Raad Says Electoral Battle against 'Hostile Project' Will be 'Very Difficult'
The head of Hizbullah’s parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, on Sunday admitted that the upcoming parliamentary elections will be a “very difficult” challenge to his party.
“We’re not running in the elections to reserve parliamentary seats, but rather to confront a side that wants to impoverish and starve our people, to create chaos in our country and to threaten our security and sovereignty,” Raad noted.
“Unfortunately, this international side is finding compliance from some regional and local parties,” Raad added.
“Our battle is very difficult and it is necessary to win it in order to defeat this hostile project that is targeting our existence, dignity and our country’s sovereignty,” the lawmaker said.
Raad, however, pointed out that the country “cannot be run by a single camp.”
“We’re saying this and we’re confident that we will return to parliament with the same strength or maybe more. We cannot run the country on our own and we want cooperation with others, but with true patriotism and without being stabbed in the back,” the lawmaker added.
“America and its cronies and tools want to take us to the wrong choice and the objective is to remove the weapons of the resistance, the weapons that protected Lebanon, regained the dignity of Lebanese and all Arabs in the region, safeguarded national sovereignty and terrorized the enemy,” Raad went on to say.
