Geagea says Hezbollah, FPM 'irresponsible' in dealing with Salameh case

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea accused Tuesday the Shiite Duo and the Free Patriotic Movement of "irresponsibility" in dealing with public affairs.

Geagea blamed the FPM and the Axis of Defiance for the crisis, the banking and monetary collapse, and for the resulting dire living conditions.

"They are responsible for what would happen in the banking, monetary, and living situations," Geagea said.

Lebanon on Friday received an Interpol red notice issued against Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh in France over corruption charges.

On Monday, ministers debated Salameh's case in a consultative meeting, as local media reports said that some ministers asked for the dismissal of Salameh while others preferred to keep him in his post until a judicial decision is taken.

In a cabinet session on Friday, ministers will decide whether or not to dismiss Salameh from his post.

"They're dealing with the situation with the same mentality and approach that have led us to hell," Geagea said.
