long been a symbol of Lebanese resistance and nationalism, gave a meaningful vote.

1. The historical and political coext of the elections in the south

South Litani is not only a geographical area, but a historical symbol of suffering. The area has repeatedly paid heavy costs in defense of Lebanese sovereigy and support for the Palestinian cause against the rape and occupation of the Zionist regime. In such a hospital, and given the rece developmes in the region, the results of the council elections in the region were not just a democratic procedure.

The election results were the manifestation of the political will of the resistance and the renewal of the national ideity. The election was held after a complex period. On the one hand, we were faced with repeated rape of the Zionist regime, the last of which only two days before the election, with more than five pois in the south targeted air strikes. On the other hand, with the severe economic crisis that caused many people’s homes and sources of income. This led to many domestic and foreign migrations. The widespread destruction of infrastructure, including roads, buildings, schools and hospitals, and social crises that directly and socially and half the population are socially and economically influenced by these complexities.

2. Election results and analyzes it

Despite all these challenges, the public participation in the election has become a national and political message. In the election, “Developme and Loyalty” lists (affiliated with the Moveme and Hezbollah in Lebanon) participated in four southern municipalities. These lists won in four municipalities (without competition), while this figure was only four municipalities in year 2. This reflective growth reflects people’s widespread support for the path of resistance and developme. These victories were also repeated in large municipalities to express a general consensus in supporting developme within the coext of resistance. Even competitors or candidates nominated against the resistance list rose from the same resistance bed. They had differe views in the local administration, which shows the diversity of healthy iravenity.

1. Partnership quality analysis and existing challenges

Despite the widespread destruction of the region and the displaceme of the people, many people returned to their villages from cities such as Beirut, Sida, Nabatieh and Tire to support the list of resistance and developme. In some villages that were almost completely destroyed and the voting area was held in the dista villages, people had a passionate presence. This reflects their adherence to their land.

1. Reconstruction priority after election

One of the key messages of the election is to prioritize reconstruction. More than a third of the inhabitas are directly damaged by the war and half are socially affected. It is necessary for a national campaign to start rebuilding. The campaign should include “rebuilding houses and public and private institutions, supporting small developme, agricultural and economic projects, revitalizing labor market and economic rotation, and directing direct funding to damaged villages through municipal funds.” This process should be long -term and stable and can be seen as part of resistance.

1. The characteristic of the selected elite and the need for institutional support

In this election, the composition of the candidates changed, as many capable economic or expert people were unable to engage or immigrate from the area due to field conditions. Most selected municipalities need training, empowerme and technical and managerial support to carry out the heavy post -war responsibilities. This responsibility includes “launching support programs by ministries and ceral institutions, holding training courses for local forces, and legal and financial empowerme of municipalities” to effectively perform their duties.

1. Municipalities as social shields and institution of resistance

Municipalities are not only executive agencies, but are now the ceer of social organization, enhancing cultural and national ideity, a bridge between the people and the governme, and the institution of resistance to rape, poverty and disregard. Municipalities are the backbone of the local community and their strengthening should be a priority.

Political reading of the elections

Elections in southern Lebanon were not merely a democratic eve, but a popular confroation with rape, emphasizing the path of resistance and calling for the southern reconstruction. People proved that bombing, displaceme and poverty could not break their will. The people also se a message to the Lebanese governme and the iernational community that we are in favor, but we need real participation and practical support to rebuild our lives.

The diversity of views between the resistance forces and the competition over local manageme indicates iernal political maturity. I believe that this situation should not only be considered a threat, which must necessarily be strengthened.
Finally, the South Reconstruction Project should begin immediately. This reconstruction must be comprehensive, fair and sustainable to transform this electoral resistance io economic and developmeal resistance and protect the land and the people and consolidate not only as a response to rape, but as a way to live.
