Arslan: Miqati Rescued Stability despite Our Reservations
Lebanese Democratic Party leader MP Talal Arslan stressed Sunday that “preserving the Resistance’s weapons is the key to general stability in the country,” noting that Premier Najib Miqati “has favored the financing of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon over obstruction, for the sake of stability.”
“Preserving the Resistance’s weapons is the key to general stability in the country, especially that it is twinned with the army and the people in a tripartite epic,” Arslan said in a speech at an inauguration ceremony in the southern district of Hasbaya.
“Between disarmament and keeping the weapons is a massive space separating right from wrong, victory from defeat, strength from weakness, heroism from cowardice, and the free, sovereign, independent Lebanon from the enslaved, chained, occupied Lebanon,” he added.
Separately, Arslan said Miqati “overcame his crisis with the minimum of losses, favoring (STL) financing over obstruction and rescuing stability, despite our reservations.”
But he called on Miqati to activate government’s work and “open the file of false witnesses.”
