Aoun Says Some Seeking to 'Impose President' after 'Usurping Power' since 2005
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Monday accused some political forces of seeking to “impose a president” on the country, stressing that he “will not join those who have been usurping power” since 2005.
"Our resistance confirmed our right to Lebanon's existence, and this is what happened on March 14, 2005, but unfortunately, parties that never ruled according to these values rose to power, and they moved from one hegemony to another," Aoun said in a speech marking the 24th anniversary of his ouster from the Baabda Palace following a Syrian-led offensive.
"I told you that preserving independence is harder than gaining it, but these remarks went down the drain, and Lebanon's rulers continued to receive orders and diktats from many sources, violating the charter of national coexistence, usurping the powers of an entire sect and electing a Christian president who is not truly representative," Aoun added.
He lamented that proper Christian representation is missing in parliament and in the presidency.
"There is a majority which extended its own term and is preparing us for a new extension" of the parliament's term, Aoun added.
"There is a group that wants to impose the president while rejecting that he be elected by the people," the FPM leader went on to say, referring to his controversial proposal on electing the president through a popular vote.
Turning to the issue of parliamentary polls, Aoun said the electoral law endorsed in the advanced countries "is the law based on the individual constituency."
"Since its implementation in Lebanon is impossible due to the confessional system, our only choice is proportional representation," he pointed out.
He noted that the issue of the presidency is "the issue of a sect which is being denied its right to be like the other sects."
"Amid these circumstances, are we supposed to join those who usurped power (in 2005) and rejected the participation of others?" Aoun added.
Commenting on the security situations, the FPM leader warned that Lebanon is facing "impending dangers," noting that the country "has been drowned with the (Syrian) refugees."
"A part of its land has become under the control of takfiri groups whom have been condemned by the entire world, and yet we're still hearing remarks from certain parties that any military measure against them would be tantamount to sparking sedition," Aoun decried.
He called on all Lebanese to "stand shoulder to shoulder in the face of these forces, which have kidnapped hostages and entangled the government with conditions that are not clear until the moment."
"Let us remember the beginning of the Syrian war and the stances of the then Lebanese government, which claimed self-dissociation and left the border loose, the thing that allowed the gunmen and the refugees to violate it," Aoun added.

funny how he called "our resistance" a "terrorist" party for decades...
funny while he said for years " there is no shame in asking for the help of the USA" he now accuses others of wanting their help....
ah! money make one man change.... and the worst part is his followers who refuse to see his hypocrisy....

Good stuff peace and M11. Knowing everyone else will vote for extension, he can vote against it to look good for his supporters. But he wants extension, otherwise he won't have as many seats in the new Parliament. The loss of seats might break his ability to boycott the presidential election.

Politics is the chemistry. What differs good politic from bad is the outcome of the reaction. What differs political reactions in the Middle East to those actions/reactions in the West is the civil rights and the cost of life. Where, the political carrier and the failure are controlled by corruption case, Monica's cases, and some "idiot" office mistake. While in the East, the natural chemistry must go parallel with war, death, conflict. What I have learned in school that any war begins with resolution. As far as I see, Iraqi refugee second migration from Syria to Iraq, flee of Chaldean's from Iraq, sold properties in Iraq, Palestinian chaos in Damascus suburbs, Kurd case now near Turkey border. Are the points of interest, the outcomes of the real cause of the war. ( See next)

Continued ..............For Lebanon, following the French school of patriotism, General Aoun's ouster from Baabda, and return to Lebanon consolidated power, made Christian political voice stronger, brought balance and value. Because according to the Colonial Agenda, Hariri had to bring money and peace, bribe criminals, and militias' leaders. Following the same chemistry reaction, he is gone but he brought political movement, reconsolidate movement, platform for stronger left and right wings of political life. So typical French school of thoughts. You got it. Stop blame, think twice.

Looool warned of a deal???? So why was Aoun the only one who said a deal was in place, then Berri admirably said "we only work above the table" then Hariri denied a deal was in place, contrary to Aoun's belief?

http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/147820 Berri no under-the-table deal
Please explain Flamey, how Aoun "warned" of a deal, and it just so happened that he was the only one to announce this "deal"

You have to admire this partnership of distraction and destruction, HA turned the catastrophic war of 2006 into a Devine victory and now Aoun wants to turn his cowardice desertion after the Syrians invaded into a divine desertion.

The mono-neurones never answer a question or acknowledge a fact...their answer is: "you are M14" or :"you are fanatics" or "you hate him so much" . But this is Not the problem. Did I hate ennemies like Arafat, Assad, Bashar, Sharon...of course I did. Because they were destroying ly country. SO IS THIS TRAITOR.

How dare they "usurp power" by winning the elections!!!
This is a travesty!
Unless he is talking about his own political camp who usurped power when they:
1. Blocked Parliament for 18 months in 2006
2. Blocked the election of President in 2007
3. Attacked the government and forced it from power on May 7 2008
4. Forced the winners of 2005 elections to give them Veto Power
5. Illegally ousted the Hariri 2011 government over "false witnesses", an issue never to be heard from again
6. Changed Parliamentary majority in 2011 by intimidating Jumblatt with black shirt goons
7. Blocked the election of President again in 2014
8. Murdered former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri
9. Diregarded the Baabda Policy
10. Murdered other M14 leaders: Gemayel, Tueni, Kassir, Hawi, Chatah, Eid, Al Hassan, Eido, Ghanem, etc

Hey Israeli cock. Action speaks louder than words, you should watch out for your health, it is not healthy to be angry on the internet.
