Makari: Nasrallah Has Shut the Door on Govt. Negotiations

Deputy Speaker MP Farid Makari noted that Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's recent speech reflects the party's ongoing efforts to obstruct the formation of a government, reported the daily An Nahar Friday.

He told the daily: “He shut the door on the negotiations to form a new cabinet through refusing to relinquish his camp's conditions.”

“He implied that any government besides one of national unity would be one of defiance,” he remarked.

“Nasrallah's claim that he opposes vacuum, while remaining committed to his conditions, will lead to a government vacuum or maintaining the current caretaker cabinet or the establishment of a government devoid of any effective power due to the blocking minority,” said the deputy speaker.

Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam's efforts to form a new government have been met with the March 8 camp's insistence to obtain veto power.

He had said that such a power would render the cabinet as inefficient.

Nasrallah had demanded in a speech on Thursday that the March 8 camp take part in the cabinet according to its parliamentary, not political, weight.

“Amid these circumstances, a cabinet of national interest and true partnership must be formed and we must not waste time in this issue,” he said.

Commenting on these demands, Salam's circles told An Nahar Friday that the request for the camp to be represented according to its parliamentary weight is a veiled demand for veto power.

“Salam is adamant in rejecting the blocking minority and he had informed the March 8 camp of this position,” they stressed.

They hoped that Nasrallah's remarks that he seeks the formation of a cabinet “as soon as possible” would be reflected in his actions by facilitating Salam's mission, they continued.

hezballah's hidden agenda
goal: control the lebanese government in order to cover up our involvement in syria, to safeguard our allegiance to iran and what it stands for, to legitimize our militia and keep prying eyes off our extracurricular and profitable business activities worldwide.
in order to achieve this goal we need to consider the following:

1-no cabinet at all or in a worst case scenario a caretaker cabinet is better than one we don't control.
2-if this fails we demand al sils al mouattel to return to #1
3-if this fails we tie the cabinet forming issue with the electoral law issue and put aoun in the forefront to complicate matters and return to #1
4-if all fails we send the black t shirt squadron to selected non submissive areas to spread chaos our best ally

we should start immediately to disassociate ourselves from iran and hezballah's schemes or we will endure a more catastrophic sequel of 2006 blunder

iranman made a very dangerous speech clearly involving himself in syria despite the baabda declaration and laughing at the lebanese gvt...
FPM supports this new step towards war and once again this party decides the fate of the country...
FPMers should be ashamed especially now that they are getting accomplices of the war prepared by hezbis...

they are not working for the country but just to preserve their power and interests, shame on them

Following your logic, Nasrallah should be with Allah... Well, serving in hell!
