Moussawi: Failure to Represent Resistance at Cabinet is Constitutional Violation
Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Nawwaf al-Moussawi stated on Sunday that the constitution stipulates that the government in Lebanon should represent all components in the country, stressing that the resistance represents more than half of the people.
He therefore said: “Attempts to keep the resistance out of the new government are a constitutional violation.”
“Some sides are seeking to isolate and marginalize the resistance by depriving it of its constitutional right to be represented at the executive and legislative authorities in Lebanon,” he remarked.
He cited the article 95 of the constitution that says that the government is a representative authority that should include all Lebanese sects.
“Governments in Lebanon therefore cannot be technocratic or neutral or independent,” said Moussawi.
In addition, the MP accused regional powers of preventing local powers from forming a new cabinet through attempts to marginalize or eliminate the resistance Hizbullah.
