الراعي طلب من حزب الله "الضغط على عون لسحب ترشحه"
Read this story in Englishحاول البطريرك الماروني الكاردينال مار بشارة بطرس الراعي اقناع وفد "حزب الله" الذي زار بكركي يوم الجمعة الفائت، بالضغط على رئيس "التيار الوطني الحر" النائب ميشال عون بسحب ترشحه لرئاسة الجمهورية، وفق ما أفادته المعلومات الصحافية.
فوفق صحيفة "الجمهورية" السبت، فإن الراعي استقبل الوفد "بحفاوة لافته"، واجتمع معه في احدى الغرف الجانبية لقرابة الساعة والنصف، حيث "سعى بشتى الوسائل إلى إقناع الحزب بالتدخّل لدى عون والضغط عليه للنزول الى مجلس النواب".
وقد حاول الراعي اقناع وفد الحزب بالضغط على عون للعدول عن الترشيح "على ان يختار بنفسه المرشّح البديل الذي يرضيه ويرضي حلفاءه ويقبل به الفريق الآخر".
غير ان الوفد، وتبعاً لـ"الجمهورية"، "كان حاسماً في رفضه هذا الطلب، وأبلغ البطريرك انه يدعم ترشيح عون حتى النهاية وهو معه في هذا الموضوع كيفما اتجه".
يُذكر انه واثر اللقاء الجمعة في بكركي، أعلن رئيس الوفد ابراهيم امين السيد انه جرى البحث مع البطريرك "بالوصول الى نهاية مهمة في موضوع رئاسة الجمهورية وعرضنا اوضاع المنطقة وتطوراتها السلبية والايجابية".
وجدد أن حزب الله يرشّح "الجنرال عون رئيساً للجمهورية".
ويعيش لبنان شغوراً رئاسياً منذ ايار الفائت، بسبب رفض رئيس الجمهورية السابق ميشال سليمان تمديد ولايته وفشل النواب في التوافق على اسم رئيس.

“Aoun is a competent person who is capable of playing a positive role if he was elected as a president and he can assume responsibilities amid the difficult situation” the country is passing through, al-Sayyed stressed.
Looooooooooool competent... such a disgrace...
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi reportedly asked Hizbullah to convince its ally Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun to head to the parliament to elect a new head of state or withdraw from the presidential race and choose a compromise candidate that would be acceptable to all sides.
-- Finally the Patriarch went against Aoun publicly. That's when you know Aoun is a traitor to Christians...lol
The delegation met with al-Rahi to extend its greetings to him on the occasion of Christmas.
-- So they meet the Patriarch to tell him they still support Aoun?? How disrespectful...
Exactly my point: neither have gone to Parliament **to vote for Aoun** because Hezbollah does not want Aoun lol
Dear Batrak,
Please tell the Christians the truth. Someone like you can help to stop the destruction.
Funny... Now a Christian patriarch needs the help of a Muslim party, to convince or pass a message to a Christian leader.... This shows how this leader is close to the church, or to the christian hierarchy!
Geagea always seeks advise from his Saudi/US masters, we never see him go to the Christian leaders.
You made the statement as if it is a fact. I simply asked you a follow up question to you "factual comment". It is not my job to answer my own question. It is your job to support your comment with something that resembles some sort of fact. Your words are empty and full of wishful thinking. Childish at best.
What worries me is that nobody is respecting the elections. We had elections and General Aoun clearly won the majority of the Christian MP's. So why can't the majority of the Christian chose their President ?
Why the majority of Sunni can chose Hariri at the PMship...the majority of the Shiaa can chose Hezbollah and Amal... but why can't the Christian chose their leader ?
The Christian offered elections to be held... when we are in an impasse, let's ask the people - why was this rejected ?
If we want a country, we need to respect each community - the Christian clearly chose Michel Aoun in the last elections...and until there are new elections, this is still the case today.
Build a country, not a farm that will lead to Lebanon's partition - our patience has limits
What do you answer to the idiot above when he says that Ebola is above the Batrak???? Dare to answer.
No matter what we do, there will always be this grumpy old man Aoun to cause an obstruction. Well, Hezbollah can continue to use him as an obstacle of all sorts, this old man will soon expire himself out, like he always does. It's just a matter of time when the fake reprinted label on his forehead reach its by date. Hezbollah too is losing all forms of good will from the Lebanese people, at a time when every possible support would be deemed needed by this militia.
Patriarch reserves the right to himself to change his mind, doesn't he?? Your generale exercised the privilege on many occasions and he is not the Patriarch. aounrecognizes that conditions change that requires a change of position. Only Aoun has this privilege, or shouldn't others like the Patriarch himself have this privilege?
It is only the blockhead who takes a position and then in the face of changing conditions, doesn't alter his position to meet the changed circumstances. Right FT??
Aoun even allied with Hobeiqa. He escorted HK out of Karantina, then used him to smuggle artillery through Syrian-controlled areas while also photographing Ouwwet positions.
Geagea what a farce yeah a criminal heading a bunch of criminals
you should dump all your so called leaders to the sea and select new ones from the young generations maybe then lebanon will be called a free republic and not a mini extension states allied to different contries
The Shia majority of Lebanon should be allowed to elect the government of their choice. That is God's will, and God is not stupid. Majority rule with civil rights for all: that is the symbol of unity of the Lebanese state.
taef allowed the maronites to usurp the god given rights of the muslims especially the shi3a majority
So, changing ones mind is acting like a spoiled brat?? Glad to see, FT that you have joined the rest of us in our view of le petite generale!
