Geagea: FPM obstructing municipal vote, its popularity not at its best
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea accused Monday the Free Patriotic Movement and the Hezbollah-led camp of obstructing the municipal polls.
"it's getting harder for them, the FPM's popular support is not at its best," Geagea said, adding that millions of dollars had been spent from the Special Drawing Rights and that the elections can also be funded.
Geagea told Free Lebanon radio that some are saying that the elections should be funded through a legislative session, but those don't want the elections to be held because parliament cannot legislate before a president is elected.
Earlier on Monday, caretaker Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi announced the dates of the municipal elections, urging the government to secure the necessary funds and complete the administrative preparations.
"I see no reason for cancelling the municipal polls," he said. "It will cost much less than the electricity and the subsidization's expanses."

All opposition forces should make clear that no outside deal or pressure will result in electing any Hizbollah Useful Idiot to presidency. This includes any pressure from influential friendly nations such as France, US, Saudi or Qatar. Otherwise we'll be throwing Lebanon to the wolves and perpetual occupation by the Basij and political mafia! Geagea already moving in right direction. This unequivocal rejection must be asserted by all opposition parties and individuals.

The FPM, Hezb and March 8 know that there popularity is at an all time low, therefore the same way they tried to block the 2022 elections from happening they are now trying the same unhonorable act for the municipal polls and they will fail once more, the voice of the free Lebanese cannot be stopped!.God bless you hakim and LF.
