Aoun Accuses Entire Political Class of Theft, Anti-FPM Conspiracy
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Friday launched a vehement attack against the entire political class in Lebanon, accusing it of “conspiring” against the ministers of the Change and Reform bloc.
“I accuse the entire (political) system of conspiring against us and this intimidation will not scare us. We accuse everyone and let those accusing us demonstrate their evidences. We have the documents to prove that they are thieves,” Aoun said at a meeting with FPM coordinators in Sin el-Fil.
“We’re dealing with people belonging to the school that has been in power since 1993, whose behavior resembles that of a joint-stock company,” Aoun said, adding that “they’re seeking to steal from our ministries, but we won’t be partners in embezzlement as we’re seeking to build the state and not a joint-stock company.”
Aoun charged that Energy and Water Minister Jebran Bassil was “obstructed” when he “put the issue of electricity on the front burner,” noting that “no other ministry was subjected to such questioning.”
“Political Harirism and the Mustaqbal Movement have been supporting them (political foes) and he who remains silent in the face of transgression is a silent demon,” Aoun added, in a clear reference to Premier Najib Miqati whom he has accused of turning a blind eye to alleged violations committed by pro-Mustaqbal government employees.
The FPM leader also slammed President Michel Suleiman, wondering “why did the president take an oath to protect the constitution?”
Aoun, who was interrupted several times by his supporters’ enthusiastic applause, added: “I want an answer from the premier and the parliament speaker: how can a head of a parliamentary committee block the laws proposed by a ministry, how can he have the upper hand?”
He was referring to MP Mohammed Qabbani, head of the energy parliamentary committee.
“It is unacceptable to be under the mercy of people who have no conscience or moral values,” Aoun added.
The FPM leader went on to say that he had no confidence in the judiciary, noting that “those in charge are leaving it to decay.”
Aoun also criticized Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat over the issue of the distribution of damages to residents displaced by the 1975-1990 civil war.
Addressing his supporters, Aoun added “I call on you to choose the mobilization method and be ready to stage demonstrations to tell the ‘state-joint-stock company’ that its era is over, and we will only meet them in court.”

Aoun: I call on you to prepare yourselves to demonstrate against state corruption because its end is near.
-
27 January 2012, 18:28
Aoun: We are now in 2012 and the electricity plan that was approved in July 2010 has not yet been implemented.
-
27 January 2012, 18:26
Aoun: I want to ask the premier and speaker how the head of a committee can halt ministry decrees. It’s unacceptable that we stay under the mercy of unethical people.
-
27 January 2012, 18:15
Aoun: Financial matters concern us more than the appointments. They are obstructing appointments at the Higher Judicial Council because they don’t want to be put on trial. Our documents will condemn them.
-
27 January 2012, 18:10
Aoun: The flaws in rule emerged in 1993. Who was in power since then? The Hariris and the Mustaqbal Movement.
-
27 January 2012, 18:08
Aoun: We came under close scrutiny over the electricity file. No other ministry came under such scrutiny. The whole political system is conspiring against us and intimidation will not deter us. We have documents that prove that they are thieves.
-
27 January 2012, 18:07
Aoun: They believe that their actions are serving the people and the silent majority is encouraging the ongoing crimes. We therefore urge you to end this silence.
-
27 January 2012, 18:06
Aoun: They are trying to take over our ministries, but we will stop them. We want to build the state.
-
27 January 2012, 18:05
Aoun: They are holding us accountable for errors they have committed. They should be called living thieves instead of “living martyrs.”
-
27 January 2012, 18:04
Aoun: Corruption obstructs positive development because it is draining state funds. We will not falter in our mission to confront this matter.
-
27 January 2012, 18:02
Aoun: We have been faced with the obstacle of cooperating with the same people who have governed Lebanon since 1993 and who have placed their interests before those of the people.
-
27 January 2012, 18:00
MP Michel Aoun before FPM cadres: The ongoing developments are a sign of impending chaos because those protesting against the electricity problem are the same ones seeking to correct it.

a man full of contradictions and forgetful of what he said in the past... poor alzheimer.
how can mustaqbal been governing since 1993 as it was created in 2005?
how can he forget that lots of his present allies and enemies of before were also governing and stealing?
who set the rules in lebanon between 1991 and 2005? not his friends the syrians that he accused of all this in the past?
didn t he say that the syrians were responsible of all the corruption system they created in lebanon and that the politicians had to obey or die? he said that...forgot?
"We have documents that prove that they are thieves." since he is allied with the hezb he s been saying that, so what is he waiting to present them to the justice? or just throwing accusations for political interests?
all he says can be contradicted by facts... just another big liar! :)

