Jumblatt: The new majority has failed miserably in forming a new government

Share:

Progressive Socialist party MP Walid Jumblatt said neither his PSP party nor his National Struggle Front parliamentary bloc can any longer cover up for the vacuum and obstruction of constitutional institutions by the new majority that has failed miserably in forming a new government.

Jumblatt is talking about the Hezbollah led March 8 alliance which is the new majority.

Jumblatt held held talks on Monday with president Michel Suleiman on the government formation process and local developments. He left the meeting without issuing a statement.

Jumblatt , who was elected by March 14 voters during the 2009 elections officially defected to the Iranian and Syrian backed alliance last January.

Hezbollah brought down PM Saad Hariri’s government on January 12 over the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) imminent indictment which is widely expected to implicate Hezbollah members in the assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri in 2005.

Lebanon has been run by a caretaker government since last January. Nagib Mikati was appointed in January as the PM designate with the backing of the Hezbollah led-March 8 alliance, MPs Walid Jumblatt and Mohammad Safadi . March 14 leaders have repeatedly said that intimidation from Hezbollah’s weapons helped secure the parliamentary majority for Mikati’s nomination

Hezbollah is reportedly creating obstacles for Mikati for insisting on including in the cabinet Faisal Karami , son of former PM Omar Karami as the representative of the Sunnis.

Hezbollah is also reportedly hiding behind MP Michel Aoun’s renewed demand for the ministry of Interior even though it was agreed earlier in March that the interior ministry will go to the centrist bloc

    dear mr. jumblatt,

    you helped creating this new majority aberration with pm designate mikati on top by advising your mps to defect along with the shia mp that was on president sleiman’s political side and vote down the hariri government.

    now that you reached a dead end in your foolish and failed adventure you must be reconsidering most of the political decisions you have taken in the last few years, what went wrong and where did they lead you “ila ayyn???”

    you must have experienced at first hand how humiliating it was to try unconvincingly to befriend the likes of assad, hezballah, and specially michel aoun and endure their corruption, their wooden speeches and their fake ideologies.

    coupled with the internal mikati fiasco government that could not see the light, your main mentor across the border is also making you jittery and worried sick about the fate of your druze compatriots if the tables were turned upside down in syria.

    you could try to redeem yourself by asking the 14th of march to take you back if you promise to undo the damage you created in the beginning but then again, even if you make up your mind, who could believe you anymore???
