Report: FPM Says Constitutional Council Decision Will Not Avert Vacuum
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Free Patriotic Movement of MP Michel Aoun criticized the Constitutional Council's decision to reject its appeal against the extension of parliament's term, saying that the highest judicial authority in Lebanon has failed, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Saturday.
Sources from the FPM told the daily: “The decision will not avert vacuum at state institutions.”
The council had said on Friday that it rejected the Change and Reform bloc's appeal in order to avoid vacuum at constitutional institutions.
“The ministers and lawmakers of the FPM will not resign from their posts,” continued the sources.
“There are better and more powerful methods” to confront the Constitutional Council decision, they added.
“With all respect to the council, we believe that the highest judicial authority has failed,” they stressed.
“All justifications of the council indicated that it will accept the appeal except for its final decision,” noted the FPM sources.
“Filling the vacuum lies in holding the parliamentary elections on time and respecting constitutional deadlines,” they stated.
The Constitutional Council rejected on Friday an appeal filed by the FPM against the extension of parliament's term.
It said that the rejection was aimed at avoiding prolonging vacuum at constitutional institutions.
The council remarked that the extension violates the constitution, “but the extraordinary circumstances Lebanon is passing through forced the council to reject the appeal.”
Aoun later deemed the decision as wrong.
The parliament extended its term earlier this month until June 2017 despite the boycott of the FPM and Kataeb MPs.
Two others voted against the law but 95 lawmakers extended their own terms for the second time, giving them a full eight years in power— double their allowed mandate.

there comes a time in someone's life where he has to own up to his mishaps and take ownership of their blunders. Something the fpm will never learn how to do.

The FPM, (Flame Powered Moaners) remain the one single worst impediment to the Lebanon returning back to its senses. They wills ell anyone and anything just to obtain all the favors needed to make of their sick old man Aon president of the republic. They will invent, concoct, fabricate, photoshop and deform anything just to hit you under the belly. Some FPMers who are too dependent on the money they make by being in the FPM, or those now too brain dead to change are doomed. Fortunately a big number have left this sick organization, maybe not necessarily shifting to other parties but left a party that is only here to distort and damage the brains of unsuspecting people. Look at the elections that are taking place in the country, the FPM is barely wining one of them, surest signs of a deceitful party in serious decline. No amount of NIETS here can change this fact.

Baroud is free to speak his mind, but in stark contrast, Baroud is a free man like most of us are as totally opposed and in total contrast to members of the FPM, they are brain dead and tied up by God knows what. You see the difference ya FT? Figure it out ya FT, evidence is here literally begging you to use it.

I am simply against your ways at mocking people, you referred to Eagle and Humble as paid propagandists, if they are, then you ya FT, what are you? Just let's focus on the issues, not the people who post, that degrades the very value of your argument.

Yeah you two, quit flaunting your riches and success around like that! You are making flamethrower jealous. He can only dream of getting paid 5$/hour, approx. He yearns for such exorbitantly high salary that goes with the higher IQs he lacks. Even thought the one plain mam2ousheh or plain ka3keh he gets for his 15/16 hour shifts here puts him head and shoulders above anyone in his clan, he's the success. In his Dahieh neighborhood he's known as Mr one percenter. He's the guy with the snazzy irregular secondhand 1987 Paul Jardin suit with two mismatched pants and polyester necktie (neckties are illegal there but I mention it just to showcase his successes).

“The ministers and lawmakers of the FPM will not resign from their posts”
Nov 9 2014 - Al-Rahi: The boycotting MPs should show their protest to the extension by announcing their resignations.
Who's making fun of FPM for challenging an illegal extension.
Oct 28 2014 - Suleiman Franjieh: The postponement of the parliamentary polls will inevitably take place. Some sides dare to say that they support the extension, while others hide behind political calculations.
Actually to be more precise Franjieh was not making fun of them, he was all but calling them hypocrites. So please everyone stop making fun of of FPM for challenging an illegal extension, call them what everyone knows they exactly are, hypocrites.

Hezbollah keeps saying Aoun is their candidate. Okay so if he is, why can't we go to Parliament and vote? Because of Henri Helou??? Loool whenever Hezbollah wants to make political gains they do it. They led the protests in 2006-08, then overran West Beirut just to keep their telecoms and stooge in the airport. They got a compromise president with a blocking third. Then they took down Hariri's cabinet by forcing Jumblatt to quit it
Yet here we are... still no president. We all know Berri and Jumblatt hate Aoun, hell everyone hates Aoun. He's just a pawn on Hezbollah's chessboard thinking he can get all the way to the end

I dunno if I already asked, but if M14 and M8 each have their candidate, why can't we go to Parliament... Aoun wants all of Helou's votes from the first round so he'll be assured victory, that's why
