Geagea: Aoun Denies Facts and We Will Never Forge Alliance with Him
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea stated on Thursday that if Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun is keen on ensuring Christians' fair representation at the parliamentary elections, he should agree to the Christian opposition figures' proposal on the electoral law.
He said during a press conference: “We will never forge an alliance with Aoun after he had repeatedly denied facts.”
On the parliamentary electoral law, the LF leader insisted on the adoption of small districts, saying that proportional representation was among five proposals made during the Bkriki meetings aimed at studying a new law.
Aoun had stated on Tuesday: “The Christian opposition approved the law that was agreed upon by the government at the Bkriki meetings.”
“We are prepared to accept 15 electoral districts for the new electoral law, otherwise we should return to the Orthodox Gathering proposal,” he added.
Geagea explained that Bkirki discussion revolved around the possibility of adopting 61 districts in the new law and another on the adoption of proportional representation, which is different than the law approved by the government.
“We were therefore surprised when the Free Patriotic Movement ministers voted on a law that contradicted the Bkirki discussions,” he noted.
“Our proposal grants better representation than the one proposed by the government,” he said.
“If Aoun was keen on the best representation, then he should agree with our proposal,” Geagea stated.
The parliamentary elections have nothing to do with the developments in Syria and therefore there can be no meddling with the dates of constitutional events, he remarked.
On claims by some March 8 camp officials that extremist Chechen, Libyan, Yemeni, Afghani, and Saudi gunmen were training in northern Lebanon, Geagea said that the government is comprised of March 8 ministers “so why don't they arrest them?”
Those making such remarks could be accused as being traitors because they did not lift a finger to stop such alleged activities, he said.
“Such statements discourage tourists from heading to Lebanon,” he noted.

Geagea: How can we postpone the elections at the time of the Arab Spring and rise of democracy in the Arab world? We oppose their postponement.

Geagea: 2013 parliamentary elections should not be postponed over the developments in Syria.

Geagea: Such statements frighten the people and tourists, so some of these allegations may aimed at creating tensions in Lebanon.

Geagea: If such gunmen exist, why don't you arrest them? You will be labelled as traitors because you are not doing anything to stop them.

Geagea on recent March 8 claims of gunmen from various nationalities training in northern Lebanon: You should tackle the situation since you control the majority of ministers in Lebanon.

Geagea: I hope you would ask experts about which law offers the best representation.
-
06 September 2012, 16:43
Geagea: Our proposal offers the best representation, not the government's. If Aoun was keen on the best representation for Christians, then he should go with our suggestion.
-
06 September 2012, 16:42
Geagea: Small electoral districts offer the best representation for Christians, so what have they done with us? They joined Keserouan with Jbeil, Metn with Baabda, Tyre with Jezzine, and Dinnieh with Akkar.

LF leader Samir Geagea during press conference: I would like to remind MP Michel Aoun that proportional representation was not the only proposal made at Bkirki, but it was among one of five others.

m8 are desperate:
- the syrian door is closing down for them
- they lost their popularity
- if elections are held now, they will have less than 40% of parliament seats
- the law they approved in this cabinet will not pass.
the way I see things is as follows:
- the month starting from 18/09 will be the most dangerous month ever for Lebanon.
- if Israel attacks iran, thus hizbushaitan will drag us to war.
- if not, then the UN will deploy at our borders.
- if the desperate hizbushaitan tries to take over the country, they will be totally destroyed.
they already lost :)

what is cool is that you guys focus so much on irrelevant details, that you forget what is really happening. we've been saying that m8s evil axis is the devil in lebanon, and now that it was openly proven, you still shamelessly defend them. my friend the beautiful land of Lebanon cannot be spoiled with a populace as toxic as you. either gtfo or restructure your views

Politicians with a defined ideology are easier to deal with, even if they are foes, than someone like Aoun who worships himself and believes only in what brings him power and treasure.

Aoun better have not sold his villa in France, he's going to need a place for his retirement. He's persona non grata in Lebanon and soon to be in Syria.
Ir7al ir7al ya Aoun and take Hassan with you.

I know for a fact that France stopped supporting him when he backstabbed them after they welcomed him, fed him for over a decade. I doubt He'll ever return there.
I was close to GMA for several years, I quit him the day I intercepted him getting a call from the Syrian President giving him instructions. We were all having dinner that evening. I'm loyal to pro Lebanese people only, this came to me as a shock and put an end to our long relationship.
I'm no longer surprised by read things in the press, although many facts are fabricated, most are plausible.

I sort of wonder on how many of your posts contain the term wahabi or wahabism--is it more than 90%?
While I know you like using new words like my 2 year old niece, maybe coming up with actual reasons why you support farsi-fascism would be more preferable.

As long as the Christians are polarized like this, there will never be a stable Lebanon. Both Aoun and Geagea are not helping here! All present leaders should go (retire) and get 1 that represents all. Otherwise, it is the status quo for the next 20 years +. JMO

Fellow esteemed commentators - aoun exist because of geagea if he goes someone else will replace him. The problem is not aoun it's geagea initially and now it's both. Wake up, it sickens me that most of you have immigrated and don't understand this yet.

Aoun run away on 13th of oct and he will every time there is something serious. You are desperate to find a hero in him. but the truth is there is no integrity in his personality.
we are in the cluster of ignorance and this will remain since some people find something in lake of honor.
we lake Christian leadership .. we will not find one until we stop hanging arround stupids
