Saniora: Aoun’s Call for Protests is an Insult to Lebanese
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc leader MP Fouad Saniora slammed Free Patriotic Movement chief Michel Aoun on Sunday for calling on people to demonstrate against severe electricity rationing.
“What FPM chief Michel Aoun said lately is an insult to all the Lebanese,” Saniora told delegations from Sidon visiting him at his office in al-Hlaliyeh.
He accused Aoun of rushing to the aid of his son-in-law Energy Minister Jebran Bassil who had promised in vain to improve the electricity crisis in the country.
Saniora also accused Bassil of rejecting to approve the funding of electricity projects by Arab and international funds.
Aoun urged all the Lebanese who pay their electricity bills on Tuesday to participate in a peaceful demonstration against rationing.
Bassil has come under attack recently and residents of several areas have blocked roads after most parts of the country faced severe power outages. But the energy minister and his FPM have accused certain parties inside the government of hindering the implementation of his projects.
The FPM chief’s call for protests came after the decline in the number of his supporters, Saniora said, adding that “he maybe resorted to this method to mobilize more” followers.
Saniora described the Syrian National Council’s call for a new chapter in the complex and often-troubled relationship with Lebanon as a “historic and important” stance.
The Council’s statement sought to clarify the nature of the ties between the two countries, which should be based on the respect for Lebanon’s border, sovereignty and democratic system, the MP said.

it is Basil, Aoun and Frangieh who should be behind bars for the red diesel scandal, not to speak of a lot of other matters....

Mr Aoun the war criminal and his son in law, the family business Alcopone, history repeats itself when Aoun was in charge of Baabda palace, he destroyed it just like his son in law is destroying the electricity in Lebanon, shame to allow tested leadership for failure to come back.

Guys, just be real! ALL POLITICIANS in this country are corrupt. No one is clean. Lebanon should have a military ruler with an iron fist to strengthen things up, not puppets who bow to their outside masters. This is the sad reality of Lebanese politics and it will never change.

this whole bassil plan is just to justify importing electricity from iran... and not looking for proper solutions to deal with this problem! M8 has been holding this ministry for years and what did they propose so far? nothing

Fouad Saniora is a thief, crook and collaborator with every enemy of Lebanon. This is nothing compared to him having been the right-hand man of the filthiest Lebanese-Saudi mafioso of all time, the filthy Rafic Syria, may he rot in hell next to the other filthiest Lebanese of all time Bashir Gemayel. For this last reason he deserves to be stoned to death a la Sadi Arabia punishment of prostitutes. But this is Lebanon, a country where the filthy Lebanese continue to support filthy politicians like this crook and thief and the other embodiments of filth Geagea and Jumblat.

Aoun urged all the Lebanese who pay their electricity bills on Tuesday to participate in a peaceful demonstration against rationing.....
This will leave most of his allies out. He is mostly calling on the opposition to demonstrate (which is normal).

oh... cookie come on, you know perfectly well... isn t it strange that suddenly iran proposes its electricity after bassil proposed an electricity plan he knew perfectly well wouldn t be accepted?
iran proposes cheap prices and good conditions, aren t you suspicious of knowing their conditions behind that?
good boy anyway, i guess you need that transplant you are talking about for not seeing beyond your M8 nose...

"but if israel suggests sending 'help' to lebanon or a business deal, be the first to welcome the well intentioned israelis without at second thought"
typical stupidity from a M8 paranoid... it seems that you forgot that lebanon is still at war with israel, so your comment is totally irrelevant as usual..
may i remind you like it or not that it is not because M14 or me are against your terrorist militia that it means that we are with israel, poor brianless cookie!
binary thinking as usual from M8 supporter...
if you think that iran is an altruisitic state only wanting the well being of lebanon then you must get yourself checked up...
i repeat, this deal comes at a very convenient time for iran and M8 gvt... that is why it is suspicious,
but keep dreaming of your perfect clean honest thoughtful of lebanese citizen M8 dreamworld.... good boy

everyone is against Michel Aoun because they fear that he will expose them of all their laundering, fraud and corruption. They fear him because he is transparent and has nothing to hide. They fear him because they cannot blackmail and impose anything on him.....he is not depended on them financially and and has no foreign financial interests for them to blackmail him with. Allah ytaeil bee3omrak ya kbeer ya GENERAL

sophia angle : just tell us if you sincerely think your beloved orange puppet will capture murderers thieves traitors if they are among his allies? i really doubt it... so the justice you are talking about in aoun s mouth is called revenge and political demagogy but certainly not justice...
why doesn t he start bringing the hezb to justice, aren t they above the lebanese law with their arsenal?... read the lebanese constitution you ll see how respectful of the law you claim for they are!

It's funny that Aoun accuses others of corruption when his main allies are terrorists, murderers, war criminals, thieves and drug dealers.

@ Cookie monster, its ok we get it, you would prefer an electricity plan where your IMBASSIL wouldnt be held accountable and gets a huge amount of 1.2 billion $ which the lebanese should supposedly shut up and trust IMBASSIL with the money and how he spends it. SPECIALLY on non-renewable energy but on old power-mazout plants which shouldnt cost that much. Bravo Cookie , what a smart move, and do you know why the lebanese army served " tea " ya ja7ech during the 2006 war? did you want them to enter a war the lebanese governement didnt not even want? all because your dumb allies kidnapped on purpose israeli soldiers ? did you want them to bomb all Lebanon for the sake of Hezbollah? and kill army soldiers?

This a demonstration to lebanese people of Aoun's leadership skills that are none existent. Isn't it one of the qualities of great leadership taking responsibility and implementing solutions. But Aoun is never responsible for anything it is always somebody else's fault. This is ridiculous ....
