The head of the “Lebanese Forces” party, Samir Geagea, noted that “the whole world sees how investigations into the crime of the bombing in Beirut are progressing in recent days, and this matter was expected for us for a simple reason, which is that the responsibility for the port explosion rests with the Lebanese state as a whole, because many administrations, agencies and institutions have a direct or indirect relationship with this file over a period of 6 years, so we can imagine the amount of State officials who are related to this prolonged crime, and based on this matter we called from the first moment an international investigative commission, but unfortunately the first to oppose this request is “Hezbollah”, and I do not know until this time the reason for his opposition to him, after which other parties would join this opposition position, while state officials did not respond to us. “
Geagea renewed the invitation, on this occasion, to the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, firstly, to the interim government in second class, and to any future government that comes to send a request to the Secretary General of the United Nations through one of the permanent members of the Security Council to form an investigative commission on this crime.
Geagea’s words came during his meeting with a delegation of cadres from the Beirut area of the “Lebanese Forces” party, at the party headquarters in Maarab, in the presence of: Member of the “Strong Republic” bloc, MP Imad Wakim, secretary Party General Dr. Ghassan Yared, Undersecretary for Regional Affairs Joseph Abu Judeh, Party Inspector General Edgar Maroun, Head of the Political Education Authority Charbel Eid, Beirut District Coordinator Daniel Spiro and a group of chiefs of centers of the region and cadres of the party.
Geagea had started his speech saying: “Circumstances have decided that we meet today on the eve of December 11, 2020, that is, tomorrow coincides with the anniversary of the assassination of parliamentarian Gebran Tueni Ibn al-Ashrafiyya and Beirut the just. We talk about it only for the memory, and this, of course, is not true for us. The martyrdom of Gebran Tueni, like the martyrdom of any other “March 14” figure, is not to be remembered. At a certain moment it will remain calm and at other moments it will recover its activity, like all the revolutions of this universe, but in the end it will continue until the achievement of its objectives. Although at this stage a certain de facto situation is being crossed depending on the existing conditions in the country, and this is not important considering that the basis is that it remains in our hearts so that we can complete it on the ground when the conditions are favorable. What will happen. “
Geagea referred to the crime of the explosion of the port of Beirut, noting that “everyone sees how the investigations of this catastrophic crime are intensifying in recent days, and this matter was expected for us for a simple reason, which is that the responsibility of the port explosion falls on the Lebanese state as a whole, because many administrations and agencies Institutions have a direct or indirect relationship for a period of 6 years with this file, so we can imagine the number of State officials who have relation to this prolonged crime, and based on this matter we called from the first moment an international commission of investigation, but unfortunately the first to oppose this request is Hezbollah, “I do not know until now the reason for your opposition, so that other parties joined him in this opposition position, while state officials did not respond to us. “
Geagea renewed the invitation, on this occasion, to the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, firstly, to the interim government in second class, and to any future government that comes to send a request to the Secretary General of the United Nations through one of the permanent members of the Security Council to form an investigative commission on this crime.
Geagea asked: “Where is the problem in the accreditation of an investigative committee? They say that a local investigation is being carried out in this case, while it is impossible for any local investigation to establish the facts and what happened in the last two days is the greatest proof of this, so how do you want this? The investigation is to move forward in light of what is happening “, emphasizing that” I do not want to accuse anyone or express an opinion on whether the orders of the judicial investigator are valid or not, since we should not get into all this confusion, but most of what I want to say is that we must take lessons. For what happened, and for the President of the Republic to immediately correct the situation with the government interim, whose president is considered personally targeted by this investigation
He continued: “If you are what you think about when it comes to internal investigations, why don’t you send a request directly to the Security Council or through a friendly country of permanent member states like France, the United States or the United Kingdom, and if you want, why not China and Russia to form an investigation committee. ” International, considering that it is sufficient for one of these countries to send a request to the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, for a committee to be formed to do so. “
