fneish“Hezbollah supports Michel Aoun’s presidential  candidacy”, Minister of State for Parliament Affairs Muhammad Fneish, stressed  Sunday  in in Ras el-Ein Houseiniyya mosque  during the  funeral of  a Hezbollah member who was  killed in Syria.

“Thanks to Nabih Berri’s initiative, state institutions catering to people’s needs could be reactivated once more,” Fneish a key Hezbollah party official  added in a possible reference to the upcoming all party dialogue talks that Berri is scheduled to launch on Wednesday .

Commenting on the Friday  rally by  the  Free Patriotic Movement in down town Beirut he said   :

“The recent demonstration underscored the extent of massive support Aoun enjoys thereby giving him all the right to pursue his claims and objectives”

Commenting on the uprising  by the You Stink group and its supporters  against corruption by the Lebanese politicians  he said :

“Whoever accuses our party of corruption misses the mark and covers up for the real corrupters.”

According to observers  the Iranian backed Hezbollah  militant group never wanted  Aoun to be  a president and what Fneish is claiming  is strictly  lip service .

    I think SOMEBODY should accurately translate that word ‘support’ to people over there. They use it when they mean ‘push’, ‘threaten’, ‘force’, or ‘deny’. And in this case, it’s ‘lip service’? Well, THAT is what the people are hitting the streets about … the babbda-lips that flutter and produce nothing.
    ‘We support your plan to walk into the Sea.’

    1. I think the word support means different things to different supporters .
      I personally never thought Hezbollah ever seriously considered Aoun for the presidency . Hezbollah has been using him as a bargaining chip to secure its objectives by scaring people who dislike him and despise him intensely . Just like Iran used Hezbollah’s threats to Israel during its negotiations with the west to secure the nuclear deal

      Talk is cheap and besides how can Hezbollah be sure Aoun won’t turn against it once his long term dream materializes . Lip service is the right word

    Then you don’t you dick heads go to the parliament and vote for him? it’s like saying we are not coming to your house unless you cook lunch for us. it’s because they know Aoun will not be voted for. again there should not be limit of votes to become president. whoever takes the majority of the votes declare him as President. or wait we can’t even Solve Garbage crisis let alone solve the Presidential. is it because of M8 want to disrupt that. why should they have a President like Suleiman whom they thought they had under the bags and then he decided to speak the truth about them and he was hated for sure. I mean its rather ridiculous when you have Aoun and his block part of the govt. yet they are constantly attacking it. Is Salam the only govt? what about the Kird Berri? or Aoun block? why is the govt paying them if they don’t consider themselves part of this govt?

      Because the ‘TOPS’ always decide policy, even when they can’t. None of them want to shut down a Golden Goose – even if they forgot who actually needs the eggs more. The rotting smells they ignore in their ‘self-powered’ AC environments.

  3. As long as the controversial issues that are the main cause of the problems and disagreements between the parties are not discussed and cannot be discussed no ^initiative ^ or dialogue will solve anything!!!!
