Geagea Accuses FPM and Hizbullah of Seeking to Postpone Elections
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Monday accused the Free Patriotic Movement and Hizbullah of seeking to postpone the parliamentary elections scheduled for May.
“They are preparing a new plan to delay or postpone the elections through raising the issue of expat voting,” Geagea said in a press conference to announce the party’s candidates for parliamentary elections in the Metn district -- Melhem Riachi and Razi al-Hajj.
Geagea added that the sought postponement would happen through an urgent draft law that would be submitted by the FPM-led Strong Lebanon bloc and backed by Hizbullah.
What benefit gaining 2 seats and losing the Country? It is critical time for survival of Lebanon. LF is missing historic urgency. Only solution is Cedar Revolution II (CR II) million plus peaceful demonstration. One theme: No arms outside army & UN Charter Neutrality. What Diaspora, Arabs & world are waiting for help to poor on us. Anything else is a waste of time, kiss of death to independence, a lifeline to a discredited & hated Hizbollah occupation. Whereas no politicians needed in CR II, LF, Kataeb, Future, Jumblat, Independent and sovereign Thuwar all needed to support CR II. Program is simple: Tueni Oath, speeches by victim families in Hariri assassination and M14 martyrs, Lukaim Slim’s sister, survivors Chidiac, Murr & Harb. Voices of free Shiaa like Rima Sadek and Nadim Koteich explaining Hizbollah destructive impacts on Shiaa. Economist explaining political instability cost. Deatailed ambitious economic, social, political, human & intellectual recovery program.
