Jumblat Says Aoun's Tenure a 'Failure', FPM Hits Back

W460

Several Free Patriotic Movement ministers and MPs responded fiercely Friday after Druze leader Walid Jumblat said the tenure of President Michel Aoun has been a "failure."

"Our tragedy is a presidential tenure that has been a failure since its first moment," Jumblat tweeted.

His tweet is linked to the latest row over Syrian refugees and the calls for returning them to their country.

"The displaced of the earth enjoy neither Eid nor rest. Death haunts them in seas and deserts... They flee tyranny and wars for a better life only to be faced with the walls of hatred and racism that are getting higher everywhere," Jumblat said.

He added: "In Lebanon they are calling for handing them over to the executioner under the excuse of the bad situations and our tragedy is a presidential tenure that has been a failure since its first moment."

Caretaker Energy Minister Cesar Abi Khalil of the FPM was quick to snap back.

"This presidential tenure has achieved in one year what all the previous terms had failed to achieve and you were a key component of those tenures," Abi Khalil tweeted, addressing Jumblat.

"The Lebanese are witnesses to your failure and corruption in all the files you handled. It is our destiny and commitment to fix what you ruined," the minister added.

correction "the project of a lebanese state has been a failure since its first moment of conception due to sectarian feudalism"

The snake is now suddenly virtuous. One can never trust this guy. Watch in a few months he'l switch back his position. Him and Berri are the puppet masters of this decaying republic.
