Mustaqbal: Hizbullah, FPM Seeking Autocracy, March 14 to Continue despite Differences
Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc on Wednesday accused Hizbullah and the Free Patriotic Movement of seeking to impose an “autocratic political system” on the country through their boycott of parliamentary sessions aimed at electing a new president.
In a statement issued after its weekly meeting, the bloc charged that the two parties want to “appoint” a president and “usurp the will of the Lebanese who are determined to elect a new president in line with their democratic system.”
The two parties have boycotted 34 out of 35 electoral sessions, insisting that the political blocs must agree on a candidate before heading to parliament, and last month Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah declared that his party would only attend an electoral session aimed at electing FPM founder MP Michel Aoun as president.
Nasrallah's statement came in the wake of a proposal by al-Mustaqbal movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri to nominate Marada Movement chief MP Suleiman Franjieh for the country's top Christian post.
Hizbullah, the FPM and some of their allies argue that Aoun is more eligible to become president given the size of his parliamentary bloc and his influence in the Christian political arena.
“Al-Mustaqbal bloc and the majority of the Lebanese people strongly and firmly reject Hizbullah and the FPM's attempt to impose unconstitutional practices whose result would be the rise of an autocratic political system resembling the remaining totalitarian systems in the world,” the bloc added.
Turning to the relations among the March 14 forces, which were strained after Hariri's proposal, Mustaqbal emphasized its commitment to “the foundations and values on which the glorious March 14 uprising was built.”
The bloc “will continue to defend these foundations and values, despite the short-lived and temporary differences among some of these (March 14) forces,” it pledged.
“The Lebanese people who rejected and toppled the old tutelage will not tolerate any new tutelage, regardless of its new shape or form,” the bloc stressed.

Spare us your stupidity and have some shame. You nominate the accomplice of the killers of PM rafik hariri and you still talk about the values of M14.
