Geagea: Hezbollah does not want Aoun or anyone else as Lebanon president

Share:

Samir Geagea iran does not want a presidentLebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea exposed Hezbollah’s real intensions on Wednesday by stressing that the party does not want presidential elections in the current period or the election as president of its main Christian ally, Free Patriotic Movement founder MP Michel Aoun.

“At the strategic level, Hezbollah cannot coexist with a real state in Lebanon … and at the tactical level Hezbollah does not want General Aoun as president, although it cannot afford to lose him, which has pushed it to obstruct the presidential vote,” Geagea said in an interview with Russia Today (RT) TV.

“This way it does not lose Aoun and it postpones the problem indefinitely ,” Geagea added.

On Monday, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah accused the LF of seeking to stir a dispute between Hezbollah and the FPM.

“If we head to parliament, it is known that Aoun will not be elected,” Nasrallah noted, dismissing LF calls in this regard.

“Our relation with (Speaker Nabih) Berri is not based on coercion and we are ethically committed to supporting Aoun’s nomination,” Nasrallah added.

The Lebanese parliament failed again on March 23 and for the 37th time in a row to elect a president to replace Michel Suleiman whose term ended on May 25 , 2014.

As in the past sessions the parliament was unable to reach a quorum because the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group and its ally Aoun’s Change and Reform bloc MPs boycotted the session, because they could not guarantee Aoun’s election as a president

Speaker Berri a key ally of Hezbollah postponed the election to April 18, 2016.

Former Lebanese PM and Future Movement leader MP Saad Hariri launched late in 2015 a proposal to nominate Marada Movement chief MP Suleiman Franjieh for the presidency criticized while Geagea announced his support for Aoun’s presidential bid in January.

    Of course not. The position of President is currently being held by the Hizzbillies.

    Geagea most often has it right … which is why they didn’t want him working for the Lebanese in the first place.

    What does the PLO (in Lebanon) share with Hezbollah?
    1. Same sect
    2. Love for Lebanon
    3. A state within a state
    4. Peace loving organization
    5. All the above

    Answer: 3

    1. Yes, you are right! (3) is the answer. Interestingly there are many other states within a state in Lebanon since the civil war. LF and SLA are good examples.
