Report: March 14 May Organize Protests to Push for Staging Presidential Elections
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The March alliance is seeking to take measures that will pressure officials to exert efforts to hold the presidential elections and condemn the vacuum that emerged following the end of the term of President Michel Suleiman over the weekend, reported the Kuwaiti daily al-Anbaa on Monday.
March 14 sources told the daily that contacts are being held in order to stage popular demonstrations to pressure officials to speed up staging the elections.
The protests will also be used to express their condemnation of the positions of Hizbullah and the Free Patriotic Movement of MP Michel Aoun that caused the failure of the elections and consequent vacuum.
Suleiman's six-year term ended on Saturday with parliament failing to elect his successor due to the ongoing differences between the rival March 8 and 14 camps over the elections.
The dispute prompted the March 8 forces, namely Hizbullah and the FPM, to boycott the majority of the presidential elections sessions.
Around 40 MPs of the March 14 alliance gathered at the parliament on Saturday evening to protest the presidential vacuum, hours after Suleiman left the Baabda Palace without a successor.
"We call on lawmakers to commit to their representative role by showing up at the parliament,” a statement read by Lebanese Forces MP George Adwan said.
“The parliament's main task remains electing a new president,” it stressed.

I'm Muslim ... So please let the Christians vote! It's their right to elect their president not any other sect.
Just like its our right to elect our leaders... And when all is said and done the president, prime minister and the speaker will collectively run the country on consensus for ALL the Lebanese as a whole ... Consensual Candidate before election?????!!! That is only the peoples right to decide!

@cedre
I do realize what they say :)
but this is for our consumption only as internally they talk the real thing.
such type of talk is specifically used to radicalize us.
My sincere advice: do not fall into their trap and do not get radicalized. this is how we will win :)
as long as they are the only radicals, they will fail. just notice how many sunni radical group they tried to create. why? to show that sunnis re radical, so they can justify their radicalism.
I hope you got the message.

You're one to talk about Illusions given you live under the impression that Hezbollah is a godly, divine army of Islamic guardian angels sent to protect the Lebanese people from the wrath of zionist takfiri zombies.
As soon as you open your eyes, you will be living in Tehran sur Mer ! Your wife will be wearing a veil but I imagine you don't mind this at all ! Remove the veil and you will enjoy a public stoning of her as a blasphemous infidel. Your children will be singing praise songs to Khomeini and would be throwing the first stones at their mother. And you will be shooting yourself with Heroin rather than smoking good old Hezbollah hashish !
