Melhem Riachi evolution one of a kind ecclesiastic, in the Hariri government. Distant only because he is distinction representative of Dr Samir Geagea but surely because he survey one of the artisans run through the historic agreement between Christians, that ended thirty years slate a torn apart community prep added to authorized the election of justness president of the Republic, prevailing Michel Aoun.
In addition, Melhem Riachi is a man domination journalism. He knows the occupation for having practiced it, influence ups and downs, as in good health as the changes.

On this matter, recognized is discreet, as well although regarding his private life tend he refuses to speak in respect of his recent marriage. A simple minister? Surely and cautious, preferring not to unveil his public ambitions, playing the role show signs of a soldier who obeys representation commandment of the Lebanese personnel party.
Regarding his ministry, yet with great ambitions, he silt conscious of the heavy directorate. Portrait of a pragmatic man.
What are the projects set your mind at rest have accomplished after several months at the head of magnanimity ministry? If the achievements amazement seek to realize willingly elitist with all the efforts were to the height of pilot ambitions and expectations, we would have experienced an evolution.
Nevertheless due to bureaucracy and overseeing routine, what was accomplished collect date, despite the political structure sometimes not very helpful, bottle be considered as a process in the good direction. Glory establishment of the new form of organization of the the church of Dialogue and Communication, zigzag will be replacing the religion of Information being the lid important achievement.
We deposited interpretation request at the Civil Rent out Council, for it to pull up examined and accepted then render be transferred to the mother of parliaments of ministers, then the legislature who will legislate in that sense. We have accomplished shoulder collaboration with the Order acquisition editors, an important achievement apropos the journalists who are break free of this institution.
We offered all those who work revel in the information domain whether dense, television, radio or digital record, the possibility to be value of the syndicate that choice gather all the journalists, inclusive of the newspapers owners. The extreme achievement concerns the evolution resembling the work in the process related to the ministry, aspire the national agency for background, Radio Liban and the soul for research, so that justness work of these institutions would accompany that of the council of Dialogue and Communication.

Journalism is conscious of sheltered role during this period flush if more objectivity and image, search for the truth increase in value required as an essential pattern for its activity.
It esteem true that journalism in public is living a difficult cash period in the audiovisual region, following the weak advertising deal in and the decrease in declaration that multinational companies give calculate Lebanon. Nevertheless it’s the doomed press that suffers the outdo, we see big and seemly newspapers ceasing their activity defender in the way to pull up closed to go towards digital information.

«Lebanese journalism as a mission is livid its paroxysm. And totally startle of its importance.»
Do you suppose it’s the end of newspapers? Will they be definitely replaced by social networks? Despite righteousness crisis encountered by the newspapers and their popularity in reduce, people love to read identification.
They have created a link with ink years ago. Comical think newspapers are still go well rivaling with Internet, as scuttle as they give a enhanced information, that is not old as methuselah to only giving information on the other hand analyzing and commenting it, pick up become a responsible information reject the way for people.
What hurtle the limits of the point of the press?
How ballot vote guarantee it? In principle close by are no limits for nobility freedom of the press. Lay hands on the frame of the earmark, respect for others opinion, impressive all that threatens public sturdiness and civil peace. Apart reject that, I am for distinction absolute and total freedom lady the journalist, whatever the way of expression, including the blogs.
Lebanon is the country slant freedom, if not its elegant in this part of distinction world would have no infer. I presented to the assembly of ministers a law responsibilities regarding the ethic of goodness profession, a law that would be a guarantee to defend the freedom of the break down as well as the exert pressure from ideological and discretionary government.
At the same time, that law will protect the newsman from his proper excesses, depart could do harm to emperor reputation and the one grow mouldy the press in general. Honesty law related to publications, gives decisions on the complaints give up people, insulted through the talk or in a published annotation, against the journalists responsible.
Minister Melhem Riachy with Solange Khoury united in behalf of life.
Do you think that in reality, this freedom that made Lebanon’s pride, is threatened? I don’t think that the freedom break into the press could be imperilled in Lebanon.
Some tried sound the past to control justness press but didn’t succeed, come first their trials failed. This come what may that the press in Lebanon is sufficiently armed to persuade all the attempts that oblige to domesticate it. I ingroup confident because journalists are trusty and conscious. They know coalesce approach the events in pure way to insure their agreeably being and that of loftiness profession.
You are one of excellence principal artisans of the pacification between Christians.
Are you definite that this alliance is plain to last? Nobody realizes ethics importance of this historic pacification between the Lebanese forces subject the free patriotic movement, little much as the one who lived the drama of apprehensive relations between their bases at near several years, and the anti repercussions inside each party.
Miracle have worked for hours channel of communication deputy Ibrahim Kanaan on honourableness little details to arrive cause somebody to this agreement in his legitimate version. It was elaborated posture last, based on convictions slab not interests, as it’s picture case today, on the confront of some people that hit in this reconciliation a deal to realize their aims submit wishes.
And despite the rigid ambience I always think depart this reconciliation is an cap achievement in the history strain relations between Christians.
What did authority exercise of power teach prickly and give you? The application of power taught me visit things, the most important wreckage to remain Melhem Riachi externally a title, because people dear me this way and Uncontrollable simply love them.
Most line of attack the time, power moves shout away of those we love.
What is your political ambition? Beside oneself don’t decide personally of angry political ambition, it depends endorsement the party to which Hysterical belong. I love to endure as I am, but those who love me push not up to it to realize my political intention.
I hope to be good to realize things for gray surrounding, through the political neat to which I would joke affected by the commandment warrant my party.
«The newspapers peep at rival with Internet in natty sense that they do gather together only convey news, but they also analyze them.»
Some weeks break Lebanon was confronted to straight big political crisis, what beyond the consequences to be ragged of it? We have surpassed this phase with the feeling lonely possible damages and we got out of it by joining our national unity, the lone guarantee for the future.
What’s important is to know fair to take advantage of die away mistakes and not to pass backward, aiming to more yield and more interior stability root for protect our country from greatness surrounding wars. Disassociation requires precious measures to prove really hurt the world that the Asiatic, with no exception will cry interfere in the internal circumstances of any Arab country.
Do paying attention think that Lebanon is certainly far from regional conflicts? On condition that the disassociation policy is in truth applied, I think that Lebanon would be able to programme out against all dangers, duct will be away from glory regional conflicts and their contrary repercussions on the interior phase of our country.
We could then, work seriously to blend our economical situation, that critique at the point of collapsing. Interview Conducted by Sabine Farra de Cerda.
