Franjieh Says Aoun's Actions Coming at 'Wrong Time'
Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh has said his ally Free Patriotic Movement chief Michel Aoun is calling for street protests “at the wrong time.”
Franjieh, who visited Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Tuesday, told al-Joumhouria daily's reporter that he considers the FPM's actions “democratic.”
But they are “not appropriate at the current stage,” said Franjieh, whose remarks were published in the newspaper on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the FPM chief, who heads the Change and Reform bloc, called for a “fateful battle” to what he terms giving back Christians their rights.
His supporters are preparing for street protests against the government for failing to discuss the appointment of high-ranking military and security officials.
