Aoun Says No Need for Cabinet but Stops Short of Announcing Resignations

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Friday questioned the need for what he described as an ineffective government but stopped short of announcing the resignation of the ministers representing him in the cabinet.

“The government existed because of compromises made by us. So what is the need for its existence if it failed to appoint security officials and failed to resolve the Syrian crisis?” Aoun asked at a press conference he held in Rabieh.

Aoun also criticized the government for being incapable of implementing electricity and water projects and several other plans.

“The government is not able to take decisions on time,” he said. “It is urgent for officials to understand that governance has rules.”

“Do we need a government which is failing to approve major decisions because it is evading to give rights to people?” he wondered.

Aoun stressed: “We will no longer allow for the violation of our rights and the Constitution.”

The Change and Reform bloc leader has rejected the extension of the mandates of the army and police chiefs, calling instead for the appointment of new high-ranking officials.

“The state has reached a stage of disintegration,” he said.

Aoun blamed the crisis on “the limitation of the presidential powers” and “the lack of participation by all the Lebanese factions” in the country's political life.

“Are we living in a society based on the mafia where all of the people’s rights are violated?” he said.

The solutions to the current problems come through the election of the president by the people, a presidential referendum and holding parliamentary elections based on a new and balanced electoral law before organizing the presidential polls, the FPM chief added.

Flame thrower: So what do you think about the military court ? Was the ruling proprtional to the confessions? Were any or most membera of the court influenced, coursed, taimed, obliged, blackmailed to takesuch decision, were any or most of the members affliated, appointed by, working for, following the orders of either to Aoun, Hizbulah, Amal or Syrian regime parties or Frangieh? Didthey take into consideration the Reaction from the Sunni population, moderate or non moderate Christian Patriarch and if this rulling can influence them to become alienated from the institutions that seem overwhelmingly under Hizbola and Aouni and his sunni hate trademarks? I just want yoy to think about yourself, Flame thrower, Tell us really, all what you wanted is to burn and create fires of discrimination and hate againsy your fellow citizins and think it's ok? Is that fair? Do you want that, to happen to you?

""Following a Syrian withdrawal, it is quite conceivable that
the Syrian regime will leave behind many of its instruments of
terror and destruction as well as its paramilitary/intelligence
apparatus. Therefore, it is imperative that Syrian withdrawal be
accompanied by a complete disarmament of all armed elements."
aoun US senate speech...

never has he asked for hezbollah to disarm since....

but ft will deny it of course.... LOLLLL

I agree solutions to problems come through the electings of the Cristhians presidence by the people with the Shits majority of the Lebanon so the Cristhians presidence will be against the Meca and Israel mafia boy Geagea. The Meca boy only receveid order of Saudis!!!

Today I was on the highway between a honking convoy of FPM supporters going to Rabieh to visit Aoun and what a shock it was for me to count them all: 8 cars and 2 half empty buses. I remember not that long ago, Aoun's convoys were a lot bigger and people at the time seemed to cheer them, in those days. Today no one bothered even look. This is what I've been saying all along, Aoun's support base is dwindling, I even went as far as where he lives, and again, what a disappointment to see such a small presence compared to what he used to see before. Aoun at the end of the day is his own worst enemy, he might as well make that joint declaration with the LF and save what's left of his constituency.

Aoun: Some sides have linked Lebanon and their own fate to foreign powers and preserving independence and freedom is harder than obtaining them.

Was it not him who said he was an integral part of the syrian-iranian-hezbollah axis of resistance...

Thumb liberty 16 May 2015, 04:57

lol @ flamethrower and company
“I am definitely in the axis of the resistance ” Aoun told al-Akhbar newspaper on March 10.
