Aoun says his ministers to attend the cabinet meeting

Share:

Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun found on Wednesday an excuse for his ministers to attend the cabinet session later in the day .

Following talks with Marada chief Suleiman Franjieh, Tashnag Secretary-General Hovig Mekhitarian and Lebanese Democratic Party leader Talal Arslan in Rabieh Aoun said :

“We decided to participate in today’s cabinet session because includes in its agenda the draft on wages which we proposed ,”

He announced that the ministers representing his Change and Reform bloc in the government would participate in a cabinet session .

“We hope that the draft on wages would be approved so that everyone could enjoy the holidays,” Aoun said but hinted that his ministers would boycott the sessions again if their demands were not met.

There were reports that the Marada leader was instructed by Syrian president Bashar al Assad to mediate between Aoun and PM Nagib Mikati . Franjieh reportedly threatened Aoun that he will quit the Change and Reform bloc if Aoun insited on boycotting the cabinet sessions.

According to the reports Assad considers the Lebanese cabinet vital for the survival of his regime specially because of the sanctions that were imposed on Syria by the Arab League

      Libnan 1; You should have said Assad rules Lebanon, cause he wanted FPM Ministers to participate in Cabinet against the wishes of The General.

    If you claim as much as you do to represent the people of Lebanon, the 1st step is dissolving that horrendous cabinet, and get a care taker government in there pronto… Minus HA

    I dont understand how with everything that is happening in Lebanon, and in the world, someone like the General Aoun could act the way he’s been acting, and say everything he’s been saying in the last few months. I used to be with aoun, since i was born, my family was always supportive of the lebanese army and aoun at the top of it. In 2006, Aoun’s actions made me lose complete respect for him, for his party, and for anyone that follows him.
    Stop with the accusations and the threats ya general, chbi3na ba2a………………………………………………………….. You have the majority of the cabinet, you are backed by hezbollah and Syria, what more do you want?
    I believe that our general became obsessed with becoming the president of Lebanon, even if the whole coutry has to  suffer, i think it became a question of pride and ego, rather than for the greatest good of the country.
    I for one will not vote for Aoun as president, i think it’s about time for him to retire. My question to aoun and his followers, you always accuse everybody else fo stealing and of being corrupted, then what about what charles Ayoub accused aoun of? he even challenged him to deny it? where is your answer mr aoun to this challenge, but again aoun is known to choose which questions to answer and which to veto, kinda what he s currently doing with the cabinet sessions, no?

      agree! those who blindly support leaders regardless of their actions are the reason why Lebanon is in the mess its in…I dont blame Aoun but rather the fools who support him and give him relevance…there was a time when we too were supporters but those days have been long gone.

      Canleb, come back to your senses my friend. Aoun is truly working for Lebanon. The alliance with HA saved Lebanon from Alqada and the complete control of criminals. Our number one priority is to reverse the Taif which was put together by the help of Syria (if you remember) and Aoun knows well to reverse it he needs the help of Syria. Syria is not in Lebanon anymore so they are not our enemies. You know Japan and the US were arch enemies and now they are best friends.
      As for HA they are Lebanese as much as we are, they liberated Lebanon from the occupation. Ha did exactly what Aoun tried to do when Syria occupied Lebanon. So both are singing the same song and their alliance is natural. Trust me Lebanon’s interest is Aoun’s agenda NO LESS. Wait till the next election and see how many more MPs we will add to our block. May God bless our fearless leader Aoun, give him the health and 3afieh.

        I see that not only aoun chooses when to answer questions, his followers too…
        You say syria is not in lebanon, i say yes you are right they are not, how sad is it that they still control the country while they re not even in lebanon? i dont believe the syrian people is the enemy, i think the syrian regime is. It killed many lebanese people when they oppose them, and now killing their own people because they are opposing them.
        Today go ask any syrian who is getting shot at, who is shooting at you, he ll answer you the army of bashar, and you tell me syria is not ennemy? i should tell you mr libnan, syria is not the enemy, why does aoun keep denying the killings there?
        You say hb are lebanese, i say yes you are right, they have the same rights than all the lebanese.
        So is every lebanese allowed to start getting armed, collecting rockets, closing streets, and make official threats to engage the country in wars?
        Look at what you are saying, only aoun knows what is best for the country, you talk about more mps you have 10, you can have them all 30. who cares who is the majority in the government when the country is on its way to collapse. Let’s be honest, you are not the majority, you are a sum of minorities. There are so many differences between aoun and each of his allies. Let aoun change his agenda from the hb path, and show me what will happen.
        Let the syria regime fall, you think jumblatt will stay an ally? i read that frangieh, and tachnak have said they were attending the cabinet when aoun was still threatening. If bashar falls, do you think you will still be as unified as you presume are?
        Do not take it personal, but aoun, frangieh, tachnak, jumblatt, are all puppets in the hands of the syrian regime now and their representatives in lebanon is hb.
        Why were most of the hits on christians march 14 camp and sunnis?
        Do you think it makes sense that lebanon has more political crimes than any other country?
        I will not be writing back to you, but you are welcome to answer me. Again this is coming from an ex supporter of aoun, who thought maybe at one point aoun could be the mediator between march 14 and hizbollah, then remembered aoun s real agenda, who can get me back in baabda? the only miscalculation was when the arab spring hit syria, no one expected it….
        Maybe a good choice, but definitely wrong timing!

          I try to answer when I see responses. I’m not logged on all the time as I work and sleep plus attending to kids homework. I frankly don’t have answers to all you questions, I know you are correct about the alliance with jumblatt and Tashnack are not natural but the alliance with HA is natural and it will continue post Syrian resolution. As far as Syria is concerned, I don’t like to comment on them as it is not of my business. I have my own theory of what the powers involved like to see happen there but I’ll reserve that for later discussion, I believe it is going to be very beneficial to Lebanon.

          Ahhh .. Libnan1.  A diver too?  (could make one popular with women )
          Let’s see … 1/2 Aoun – 1/2 Hariri –  poetry you’ll never make money on, but nevertheless a hint of artistry (which is good – might improve with age).
           Maybe we could bend a rule. (Bending rules seems popular….)
          But your kids would miss you. Lots of overtime needed to sort out where to put electric poles and how to get wires to them before they disappear. And the pay is going to be lower.
          So .. thanks for the offer … but I couldn’t do that to you.  🙂
