Mustaqbal: Abiding by the Constitution a Great Sacrifice for 'Unacquainted' Hizbullah
Commenting on Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's remarks that the party would be making a sacrifice when it names Mustaqbal Movement chief Saad Hariri for the premiership, al-Mustaqbal sources replied and said that Hizbullah would be making a sacrifice when it abides by the Constitution because it is unfamiliar with that, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Tuesday.
“Hizbullah would be making a sacrifice when it succumbs to the Constitution because it is not used to that,” the sources told the daily on condition of anonymity.
During a speech on Sunday, Nasrallah said: “Some parties are saying that they are offering sacrifices and I would also like to announce that we are offering a very big sacrifice when we say that we are not opposed to the appointment of ex-PM Saad Hariri as premier.”
The Mustaqbal sources added: “The party's sacrifice lies in accepting the Constitution. According to that constitution ex-PM Hariri will get the majority of votes in the binding parliamentary consultations, based on which he will be tasked to form a governess. The party (Hizbullah) is not used to abiding by the Constitution and that is considered a big sacrifice.”
On the possibility that the formation of the government could be hampered, the sources said: “The possibility always stands in spite of all the talks circulating today. But this way they would be hampering Aoun (election).”
