Aoun says 'all of them' deserted him in corruption fight
What President Michel Aoun regrets, he jokingly told reporters, is having never accepted any bribe from any country like other politicians did.
Aoun said Friday, in a farewell meeting with journalists, that absolutely no one from the political leaders has helped him to fight corruption, using the Oct. 17 famous slogan "All of them means all of them."
And once again Aoun quoted Imam Ali, saying that telling the truth and doing what is right has left him with no friends.
During Aoun's term, Lebanon witnessed a refugee crisis, "an empty treasury," one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, the Covid pandemic, "and now Cholera."
The "strong" President who will leave Baabda on Sunday, will leave the country in a double vacuum after having failed with Prime Minister-designate -- also caretaker PM -- Najib Mikati to form a government before the end of his term.
Aoun accused Mikati of not following unified standards between the Free Patriotic Movement and all the other parties. "Mikati has no will to form a government," he said. "And we will face the non-unified standards."
Aoun had previously announced that he would continue his political fight within his party, the FPM, upon leaving office and threatened to sign the caretaker government's resignation before leaving.
"Accepting the resignation of the caretaker government is not unconstitutional," he told reporters.

Always the victim, always! Since he became president he's. had the majority in parliament, the majority in every government for six years. Yet, he is crying wolf and does not own up to his own failures. Instead he shifts the blame unto others.

Aoun and Bassil took corruption and nepotism to Guinness record levels. Pay to play, cronies appointment at key positions, transforming power and communication ministries to AliBaba cave for robbery, wasting $50 billion on EDL while leaving country in darkness. Worst president ever in human history that sold our freedom, democracy, justice and dignity to the Basij for 30 pieces of silver for personal benefit of becoming president and pumping Bassil, the evil political prostitute! We hope Aoun lives to be 100 so we have time to bring him to justice for his crimes against a nation and let him rot in prison to provide a grain of justice for his million victims!
