عون: أيقنوا انهم لن يربحوا حتى بالستين وجهزنا ملف كاملا للطعن بالتمديد
Read this story in English
أعلن رئيس تكتل "التغيير والإصلاح" النائب ميشال عون أن سبب التمديد هم تيقن الأفرقاء السياسيين أنهم "لن يربحوا" بقانون الستين النافذ، معلنا أنه تم تجهيز ملف كامل للطعن بالإجراء الذي أقدم عليه النواب.
وقال عون يعد اجتماع استثنائي للتكتل - الذي قاطع بنواب عون فقط جلسة مجلس النواب - عصر الجمعة من الرابية "وصلنا إلى هنا لأسباب كثيرة لأن المجلس تعطل عند اغتيال وسام الحسن وهذه الفترة ذهبت من عمر المجلس".
وشرح أنه "تقدمت جميع أنواع القوانين منها المنصف المطلق ومنها المنصف النسبي ونحن طرحنا الدوائر المتوسطة كي نحسن تمثيل كل اللبنانيين ورفض وطرحنا الأرثوذكسي وقالوا أنه طائفي رغم أنه ليس كذلك".
أضاف عون "طرحنا القانون المختلط كما طرحه دولة الرئيس بري (نصف ستين نصف أرثوذكسي) وأيضا لم يقبلوا به بل قاموا بقانون مركب على قياسهم".
وإذ شدد على أن النوايا وراء التمديد غير سليمة والأسباب غير أمنية تابع "نأمل ألا يرتكب المجلس الدستوري الخطأ التاريخي لأنه وضع في الأسباب الموجبة الوضع السياسي والوضع الأمني وهذه أسباب لا تشكل عائقا أمام الإنتخابات وبالتالي يجب معرفة من يرمي الصواريخ من أرض معروفة" في إشارة إلى رمي صواريخ على الضاحية الأحد الفائت.
واستغرب كيف أنه "حتى تصاريحهم (من قبل بالتمديد) تدين التمديد وكأن عملية اغتصاب حصلت".
عليه قال عون "لا يرديون إجراء انتخابات ربما لأنم أيقنوا أنه حتى قانون الستين لم يكن يؤمن ربحهم".
وختم رئيس التيار "الوطني الحر" بالقول "جهونا ملفا عن الطعن لأن التمديد لم يحترم شيئا لا الدستور ولا الأسباب الموجبة ولا التقاليد ولا شيء".
وكان قد أقر مجلس النواب التمديد لنفسه 17 شهرا تنتهي في 20 تشرين الثاني 2014، في جلسة حضرها 97 نائبا، صوتوا جميعهم للتمديد.

According to the law, the parliament can be extended for a period of 6month, not 17. I oppose this extension like many of you, and the best way to show it would be for FPM and anyone opposing this hijacking to resign for the seat of MP, resign completely. Talking is not enough, walking is better.

Seriousely, we should have a new political force in this country that emphasize loyalty to the nation and to human rights. Aoun is a serve serving clowns, the future is the past led by feeble clowns, the Kataeb and marada are family businesses, the LF is trying to shake off past image, amal is a non-entity beholden to the hizb. The Hizb is the only party that is organized, well funded, armed to the teeth, knows what it wants and doing what it wants regardless what anyone else says.

I've been very critical of Aoun as of late, but have to agree with him here. Absolutely ridiculous that our MPs voted for this extension, against the widespread condemnation of the public and the laws stipulated in our Constitution.

They could have at least had a ballot to consider the opinion of the PEOPLE THAT ELECTED THEM. They'd rather ignore it and commit atrocities such as this against the country and the rule of law! This, I think, is the most lucid example of their being no respect for any law if it contradicts the interest of politicians! They should all resign, for shame.

But this isn't the fault of the politicians, it's the people's fault. The politicians know they can do this and get away with it, because people will vote them in either way. No matter how bad Hezbollah, Mustaqbal, PSP, LF and FPM behave, each sect will continue to vote for their representative party. The result is politicians who act in reckless ways knowing they can get away with it.

Ditto gcb1,
As you know from my comments on this forum I am not Aoun or M8 supporter. But I evaluate every speech/stand for its content, and its own merit,s and in this case I am with Aoun regarding the unconstitutionality of extending the Parliament term. PMs should not be able to extend their own terms, if they can do it once what keeps them fom dong the same whenever the choose to. This time Aoun and President Sleiman are on the same page and I am disappointed by the M-14 PMs who supported the extension.

Sorry dagger. My beef is with the M-14 MPs who always sing the song of the constitution, Laws and so on. They are as guilty of violating our democracy as Hezb and others. They could have easily expose Aoun by siding with him and then the extension of the Parliament would not have been possible. I am less interested in Aoun's real intentions and more into his position and that of my M-14 (Lebanon and Constitution first imposters).

@dagger
I am less about speculative intentions and more about actions. It is illogical that one of the least effective Parliaments in our history somehow deserves an extension.

"President Michel Suleiman has signed the law extending parliament's term"
Ugh.
I hope they challenge the extension and reduce it to something like November of THIS year.

I would think that if a "civilized" society (and one may argue that it is lacking in Lebanon) wanted tyranny to prevail, then the constitution would have given the President, Prime Minister, Parliament members arbitrary and unrestrained exercise of powers with impunity which would obviously result into abuse of authority. Having said that elected members and representatives may carefully go outside the four corners of the constitution during time of war or other extraordinary circumstances. So the question is do the present events in Lebanon, and a group of "so called" Lebanese who operate an army and a State within a State under the direct control of foreign interests warrant skewing the constitution for the survival of the Country?

That's if the presidential elections in Syria aren't postponed due to "regional turmoil".

Elections are a time when the people in a democratic state can best express their voices. It is ironic that in a time of crisis, a time where the public needs to speak out the most, our politicians resort to shutting down the most efficient mechanism for the public to speak out.
Why you people keep fighting and arguing for M14/M8 is beyond me. By now we should all realize they're a joke.

While I agree with Aoun about the extensions, he and his party are just responsible for the current mess as they and the rest of the MP's had 4 years to work on a new election law and he tried to jam in the orthodox gathering (you know, to increase sectarianism) at the last second and was thwarted. I think he is trying to save face with his followers and keep the discussion away from HA and Syria and that is becoming a political hot potato for he and his followers.

Les partisans et adhérents du CPL ne sont rien d'autre que des demeurés.... Ils sont à côté de la plaque, naïfs comme des américains.... Que Dieu les aide, parcequ'en ce qui me concerne, je m'en lave les mains ^^.
