Geagea sarcastically: Fayyad accepted Iran's fuel, let's prepare for electricity

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has again commented sarcastically on the issue of the Iranian fuel grant.

“Lebanese Energy Minister Walid Fayyad has agreed to accept the Iranian fuel grant. Let us await this grant and prepare for electricity in our homes,” Geagea tweeted.

Geagea had on Wednesday called on the government to “agree to Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s offer to bring free Iranian fuel to operate the power plants in Lebanon.”

“I’m not saying this because I believe that this will happen, but rather not to leave the Lebanese people subjected to totally baseless statements,” Geagea added.

Separately, Geagea lamented Saturday that “the Higher Judicial Council has not acted, except through formalities, after more than two weeks passed since Archbishop Moussa al-Hajj’s incident happened and more than a year from the violations that were committed by Judge Fadi Akiki.”

“The Higher Judicial Council is asked to shoulder its responsibilities as soon as possible to preserve what’s left of the judiciary’s image,” Geagea added.
