Rifi: Mustaqbal Making another Mistake by Adhering to Franjieh's Nomination

Resigned Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi said that the adamant stance of al-Mustaqbal Movement to support Marada chief MP Suleiman Franjieh for the presidency is “correcting a mistake by doing another mistake,” the state-run National News Agency reported on Wednesday.

“MP Franjieh and General Michel Aoun are equal in their commitment to Hizbullah's project that is threatening the state and institutions. If any of them was elected, they would secure a cover for the role played by Hizbullah as a tool for Iran in Lebanon and the region. Electing any of them will not be settlement but a surrender,” said Rifi.

"Adhering to the election of Franjieh would be correcting a mistake by making another one."

“We urge everyone to withdraw their nomination for Franjieh and Aoun and to stop the efforts racing to show the advantages of each,” he remarked.
