Aoun: Opposition’s Plan to Incite Countries against Lebanon is Criminal
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun described on Monday the opposition’s plan to incite countries against Lebanon as “criminal,” saying that it will fail.
He said after an extraordinary meeting for the Reform and Change bloc: “They have changed their motto to ‘all against the nation.’”
“This is a crime and it appears that the side that monopolized power and ruined the country for 20 years is appalled to find itself no longer in power,” he noted.
“The country cannot be threatened,” he declared.
Addressing the opposition, the MP said: “Shut up and nothing you can do will shake the country.”
“We warn them against targeting us through their words or actions,” Aoun added.
“They know who assassinated former Premier Rafik Hariri. The security personnel who were in office then have not been changed and they have not uncovered any leads, so will they arrest themselves?” he asked.
“The Special Tribunal for Lebanon will determine its position from the government based on whether it is implementing its orders or not,” he continued.
“It’s unacceptable that they judge us before we even dealt with the tribunal,” he stated.
Aoun pointed out that the STL has not yet made its position towards the cabinet.
“The STL is a temporary issue,” said the FPM leader.
The March 14 forces demanded on Sunday that an Arab and international political campaign be launched to “save the republic from the arms.”
They also called on Arab governments and the international community to boycott the Lebanese cabinet it failed to implement United Nations Security Council resolution 1757 on the STL.
