إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat said he agreed with Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah that social and economic affairs should be the cabinet’s top priorities.

Jumblat described his latest meeting with the Hizbullah chief as “excellent.”

Concerning the “aggressive campaign” that the cabinet has been subjected to by the March 14 forces since day one of its formation, the PSP leader told As Safir daily that “this was expected.”

“They have doubted us,” Jumblat said about local parties and foreign countries. He was quoted as saying that “the broad national coalition managed to achieve its goals through the formation of the cabinet.”

Jumblat stressed that “we will (the cabinet) confront this campaign quietly by boosting the productivity of the government.”

Meanwhile, the Druze leader said following talks with Prime Minister Najib Miqati on Wednesday that “the atmosphere is excellent despite the delay in forming the cabinet … Each of us has made sacrifices, each in his own way.”

Jumblat rejected to describe the new cabinet as “Syria’s government.”

“As to what happened with (Lebanese Democratic Party leader) Prince Talal Arslan, I say maybe it was a misunderstanding,” he said, describing Arslan’s verbal attack against Miqati as “inappropriate.”

Arslan announced his resignation of the government the day it was formed to protest his nomination as state minister. He was asking for a portfolio.

Mr Jumblat, you do not even deserve to be called a traitor, because you are worse than that, you are a pathetic insect , a simple worm , who stretches when he feels safe with some political alliance, crouches to the other side when he feels threatens and turns around when cornered.

- No country in the world will accept our governement exept our dear friends Iran and late Syria

- Lebanese entreprises will be hijaked since Hezbollah is in control now, because no one will dare work with them since US sanctions will be coming soon to those who will do business with them.

- Gulf countries will abandon us, no more working there, many will be fired like Bahrain did , tourism will die, specially that arabs are the best clients ( which i dont like too much but its the truth ) even foreigners wont come anymore specially with latest abductions of European nationals by we know who and in favor of we know who

- We have brought back the same loosers we have sworn to never see again in power

Loosers we have sworn never to bring back to power , we have now all of them, Faisal Karami, a syrian puppet, and son of imcompetent traitor Omar Karami, and nephew of Rashid Karami, the low life who has divided the lebanese army at the beginning of the civil war and engaged with palestinians against christians.

- Jean abboud, an SSNP, born and will die a syrian

- Charbel Nahhas , communist and never believed in Lebanon, playing with telephone lines and inaugurating the infamous 71 series, which jammed our already poor telecommunication networks, also providing for Hezbollah new communication networks, and other favors

- Qasem Anso, SSNP, i would not even say a man, but even the devil wouldnt want him as an employee

- And many others, all their histories are known to be corruption and filth, thanks to General Aoun, hezbollah has realised its dreams, my dream now is to see deceipt in Aounie's eyes when their homes will be destroyed and they will beg for their daily bread,Godwilling
