The confrontation between the two former allies, the “Lebanese Forces Party” and the “Free Patriotic Movement”, was renewed in the context of the protection of “the rights of Christians”, and the head of the “forces”, Samir Geagea, refused to play the “cult rope”. And while he called for the resignation of President Michel Aoun, he linked it to a procedure Early parliamentary elections, and his position demanded a response from the “movement”, which restored the language and the war files.
Geagea said in a radio interview: “Our position is clear from the beginning, after the country has reached what it has achieved, that the president of the republic must resign, but the problem is that if he resigns in light of the current majority parliamentary ruling, a similar president will be re-elected. Therefore, we must go to early parliamentary elections so that this resignation is beneficial and leads to something, and thus, there will be another parliamentary majority electing a new president.
He added that he was no longer in charge of the president’s team, “after he lost everything, except to touch the sectarian rope again, so the government file was presented in terms of the powers of the president of the republic and the rights of the Christians. “They have their sovereignty, freedom and dignity, where is this country? That is what Christians want. On the other hand, the State prevents its money from being stolen by it and by others in its administrations ”, speaking of“ a long battle to prepare the next presidency of Deputy Gebran Bassil. These are not the rights of Christians.
Although several sources of the “movement” refused to respond to Geagea, saying that what he said was not new, the former minister and deputy of the “Free Patriotic Movement”, César Abi Khalil, responded through his Twitter account: “Geagea As usual, he is trying to cover up his retreat and his historical weakness. On the battles of sovereignty, association and dignity, and selling the problems of Lebanon and the Christians, and participating in the liquidation process by attacking the Free Patriotic Movement and His Excellency President Aoun.
“The words of Geagea and the forces came as a result of the reality in which all Lebanese live, and not just one sect, and if the Free Patriot and the Presidency of the Republic claim the rights of Christians, then we ask: Are the leaked recordings and unpublished data? ”Are they issued by the Baabda Palace worthy of the presidency? Are all the Lebanese people suffering from poverty, hunger, state failure and the collapse that we have reached in this time confined to a sect without another, and does not reach the Christian community and the mainstream masses?
He added: “Whoever thinks that instinctive sectarian rhetoric and defending the rights of Christians to obtain family rights can win in politics, is delusional and nothing will change as long as there is corruption, weapons are not controlled and the militia runs a state. within State, and this will be reflected in all without exception “.
