March 14 is restructuring the alliance

Share:

Al-Jumhuriya newspaper reported on Tuesday that March 14 parties will finalize the restructuring of their alliance by the end of the week, adding that the final structure will include a supreme leadership committee, a general coordination committee, and a general committee, according to a well-informed source

The source also told the daily that March 14 will announce a political document stating “the alliance’s vision for the future of Lebanon in all domains.”

“This document will be an integrated political program that will launch serious opposition to non-state arms.”

Al-Jumhuriya’s report comes after Former Lebanese president and current Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel commented during his press conference on Monday about March 14 ’s alliance structure, by saying that the alliance has been asked to reorganize itself in order to confront the upcoming events

“The Phalange party proposed the restructuring of the March 14 coalition and to form a general council which will include the March 14 parties and NGOs,” Gemayel , a key member of the March 14 alliance said .

Gemayel urged the Lebanese people on Monday to take part in March 14’s Sunday rally.“We strongly urge all March 14 supporters to participate in the Sunday ( March 13 ) rally in Martyrs Square,” he said during a press conference.

March 14 marks the 6th anniversary of the Cedar revolution when over 1 million Lebanese gathered in downtown Beirut to protest against the murder of the the late PM Rafik Hariri and called on Syrian troops to leave Lebanon. The Syrian troops withdrew in April 2005

March 14 coalition was named after the anniversary of the Cedar Revolution

Outgoing PM Saad Hariri said Monday in a statement that the ceremony will take place on Sunday March 13 ( ( instead of March 14)) because “we are not disruptive people, it is not in the people’s or country’s interests to disrupt a working day .”

      I think the posturing is a very smart move right now…Hezbollah thought they had everything locked up several weeks ago when they overthrew the government, but now we sit in March with no government and no real sign of one…Mikati hasn’t been as cooperative as March 8 would have hoped and President Suleiman is standing strong.

      The idea that Hezbollah’s weapons are a red line is fading and the March 14 coalition is saying the right things. We don’t want war, we don’t want fighting, but we will no longer be terrorized by weapons that are supposedly for national resistance.

      Nassrallah will come to regret May 7, 2008 because thats when he burned up his credibility with any Lebanese person with a brain. You cannot be a resistance movement and use your weapons against the Lebanese in any way. There is no going back from that. Once the weapons have been turned against the people they vow to protect then the weapons become obsolete. You hear more Lebanese saying the prefer Israel to Hezbollah and I am one of those people. Israel is my enemy for sure, but at least there is a fence that seperates us. Hezbollah is my enemy and they infiltrate my country.

      let the rhetoric continue and let this inshAllah stay a war of words.

    The circus is open and in business once again. I can’t stand anyone from either political side. None of them pose a single benefit to our country.

    If I was an March 14 organizer, I will creat a platform to address our economic situation , how to reduce national debt, how to hold ministers accountable so the money does not go into their pockets or their supporters, how to create job opportunities for people seeking jobs, how to encourage tourism so we can employ more and more people in that sector, how we can take care of the unemployed and the elderly, how to do away with complicated government red tape, how to reduce traffic congestion and encourage public transportation, how to encourage local food production, how to enhance green energy and reduce pollution , how to control merchants that take advantage of consumers, how to establish scholarship for people that wants to get an education and making High School diplomas mandatory, how not to impose our religious beleifes on others ,also declaring Lebanon non-aligned country accepts aid with no precondition, last but not least to create security for all citizens alike that is the toughest, to find a language with our Shiite brothers to reduce or eliminate armed presence in the country. When people get education instead of fighting they can solve their problems by debating and arguing, when young people have a decent job you think he will carry a gun, no cause he is happy and enjoying life further if he is married to an educated woman have beautiful children , you think he will risk that by carrying a gun, no”, I am sure I missed some other ideas, but let us not just oppose lets find solutions , so please no grandstanding but problem solving solutions that shows you are intersted in solving peoples problems, and see how you become popular.
