Geagea on partitioning accusations: All Lebanese are our people
After being accused of seeking partitioning, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said Wednesday that "all the Lebanese are our people."
"We will discuss the current political structure with others," Geagea added, describing the current political structure as a "failure."
Geagea had said Sunday that the entire Lebanese structure must be reevaluated, should Hezbollah manage to secure the election of a president in the way it wants.
Hezbollah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem responded Wednesday that "a patriotic person would not call for partitioning."
Geagea, for his part, accused the Axis of Defiance of obstructing the election of a president and dubbed the caretaker cabinet as one-sided.
"The patriotic feelings of some people have been hurt after what I said two days ago," Geagea said, adding that they haven't been moved when they saw the Lebanese "begging" for their money in the banks, searching through garbage to survive and queuing for medicine.
