Geagea says won’t allow Hezbollah and FPM to 'smuggle' a president
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has said that the ruling "establishment" in Lebanon is still entrenched and coherent.
Geagea explained that the "establishment" consists of Hezbollah and its allies in addition to the Free Patriotic Movement.
"Depite the divergent viewpoints that have started emerging among the establishment's main parties, this establishment is closing its ranks anew, seeing as these differences in viewpoints do not concern them much, but rather their fate and interests are what matters to them," the LF leader added.
He noted that "the establishment is working behind the scenes to try and smuggle a president with the least extent of losses, seeing as it can longer secure the election of a president of the caliber that they had sought."
"The difference this time is that the Arab and international winds are no longer appropriate for the establishment. This time there are those who are monitoring it and its every move," Geagea went on to say.
He also vowed that the LF and its allies "will not allow the establishment to regain its positions."
