Jumblat Denies Holding Secret Talks with Aoun
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat denied on Sunday holding talks with Free Patriotic Movement chief Michel Aoun, saying he doesn't keep such meetings secret.
In remarks to An Nahar newspaper, Jumblat said: “I am not used to holding such secret meetings. But if they do take place, then I would announce them.”
His denial came a day after a local website said a meeting was held between the two officials at a restaurant in the town of Aitat.
Heavy private security measures were taken during the talks between them, the report said.
Jumblat warned on Saturday of attempts to cause further sedition and division among the Lebanese, urging officials to attend the upcoming national dialogue session.
“We should confront the matter responsibly and fortify coexistence and unity,” he told his visitors in al-Mukhtara.
President Michel Suleiman has invited the members of the all-party talks to a session on January 7.
The last session that was set to be held on November 28 was postponed after the March 14 opposition boycotted it for its refusal to sit at the dialogue table with Hizbullah and for its call to the cabinet's resignation.

You are out of your mind if you think that Jumblat will ever vote for nessbiye, now or ever.

Or, for that matter, that Kataeb will ever vote for nessbiye. It's not going to happen. Unless you give Achrafieh 50 seats in parliament, lol. Maybe then.
I wonder, however, what will happen to Aoun when Hezbo and Amal start calling for ACTUAL nessbiye based on ACTUAL demographics of Lebanon. "b-b-but t-t-that wasn't in the MoU, Sayyed!"
Aoun is willing to destroy the Christians just so he can have the seat he wants before he dies...tfeh

FlameThrower:
Never have I said that I support nessbiye, and despite what FM says publicly, it's well known that they don't either. And for good reasons.
As for Aoun and his agenda; it is obvious by now that he does not care about this country, and simply wants to be president again before yin2ibir (areeban inshalla).
And by the way, what you are calling for is not "nessbiye", not in the true sense anyways. If it were true nessbiye based on actual demographics, then FM, FPM, LF and PSP would all put together constitute about 40% of government or something.

As for why I don't support nassbiye, it's very simple. Why should Sidon, Trablos, and especially Beirut, surrender government representation to a bunch of roaming bands in the south and east? We produce more in one year than you and your entire arta produces in their entire life time. Just look how in two years you stopped our economic growth and made Lebanon a pariah state in the Arab world. It's time for you retards to step aside and let us continue rebuilding what we were doing '05-'11

if the talks are really 'secret', why would anyone admit to them?
