Loyalty to Resistance Reiterates Warning against De Facto Cabinet
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah's parliamentary bloc warned on Thursday against forming a de facto cabinet, saying that regardless of the name given to such a council of minister, it remains “unconstitutional.”
“We call for an all-inclusive cabinet,” MP Hassan Fadlallah reiterated after the bloc's meeting.
The released statement after the meeting warned President Michel Suleiman and Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam against forming a de facto council of ministers.
It explained: “A de facto cabinet, regardless of the name given to it, is illegitimate, unconstitutional and does not conform to the Taif Accord.”
Political foes are currently studying a proposal suggested by the March 8 alliance on a cabinet based on the 8-8-8 lineup. Suleiman had promised that he would study the proposal put forward by Speaker Nabih Berri, and the formation currently awaits March 14 camp's decision, specifically the approval of former PM and al-Mustaqbal Party leader MP Saad Hariri.
Tackling the recent security-related developments in the country, the statement condemned the assassination of former Finance Minister Mohammed Shatah and the suicide bombing in Beirut's neighborhood of Haret Hreik.
“We lament the situation of chaos and the easiness with which people are being attacked and harmed without any reason,” it said.
“Maybe the burning of the library in (the northern city of) Tripoli, the robbing incidents and the shootings at citizens in the city require the adoption of some legal standards that prevent the repetition of such occurrences,” the MPs pointed out.
The MPs considered that “Israeli aggression threatens Lebanon's sovereignty, and that Takfiris threaten the country's identity.”
“Therefore we should overlook political considerations and build a strong country whose laws protect its citizens and that adopts a strategy that respects the army-people-resistance equation.”

Warns, good heavens, this is the language we've lived under for years, warn, warn and warn. yet we warned Hezbollah to stay well away from the Syrian war, answer, refusal. We warned before that against provoking Israel, answer, refusal. We all know the answers to their refusal and what they got us, now they are warning us about not forming a government in which they won't be represented? Well, the warning for Hezbollah and their allies is this: Be careful, you squeezed the living daylights off Lebanon's moderates and you got yourselves people like Al Assir, now we've got a true moderate gentleman in PMD Salam and you still want him to swim with hands tied behind his back? Patience is running low, the warning is for you HA, let moderates take their role, you no longer are in position to dictate, let alone enforce anything in Lebanon.

Zakblat- you have some funny math going on. only 52.3% of eligible voters actually voted. not sure how you can calculate that 55% of the population voted for March 8. Fudging numbers is a sign of weakness!

zakblat your so smart, that's right and Emile Rahmeh is the most popular political in Lebanon also according to the last elections. Humm, but I thought we stopped counting.. I guess Hezbollah hates the fact that Christians get half share in government when they are only 39% of the population. After all Nasrallah said back in 1989 that Taef gave too much to the Maronite because "it enshrined the Maronite sectarian political system." Al Nahar 6 November 1989.

According to our laws (wich should be changed for a secular one in my opignont) ur numbers doesnot count, march 14 got more deputies in 2005 and 2009 so...
And according to our constitution (which again is not the best in the world) the PM designated and the president are the only one to chose the gov, the deputies can either vote for or against...
Sorry no plus one for u zakblat... Try again later :)

I think sometimes Phoenix thinks everything happens as the result of HA. If HA were to disband then Lebanon's ills would just go away. Of course phoenix, I am not trying to put words into your mouth. But come on, when you say things like HA was warned about Syria, please, you are still forgetting that the plot against Syria was to be aimed at Lebanon next. Thank goodness for HA intervention. Phoenix just the other day you were scolding the Syrians for destroying what they had, and today you are scolding HA for helping to prevent that same sceniaral from happening in Lebanon.

Why did March 14 sabotage the implementation of a new electoral law?

They forgot to say "Maybe the daily car theft and armed robbery originating in the Bekaa require the adoption of some legal standards that prevent the repetition of such occurrences"!

Aug. 7, 2012 -- The Lebanese cabinet approved Tuesday a new electoral law based on proportional representation and referred it to the parliament for ratification, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.
March 14 opposed it because they knew they would get wiped off the map. There clearly afraid of popular representation.

zakblat, if you recall that was a draft law. Do you understand the meaning of draft law? M8 had the Parliamentary majority why didn't Berri put it up for a vote? Berri refused to submitted it for a vote because it was obviously never meant to be implemented, it was designed to waste time.. He sent it to the sub committees instead, then completely forgot about it. Besides even thought the FPM voted for this law Alain Aoun and Neemtallah Abi Nasr immediately submitted another competing draft law, so the FPM ministers were not serious when they approved the cabinet's draft law.
BTY who was it the scuttled the Constitutional Council's four meetings to rule on Parliament's extension?

Please admit that Zakblat just destroyed you with facts. Admit it and youll be on your first step towards recovery.
You like to use Jumblatt when he benefits you and throw him away when he's against you points.
Pathetic.

If someone doesnt respond to one of your comments with 10mins you assume that they are "cornered" and "disappears".
You should assume ppl have jobs and dont sit at their parents house all day like you and type nonsense.

Unbelievable! "Loyalty" to which "resistance"? Resistance against the occupation of Lebanon by foreign powers? Obviously you're not one of those! How is the question of forming a Lebanese cabinet still an issue?! All you need is to have Lebanese people who are interested in Lebanese people in the cabinet. Is it really that difficult to agree that Lebanese people should govern their country, and that no foreign occupational force - be it Israeli or Iranian or Saudi or Syrian - should take precedence over LEBANON! We have a country here, it's called Lebanon! Mais allo, quoi?!
