March 14 Vows to Confront March 8 Insistence to Reject Legal Solutions to False Witnesses File
The March 14 general-secretariat defended on Wednesday Premier Saad Hariri's proposed solution to the controversial issue of false witnesses and said the March 8 forces' insistence to allegedly reject legal answers to the problem will be faced by stiff insistence to refuse blackmail.
"March 8 forces' insistence to reject all legal and constitutional solutions" to the false witnesses issue will be faced by March 14's "insistence to reject blackmail," the general-secretariat said following its weekly meeting.
Hariri has reportedly suggested solving the issue by allowing the Cabinet to seek help from the Supreme Consultative Authority.
The statement also blasted the March 8 forces for rejecting the investigation carried out by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination case.
"Justice is a foundation of stability and democracy. Giving it up under any circumstance is similar to giving up moral and political values that Lebanese are holding onto," it said.
The conferees also lauded President Michel Suleiman and Hariri for their efforts to convene a cabinet session.
