Aoun Accuses LF, Phalange of Unfairly Treating Christians, Receiving Funds to Gain Power

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun accused the Mustaqbal Movement and its allies of “oppressing” Christian factions in Lebanon through their practices over the parliamentary electoral law.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting: “Its allies, the Lebanese Forces and Phalange Party, are unjustly treating other Christian powers in Lebanon.”

He also accused the LF and Phalange Party of receiving funds “in the hope of obtaining illusory power.”

“Who is responsible for the oppression exercised by the Mustaqbal Movement and its allies?” he wondered.

“These two parties should be held accountable for allowing their allies to get away with this oppression,” stressed Aoun.

Commenting on claims that he may launch a campaign to boycott the parliamentary elections should the 1960s law be adopted, he replied: “Oppression could incur results that are worse than a boycott.”

Furthermore, the FPM leader accused the March 14-led opposition of deliberately boycotting parliament and government-related activity in order to thwart an agreement on a new parliamentary electoral law.

“We will not allow anyone to convince Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi to agree to the 1960s electoral law,” he added.

An amended version of the 1960s law was adopted during the 2009 parliamentary elections.

The government recently approved an electoral draft law based on proportional representation and 13 electoral districts.

The opposition and Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat rejected the law, saying that it does not offer just representation.

Asked to comment on Jumblat's recent initiative aimed at ending the political crisis in Lebanon, Aoun responded that he will take a position on the issue after holding talks on Friday with a PSP delegation.

The delegation had been holding talks with a number of political forces on Jumblat's initiative, which focuses on the need for the return of all political powers to dialogue, ending any boycott, and halting the tense media exchanges between the rival factions.

He called on all officials on Monday to abide by the Baabda Declaration - made in June after the first national dialogue in over 18 months - in which rival political leaders pledged to commit themselves to dialogue and political, security and media pacification, avoid speeches that fuel sectarian incitement and bolster stability to prevent Lebanon from sliding into sectarian strife.

who is oppressing whom?
isn't m8 that excluded most of the Lebanese with their coup?
apparently he is extremely nervous about the upcoming elections and sees how much he is loosing ground.
he accuses everybody else of the results of his alliances that are crumbling.

55 billion where $14 billion is attributable to HA's war with Israel with the Lebanese govenment had to pay for. Let's not forget EDL where mismanagement and political favors cost the Lebanese $6 BILLION per year. Now you do the math.

I am not saying M14 are saints, but credit for the debt should be spread to all parties, and the energy ministers have always been M8 or predecessors of M8.

"Aoun:Everyone knows that the current electoral law is unjust and it is the most unjust law in history as it does not offer fair representation."
Micho ya Micho who are you kidding you senile, lovable, cowardly, idiotic, lying little man.
In 2009 when you claimed that the 2005 was the the most unjust electoral lawn history were you lying to your sheeple.
In 2009 when the law you called for passed and Iran paid for FPM's billboards claiming "we returned the right to their rightful owners" were you again lying to your sheeple.
When you claim to care for the Christian voter you are again lying to your sheeple, after all your ministers voted for a law adding huge chunks of Shiites to purely Christian riding so the Christian MP get elected by those Shiite voters rather than the Christian ones. You are so lucky to have idiotic gullible sheeple.
Next step tell them you have a full head of hair.

everything bad that happened to the country is due to M14 alone while M8 only does good things!!! ROTFL!!! typical from binary minds. nothing to envy to georges bush: there are the good ones (M8) and the evil ones (M14)! simple!

so happy simple mind... :)

That bridge 7abboub was put in place to buy votes. The same reason Gebran Bassil appointed people to fill in fake administrative positions in companies throughout the Tripoli and Zahrani areas. Nothing to be proud of! I wonder how much commission Aoun ended up with from the companies involved in building that bridge? I am willing to bet my right arm that bridge cost 3 times what it would have cost in other countries and I am being generous about the 3x.

FT your selective memory is being used at its best. Assassinations, closing the parliament, sending armed terrorists into Beirut, the recent Coup, Nahr Al bared and the so called red line, starting a war with Israel, supporting an oppressive and criminal Syrian Regime......need I go on?

March 14th by no means innocent with respect to public waste, corruption on a grand scale and many more issues....but lets call a spade a spade here and recognize the March 8th has been acting like criminals thugs the last 7 years.

25 assassinations or attempts on March 14th politicians really sums up the last 7 years. One can disagree politically but what's happening in Lebanon is no different than Mafia war of attrition with one side carrying all the weapons.

I used to be pround to defend Aoun and his actions but no more. I can't wait for this coming election to see how many people can no longer stand Aoun and his iranian views. He stabbed us in the back.

ghada12 you are right. So? You Aoun haters don't accept that he his job is to represent the largest block of Christians in Lebanon. He doesn't fear a free and fair election like most of you do. Does that make him a liar? Name calling doesn't change the numbers which do not add up for the March 14 alliance. Furthermore, the accounting practices of the last administration should be investigated and people who stole public funds and broke the law should be held accountable. That doesn't make Anoun a liar or a complainer either. It's called Justice. The nerve of the man to say such things.

This from a guy whose son in law, Thibran Basil has become one of the most wealthy people in Lebanon by looting every Ministry handed to him by Hezbollah, and then lording over not just Christians but everyone else.
