Aoun: Suleiman, Miqati are Violating Our Rights in Administrative Appointments

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun criticized on Tuesday President Michel Suleiman and Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s practices, saying that they are violating the Change and Reform bloc ministers’ efforts to exercise the rights they have been granted by the constitution.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “Suleiman and Miqati are violating our rights in the administrative appointments.”

“Suleiman does not have any privileges and he has no right to make any suggestions at cabinet … as he has no popular representation,” he added.

The president and prime minister are complicit in working against the FPM and “preventing us from reaching the highest ranks in power”, declared the MP.

Last week, Prime Minister Najib Miqati suspended a cabinet session at the Baabda Palace over an ongoing dispute over the issue of administrative appointments.

The suspension was prompted when FPM ministers walked out from the session.

“We wanted the president to play the role of referee between the rival political camps, but he ended up taking sides in the dispute,” Aoun remarked.

“They claim that we do not respect the president. We don’t care if the government remains or if it is overthrown. We will no longer accept mediations to end the crisis,” he stressed.

He added that the constitution obligates Miqati to call cabinet to session, revealing that the Change and Reform ministers would attend the session.

Addressing European countries’ recalling of ambassadors from Syria, he noted: “They were working against Syrian President Bashar Assad and now he is relieved of them.”

"Aoun: The president decided to suspend cabinet sessions in order to acquire a new minister and therefore gain a blocking minority in government."..

..does this mean that at least one of "your" ministers will jump ship and go to Sleiman's side after realizing how crazy you really are?

Lance Corporal Michel Aoun should stop the gibbering and start acting responsibly .He's diatribe is shameful and embarrassing.He's constantly contradicting himself, unfortunately he has become morally and politicaly bankrupt he should just move on.He's become tedious.

The filthy habalkamel will soon write something idiotic he "thinks" is clever, he might have already. The poor mentally retarded dear had damaged his own brain beyond repair by repeatedly smashing his own head with an iron rod, factor in the fact that he was not supplied with much to begin with and you get a hairy creature peeing on himself and flinging his own feces at his brothers.

Every Tuesday the psycho circus comes to town. Very true geha, they did get caught in the red diesel scam. That is why no one will trust them with electricity money.

He wears orange now, but his final clothing will be a white robe that ties in the back. It won't be long. Blue pill in the moning, and a green pill at night. Everything is fine now. Night Night Michel.

Aoun in his infinite wisdom cares more about appointing his puppets than the Lebanese government actually doing anything useful. How is the peace in Syria that you predicted going?

every tuesday is a special day in a life of a zionist media terrorist. they all gather in their department and have weekly reminder about what they think aoun did wrong in the past.

Every tuesday, Aoun ridicules himself more and more. He has clearly demonstrated that he has no knowledge whatsoever when it comes to the constitution and the legal dimension of the issues that are being discussed...
Why does he still have followers? totally incomprehensible...
