Raad: Hizbullah and AMAL Not Providing Political Cover for Construction Violations
The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad described on Friday the construction violations on public property as “shameful”, saying no one can protect any side that had carried out such illegal activity.
He added: “The current chaos cannot be justified or defended … AMAL and Hizbullah have not provided political cover to the violations.”
“It’s true that we live in the midst of political and sectarian disputes, but that does not justify harming national values and we should uncover the real reasons behind the violations,” he stressed.
The MP stated that political cover was granted to establish some residential units in some areas, which drove the security forces to turn a blind eye to the construction.
Addressing the government formation process, Raad said: “The delay in the formation is proof of their lies because if the government were led by Hizbullah, it would have been formed a long time ago.”
“If it were a one-sided government, we wouldn’t be embroiled in disputes over the distribution of portfolios,” he continued.
“It’s only normal for a country going through crises to witness a long formation process,” he noted.
Raad added however that the regional developments require that a new government be formed soon.
“We have achieved great progress in the formation, but the dispute over the Interior Ministry is the main obstacle,” he revealed.
