Bassil says freedom, independence and sovereignty are incomplete

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil on Tuesday tweeted that the date of March 14, 1989 marked “the beginning for regaining freedom, sovereignty and independence,” in reference to the day on which General Michel Aoun declared a “war of liberation” against Syrian forces stationed in Lebanon.

“In 2005, we regained them after a difficult struggle, but it turned out that keeping them is more difficult!” Bassil added.

“Because freedom is incomplete when you accept that someone impose something on you, independence is incomplete when your finances are mortgaged, and sovereignty is incomplete when the free decision is missing,” the FPM chief explained.
