Hizbullah official says electoral rivals won't be able to 'besiege resistance'
The deputy head of Hizbullah’s Executive Council, Sheikh Ali Daamoush, announced Friday that the electoral battle is between two projects – one that “has an economic and financial vision and is looking forward to rescue the country,” and another that is “imported from abroad and whose main slogan is besieging the resistance and disarming it.”
The rival project is “the project of America’s people in Lebanon,” Daamoush added.
“The advocates of this project have evaded their responsibilities toward the people and their crises, and their electoral programs contain nothing but slogans targeted against the resistance. These are unfeasible slogans that are distant from people’s concerns and have nothing to do with Lebanon’s crisis nor with the priorities of the Lebanese,” the Hizbullah official went on to say.
He added that Hizbullah is meanwhile running in the elections based on “a national and feasible project that would contribute to overcoming the country’s economic and financial crisis.”
“Through understanding and cooperation with the rest of the partners in the country, we are capable of implementing our general national program and of turning some articles into laws or plans in the ministries that we will be in,” Daamoush said.
Addressing “all those who are carrying slogans against the resistance,” the Hizbullah official said: “Even if you win the parliamentary majority, you will not be able to implement your slogans and besiege the resistance. You had the majority in a previous period, America and its allies were on your side, some of you were partners in the July 2006 war against the resistance, and yet you did not manage to weaken it.”
