The Speaker of the Libyan Council reveals the way out of the crisis and sets red lines: No formal reconciliation and no state without law

Tripoli –The head of the Libyan Presidential Council confirmedMuhammad Al-ManfiLibya needs real national reconciliation based on justice and fairness, rejecting what he described as formal reconciliation that does not establish the rule of law and does not address the roots of the crisis.

Al-Manfi explained, during a speech he delivered in the city of Zawiya in front of activities from the coast and the Western Mountain, that reconciliation is not an emotional speech, but rather a comprehensive practical path that does not exclude any component, and ensures that the door to return and reform is opened to all Libyans, within the framework of the rule of law and the unity of the state.

Regarding the economic aspect, the President of the Presidential Council announced the formation of a specialized committee to control public spending, with the aim of stopping “uncontrolled spending,” closing outlets for waste, and providing binding practical recommendations, warning that the continuation of high spending without tangible results constitutes a direct danger to the country’s future.

He pointed out that the Libyan citizen is directly affected by a dysfunctional economic reality, manifested in declining purchasing power, exchange rate fluctuations, and weak services, stressing that transparency and accountability are a prerequisite for restoring confidence.

Politically, Al-Manfi warned that Libya stands at a crossroads, in light of the escalation of external interference and the continuation of internal division, considering that the options have become clear between building a state with an independent national decision, or continuing in a state of chaos and multiple centers of influence.

In this context, he stressed the rejection of dual application of the law, stressing that “there is no state without one law that applies to everyone,” and calling for a transition from the legitimacy of weapons to the legitimacy of the people, and from crisis management to state management.

Regarding the oil file, Al-Manfi considered that oil wealth represents “the future of generations, not spoils,” calling for it to be managed with the mind of the state, ensuring transparency and governance in revenues and contracts, and not being involved in unclear deals.

He also renewed his support for any political path that leads to a national solution with Libyan ownership and decision-making, through fair elections, unified institutions, and a constitution or constitutional rule that ends the repeated transitional stages, stressing that the criterion for the success of any initiative is that it serves the interest of Libya.

This position comes at a time when the political process is still facing multiple obstacles, linked to institutional division and the faltering electoral process, amid increasing calls to build a comprehensive national consensus that will end the state of transition and establish lasting stability.
