Hamadeh: Lebanon is heading from democracy to one party rule

Share:

“We are worried about Lebanon because it is heading in the wrong direction… while the Arabs are heading towards democracy we are heading to one party rule …the rule of the party of weapons” March 14 alliance’s MP Marwan Hamadeh said Tuesday during the parliamentary session aimed at debating the ministerial policy statement of the cabinet.

Hamadeh was referring to the democratic uprisings in the Arab world away from dictatorships such as in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria , while Lebanon is now heading towards a dictatorship by the party that has the weapons ( Hezbollah) .

Addressing the clause that deals with the the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) Hamaded demanded that Prime Minister Najib Mikati should amend it and replace it with the clause agreed to in the Doha accord.

“Strike off” the word ” in principle” Hamadeh demanded .

“Former PM Rafik Hariri was not assassinated ‘in principle’ but with real two tons of explosives,” Hamadeh said during the first day of the parliament session to discuss the political program of the newly-formed cabinet. The session will last for 3 days following which the newly formed cabinet is hoping to be granted the parliament’s vote of confidence.

Mikati on Thursday unveiled his government’s program, which includes a vague clause saying Lebanon would respect international resolutions as long as they did not threaten civil peace or stability in Lebanon.

“The STL is not anyone’s enemy, it is the way to save Lebanon from violence and crime,” Hamadeh stressed

Turning to Progressive Socialist Party leader and former ally MP Walid Jumblatt , Hamadeh said : “The STL was not there to protect your father Kamal, but it did protect you when you became a target for assassination.”

Kamal Jumblatt, who was the main leader of the anti-government forces in the Lebanese Civil War was assassinated by the Syrian regime on March 16, 1977.

STL could not have protected Hamadeh either when he miraculously survived an attempted  assassination  in October 2004. The van that contained the bomb that was used  to assassinate Hamadeh   reportedly was set up in Hezbollah’s stronghold of Al Dahia a Beirut suburb. Hamadeh was reportedly targeted because of his alleged involvement in drafting UN Resolution 1559 which called for disarming all militia ( Hezbollah is the only armed group in Lebanon ) and for for the withdrawal of all foreign troops( Syria at the time had over 14000 troops in Lebanon)

    so they start to speak
    two tonnes of explosif  hahahaha let me laugh how they can ?
    the answer is easy it was the equivalent of two tonnes and that it’s easy to see:2 kg of explosif blown in a blast one thousand time shorter than usual it’s the equivalent of two tonne and will let you a neat “cantoned” explosion as we see it for this attentat
    the more they will speak the more we will know

      i am not suprised that you have nothing else to say about his speech except to revert to sarcasm on an irrelevant point.
      it does not matter if it was equivalent/closer to/about/approx 2 tonnes of explosive, the important thing is that he was assassinated because he believed in a free lebanon.

      a free country that every lebanese dreams of except for the thugs that you support who care little about others, see them as animals who deserve to die because of their belief in freedom.

      plz for once proove to us that pple like you who support the party of weapons have brains and are able to think ‘freely” and comment positively about other facts in Hamadeh’s speech that you can contradict….but you cannot do that you know why?
      1- because you do not have a unindoctrinated brain
      2- because everythiing hamadeh has said cannot be contradicted…it is the truth!

            because it’s not conceivable how it can be two tonnes and if it was 20 kg (which can be conceivable) it means that it’s a 2.1 bomb technologie out of reach of HA,easy my dear

        2 tonnes it’s not conceivable for the inspector how can you trow 2 tonnes of explosif down a car or how can you hide them ,it’s just that the reality of the fact show that it’s was a small amount of explosif between one kg and 50 kg which have been use . If not  can you explain me how to conceal  a 2 tonnes bomb?

          Remember…..the evidence has not fully laid out yet.
          we should wait until the court proceedings start and hear the evidence from the prosecutor THEN we can judge.
