Geagea: March 14 Won't Sign Constitutional Concession at Any Cost
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea stressed that political assassinations will fail in coercing the March 14 camp to back down from its positions on dialogue and the formation of a new government, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Saturday.
He told the daily: “We will not sign any constitutional concession regardless of the cost.”
“We will not provide cover to any government that includes Hizbullah and that will place Lebanon in a confrontation with the Arab and international communities,” he added.
“We will only accept dialogue when the party announces a schedule to its handing over of its arms to the state,” continued Geagea.
“We will not allow the return of civil or the return of Syrian hegemony over Lebanon,” stressed the LF chief.
Moreover, he said that a “political camp in crisis would resort to killing and the elimination of the other.”
Geagea had held talks on Friday with a March 14 delegation on the latest developments in Lebanon.
The delegation announced after the talks that the period after the assassination of former Finance Minister Mohammed Shatah will be nothing like the period that preceded it.
On December 27, Shatah, his bodyguard Tareq Bader and six other people were killed in a powerful car bombing in the Starco area in downtown Beirut.
The March 14 camp blamed the attack on Hizbullah and the Syrian regime. Both parties have dismissed the allegations as politically motivated.