Firstly the Syrians are out of Lebanon you moron. Secondly he said the Hariri's and the Mustaqfaal not just the mustaqfaal party thougg he clearly means it's evil and corrupt pro-salafi members.

i know this question is off topic but i was wondering what are Bassil's qualifications? educational background? employment history? if anyone can clear this matter up for me i would highly appreciate it.

I can't believe Aoun still have any followers. He is PATHETIC and pitiful...

It is Tuesday???
"Aoun: I call on you to prepare yourselves to demonstrate against state corruption because its end is near."
To me this seems like he knows that Syria is changime regimes, M8 is falling and the corruption will be gone.

Look at him, obviously you CAN fool some of the people all of the time.

All your ignorant posts is why corruption is still in place in Lebanon... Regardless of what side Aoun's on we should all embrace the idea of political transparency in Lebanon. I am NOT a big Aoun supporter but I ask myself why is everybody attacking him this time? Because you are all programmed to follow your corrupt rulers blindly. If a politician is threatening to reveal documents on another politician I would say LET IT BE!! REGARDLESS OF THE SIDE HE'S ON. the more the better. Lets have everything out in the open. I don't think he'll throw a stone if his house is made out of glass...

he seems to have totally lost it - sounds like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar - and now is blowing hot air to divert attention away from him and his son in law!
27 January 2012, 23:01

He is right about the corrupted leadership, politician, and war criminals since the war and he is one of them, at least he gave up the gang. People of Lebanon need a real change. We lost Baabda under his leadership and we lost the electricity under his son in law supervision. Like fathers like sons.

All are corrupt, it is true. What about Aoun himself?
Show us and other members of your family ie: bassil how you created your wealth?
It is a pitty that some are still willing to be exploited by a lying coward . Yes all politicians including Aoun, who were involved before 2005 should go home. Let us start fresh.

@ cookie monster, as usual, pathetic and nothing to say when it comes to truth. Yes Mr Aoun who governed since 1993? the syrians, berri, Jumblat, hariri , and many others, then LAHOUD. All of these people you seem to forget and the same people your GENERAL was accusing of stealing the lebanese ressources and profits over the years. Now they are all Saints and Mustaqbal and hariri are the thieves. its been the same since 2006, always Hariri, hes been out for almost a year now and you still acuse them, although you have all ministeries, the army AND HEZB. Mon general, please , go search for your real thieves which are much closer then you think. Stupid followers of a stupid leader.

@Cookie_Jarbu3: Try Googling XXX and enjoy yourself midget.
We are witnessing a man on TV with a failure to communicate. Present your accusations and documents to the judge and court system if you are seeing thieves across the board, and if the judiciary system fails try the United Nations.

ado.australia nice try, Bassil has bachelor in engineering that's all and he never owned anything before he became minister, his dad own a coffee shop everything else you list was part of a CV the FPM circulated online a couple of years ago to try and boost the fool's credentials, anyway enjoy the myth mate.

General Michel Aoun is the voice of the Free and only protector of the peoples rights in Lebanon. He is the only person with the balls to challenge the corrupt cancer instilled in our society since 1993. God Bless and protect you and your fellow Tayyar colleagues and followers. We will continue our battle and will never let down! Let those who have half a brain and the balls and also the determination join the free people!

I have to admit all you M14 folks are making me like this guy a lot more, espacially compared to loser lady geagea. And what he is saying about corruption is mostly true and not only in Lebanon but in the rest of the world as well. However I have to also admit that I have very low hopes that any of that will ever change.

His main reason is his rivals are blocking the 1.2 billion plan (created by his ally Gebran Bassil) to solve the electrical crises.
Whether he is right or wrong to protest, the fact remains that he is protesting against the political system that is trying to conspire against his party but not to implement the 1.2 billion plan to build a new power station. On the other hand, the opposition are at fault to because rather trying to negotiate with the party in power (Aoun's party and others), they refuse any negotiations and hinder any forward steps to go through the 1.2 billion plan. The reaction from the opposition is normal because no opposition party want to make the party in power to look "functional". None the less, there is electrical crisis and both parties must unite to solve the crisis in hand.
This is another example of how two parties are not willing to work together to solve our electrical crises.

