LibanVote
created a modern news concept that distinguishes it from any
other news net elsewhere.
Our
news section is different because of its specialization, as
LibanVote
is concerned with the
Elections
2000, the news will, consequently, be specialized in this
important field event.
Our
electoral up-to date news will deeply focus on all electoral
details, candidates, and actualities. In addition, the news
will bear summary of the captioned news of the leading press
media in Lebanon plus special reports collected by
LibanVote
representatives including summarized electoral news in all
areas.

Significant
Incidents:
-
Larsen
dealt group of matters with the Lebanese officials, all
focussing on the situation of the International troops,
the conference of the Granting Countries, and the
treatment of the violations. Lebanon had not requested the
deployment of the troops in the South, as discussions had
not focussed on these points, contrary to what was said
before his arrival to Lebanon.
-
Medias
following-up Larsen's trip, said that the atmosphere was
very good, as it was expected that the conversations might
be governed by the matters that were incited by Larsen, in
the past, which led to the Lebanese rejection, claiming
his attitude as being biased to Israel.
-
Those
medias saw that the International Envoy bore nothing that
contradicts the basic blue line drawn by UN on the border.
He had not submitted any new blue line that differs in
points from the basic line. He called for treating the
violations, as the situation in the South would not be
calm unless these violations are effectively treated.
-
On
the other hand, the topic of the conference of the
Granting Countries was reflected positively through
Larsen's point of view, despite the American declarations,
which oppose convening this conference before the
deployment of the Lebanese Army in the South.
-
Furthermore,
other files were kept capturing the attention and concern,
particularly those connected with the living situation,
and the movement that General Workers Confederation
organizes, in addition to the problems of Electricity and
the project of uniting the ministries and councils. On the
top of all stays the topic of legislative elections.
Press
News:
-
An-nahar
considered Larsen's visit being decisive to remove all the
violations and to deploy the International Troops. The
results might not be revealed directly, but, as this
newspaper said, that the new positive climate which
appeared during the meetings between Larsen and the
Lebanese officials, would be interpreted positively on
ground, despite some parties' look at these fundamental
files, especially the conference of the Granting Countries
for Re-constructing the South.
-
The
Future newspaper pursued the elections file, presented
reports for many electoral districts, and noticed
disparate interests for acquiring the electoral card in
Kharroub Region/Chouf, and the 'crossing out' lists appear
as if they are many years back, due to their increasing
mistakes. This newspaper, on the situation of the Islamic
Group also presented a report, as it experienced
individual members' nomination. In Keserwan-Jbeil, Future
newspaper noticed the existence of two strong lists, this
means that no chance exists for coalition.
-
As-safir
queried about the Lebanese attitude towards the files,
which Larsen proposes, especially those related to the
blue line, and whether Lebanon could work on having it
remained fixed after removing the Israeli violations. This
newspaper saw that Israel prepares itself for other
procedures on the border, most of which are security-wise,
and considered the International call for deploying the
Army in the South will resume, from outside and inside,
affirming that the official attitude still hangs on its
fundamental points of view.
