Nadim Gemayel Walks Out of Kataeb Meeting over SSNP Pharmacists Alliance

W460

MP Nadim Gemayel on Monday walked out of a meeting for Kataeb Party’s political bureau in protest at his party’s alliance with the Syrian Social Nationalist Party in the Order of Pharmacists elections that were held on Sunday.

Media reports said Kataeb and SSNP “backed the same list” in the elections.

“Gemayel will announce a stance in the coming hours,” MTV said.

Sunday’s vote was won by a list led by Ghassan al-Amin and backed by Kataeb, SSNP, Hizbullah, the AMAL Movement, the Tashnag Party, the Progressive Socialist Party and suspended members of the Free Patriotic Movement.

Two SSNP members have been convicted of assassinating President-elect Bashir Gemayel -- Nadim’s father -- in 1982.

Nadim,your true home is the LF and not kata2eb, your dad is gone but never forgotten but you belong with us, your dad founded us so this is where you should be , you betrayed us when choosing to run with kata2eb rather then ouwet, time to come home where you belong, Allah, ouwet wbass.

Nadim has shown an incredible independence streak and a solid backbone good on him. Sami's inexperience has turned the once nation wide Kataeb into a regional player like the Marada.
