Jumblat Holds Hariri Responsible for Street Protests: Democratic Game was Your Choice
Druze leader Walid Jumblat held outgoing Prime Minister Saad Hariri responsible for street protests that broke out across Lebanon as Hizbullah candidate Najib Miqati was set to become Lebanon's new premier.
He expressed dismay at the pro-Mustaqbal demonstrations, saying these protests were in contrary to what Hariri himself had called for.
"Hariri was the one to choose the democratic game," Jumblat said in remarks published Tuesday by As-Safir newspaper.
He said he believed Hariri was "aware of what he is doing. He bears a big responsibility, and he has to protect peace and institutions."