I suggest an open / online court for all to see & hear, with no exception to anyone their we could know who is the thief & liar. We choose the best honorable / clean judge in town. This will be the first stone in building the righteous state where no one will be above the Law.

Pour MM. Aoun et Bassil,
«L'une des vertus cardinales du christianisme dont vous vous réclamez est le RESPECT.
Or, les propos que M. Michel Aoun et son gendre, M. Gibran Bassil, ont tenus à l'égard de M. Marwan HAMADE, effectivement rescapé d'un attentat-suicide commis en 2004, sont INDECENTS.
Ils ne méritent que le mépris.
Dans un pays comme la Suisse, M. Bassil, qui a osé traiter M. Hamadé de «voleur vivant», et qui n'a pas souffert le 1/% du martyre subi par Marwan Hamadé , se ferait condamner pour diffamation.
Quant à son mentor et beau-père , l'âge venant, il serait dans son intérêt d'inculquer à son gendre les vertus de respect et de savoir-vivre telles que les pratiquent les «responsables» politiques dignes de leur peuple.
Il n'est pas trop tard pour eux de présenter des excuses à M.M Hamadé et Murr, ainsi qu'à Mme Chidiac...

calling himself sagesse yet repeats the incompetent bassil's version of the event verbatim, obviously nothing sage about him no matter how many blogs he has.

it is good Aoun has people around him to take him home, because with his state of mind if left alone he will be carried to Dayr el-Salib...and by the way thank you for destroying what was left of Lebanon....

the filthy zionist informaiton war department is still in disbelief that there is a christian maronite leader that do not want to collaborate with them. so they bark and bark.

like he isn't right.
like there is no theft.
idiotic comments from zionist information war department and domestic fanatics.

"It is unacceptable to be under the mercy of people who have no conscience or moral values,” Aoun added.
Truly it is unacceptable. Reports I have from Lebanon indicate that since he Hezbollah gang overtook the Lebanese government one year ago, that the only competition is who can steal the most between Berri Aoun and Hezbollah. Aoun may be upset now because his take is not what he would want it to be.
They are raping the country, ruining the currency, borrowing from the banks like there is no tomorrow and soon, they will bankrupt the country.
These people who accused everyone else of theft, are themselves the worst. They did not want to end corrupt government, but to become its beneficiaries and then to expand the corruption.
WAKE UP LEBANON!

Aoun is pointing out the obvious in a country where EVERY politician think that they he is entitled to steal what belongs to the state....the problem here is that Aoun's people are not doing anything that is different to make a case for transparency and integrity...they too act like they are entitled. We DO need a new generation of leaders that are interested in building a state and not a stock joint company, and it is not the FPM that will or can achieve this. In my humble opinion, all these so called politicians need to be voted out of office and we seriously need to start thinking of a new political class! The winds of change are sweeping through the region and we should take advantage of this and take back our country!

now is clear why is zionist information war department so hallucinatory.
they get reports from mossad spies in lebanon.
look, the zionist called "beiruti" just admitted that. he says: Reports I have from Lebanon
they still didn't realize that mossad is quite incompetent.

I can understand needing $1.2 billion to resolve the energy crises in Lebanon, it is disgusting how poor the service is, however, I don't understand the demand that there be no oversight on how the money is spent?
We need 1.2 billion to fix the electricity problem, you can't know how the money is spent.....
this sound more like racketeering than government policy - wtf!
Makes as much sense as hassan declaring devine victory then hiding in a RAT HOLE for the last 6 years - I'm sure it makes sense to someone out there!

It is time for all Lebanese to wrestle power away from ALL M14 and M8 politicians. The fact is we the CITIZENS of Lebanon are all at fault for letting all these politicians to go on for so long... they are all THIEVES and some are murderers and ALL of them are lying hypocrites... they all allow their foreign powers abroad to control them or heavily influence them... and as for AOUN he is the Worst of them all... GOD what a lying Hypocrite.

@lebcam
We as a citizens of Lebanon should not be dormant about this dysfunctional government. We have to empower ourselves and say enough with water shortage, enough to with unsafe streets, enough with unsafe houses, and especially enough with power cuts.
