In an interview with the newspaper “Al-Jumhuriya”, in an article by journalist Imad Marmel, Franjieh considered that “the US sanctions against Minister Youssef Fenianos imply a direct political attack.”
Franjieh noted that “the pretexts on which the US decision was based are flimsy and weak,” explaining that “contractors have cooperated with the Ministry of Public Works for decades, so why has Washington realized them now? ? ”
He noted that “there are political affiliations or tendencies for most of the contractors in Lebanon by virtue of the well-known internal reality, and Minister Fenianus forced projects by tender to human contractors who have the color of my forces, and others from the mountain have a socialist color, and also gave recommendations to those close to the Future Movement, and to people who carry the color. ” Al-Aouniya undertook projects in Christian areas.
Regarding the US accusation against Fenianus that he leaked information related to the International Tribunal to Hezbollah, Franjieh points out that Fenianus was a lawyer for one of the four officers, for which he is entitled, in the framework of the defense of his client, to view documents or pursue a gap in the record. Franjieh asks: “Does Hezbollah really need Fenianus to obtain information related to the International Tribunal? This is Tafnisa.”
Regarding whether the sanctions will push the “Marada” movement to review its accounts, Franjieh affirms that “our conviction in the resistance and in alliance with it is a solid conviction in which nothing changes. Rather, this pressure on us increases our adherence to our position, and we will not back down “, indicating that” if the objective is to Sanctions they take us away from the resistance to tighten the screws. This policy will not achieve its purpose, it will be counterproductive. “
