انتخابات الكورة "تحتدم" وسط منافسة بين مرشحي 8 و14 آذار
Read this story in English
دعا رئيس الحكومة السابق سعد الحريري مناصريه في الكورة الى التصويت لمرشح 14 آذار في انتخابات الكورة الفرعية، الاحد، فادي كرم، قائلاً ان التصويت له هو "جزء أساس من حماية ثورة الأرز ومنجزاتها". في حين أن المنافسة محتدمة بين كرم ومرشح الحزب "السوري القومي الاجتماعي" والذي تدعمه قوى 8 آذار، وليد جرجس العازار.
وأكد كرم في حديث الى اذاعة "صوت لبنان" (93.3)، صباح الخميس، أن حظوظه بالفوز كبيرة، مشيراً الى العمل لتأكيد هذا الربح لكن المعركة الانتخابية لا تحسم الا بالنهاية.
وتوقع "مشاركة كبيرة من كل القرى فالكورانيون متحمسون للمعركة الديمقراطية واتخذوا خياراتهم".
من جانبه، شدد مرشح 8 آذار، وليم العازار، في لقاء حضرته "مديرية دده" في الحزب السوري القومي الاجتماعي، على أن" هذه المعركة مفصلية، سوف يعبر فيها الكورانيون عن اصالتهم".
واعتبر أن "من واجبه تحذير الكورانيين من تحالف الاخرين العنصري المتطرف الساعي لتقسيم الوطن وتهجير الاقليات منه"، معلناً أنه "في 15 تموز سوف تثبت الكورة هزيمتها للمال السياسي، بكافة اشكاله، بالتي يسعون استغلالها".
الى ذلك، اعتبر الحريري، في بيان أصدره صباح الخميس، أن "المشاركة في هذا الاستحقاق الانتخابي هو من صلب الحياة الديمقراطية التي نعمل على ارسائها وحمايتها في لبنان".
ولفت الى أن "التصويت للدكتور فادي كرم هو جزء أساس من حماية ثورة الأرز ومنجزاتها والثوابت التي ما زلنا نتمسك بها جميعاً والطموحات التي نسعى لتحقيقها".
ووصف اختيار الناخبين لكرم يوم الأحد بـ"الاختيار الصريح لمشروع 14 آذار القائم على أساس لبنان العربي الديمقراطي السيد الحر المستقل، واقتراعا لصالح مشروع الدولة الواحدة القوية الممسكة حصرياً بالسلاح، كل السلاح، في وجه مشروع تفتيت الدولة".
وقال الحريري في بيانه أن انتخابات الكورة الفرعية "تكتسب أهمية مضاعفة كونها تجري في ظل تغيرات كبرى تشهدها المنطقة العربية برمتها بفعل ثورات الربيع العربي، وخصوصاً بفعل ثورة الشعب السوري في وجه نظام بشار الأسد والمجموعات التابعة له في لبنان".
وبلغ عدد المرشحين ستة عن المقعد الاورثوذكسي وهم: جون جبر مفرج، نعيم موسى العجيمي، فادي عبدالله كرم، وليد جرجس العازار، يوسف اسعد اسكاف وجورج وليم مطر.
وتأتي هذه الانتخابات بعد شغور المقعد الاورثوذكسي، بوفاة النائب عن هذا المقعد فريد حبيب، في 31 أيار الماضي بعد صراع مع المرض.

what do you know about freedom and democracy? your model is that of the syro/iranian regime which suppresses all sorts of freedom, democracy and even the existance of Lebanon.
as a cover up smoke, you talk about wahabism/qaeda which are of your sort and rejected by m14.
so shut up and go to iran where you belong.

There are parliaments in Syria and Iran. Their are Christian and Jewish Members of parliament in Syria and Iran. There are women Ministers in Syria and Iran.
Can the same be said of the Saudi bosses of hariri, geagea and the rest of feb14??
They know more about democracy than all of feb14, hariri and saudis combined.

Luxembourg.....
There is also a priest in jail in Iran awaiting his death sentence because he converted to Christianity. And a priest in Baalbeck who was kidnapped by Hezb because he baptized an adult Shiite who wanted to become a christian and was released only after the poor woman was returned to her family (God knows what her fate was). If this is your model for enlightened minds no wonder Lebanon is in the mess it is in.

I am not saying they are ideal there are extremists everywhere, just look at the far christian right in america (who are by the way allies with the wahabis).
Syria and Iran while not perfect, are closer to freedom and democracy than the patrons of feb14, the saudis.

Previously posted: ..."The term “Syrian Social National Party candidate” used in conjunction with a Lebanese political election is insult enough. To have a Lebanese political figure endorse such a candidate -obviously loyal to a foreign country- is injury in addition to the initial insult. Shouldn’t Lebanese elections be for electing Lebanese political parties instead of foreign ones?"

What would the SSNP do when the Syrian revolution triumph and the focus of the Syrian revolutionaries shifts to settling scores with those Lebanese factions that aided the doomed Syrian dictatorship?

It's far from a dream constantine, 17000+ dead, 1/3 of the army has defected including high ranking generals and close friends of ASSad and more on the way daily, diplomats, the FSA controls 40%+ of syrian territories, the Syrian economy is in shambles over 200000 refugees in jordan, Turkey and Lebanon and you call this a dream, I call it denial my friend, also why is it that anyone that disagrees with March 8Th principals is automatically labeled a Wahabi? Are Syrians/Iranians any better? No dictator can ever deny the will of the people especially determined ones, freedom will prevail, it's a matter of time.

I still Remember when Aoun and company claimed that the situation in Syria will be under control by tuesday, and they said it on Saturday, well here we are 16 months + later. The Syrian regime is doomed, buy yourself some popcorn and a six pack a beer hell make it a 12 pack and enjoy the show.

M8 is going thru the 5 stages of grief over the demise of Mr. Assad:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
At the moment, some members are stuck in stage one while others are stuck in stage two. There is a long road ahead…but the silver lining is that everything that has a beginning has to have an end.

The SSNP won't even exist any more after the Assad regime falls in Syria. It's a puppet political party that carries out assassinations in Lebanon and has no real popular support outside of the few families that rely on money from the Assads.
