Several Lebanese leaders reject the reallocation of Maronite seats as proposed by LF and FPM

Share:

mikati-resignsFormer Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati rejected the proposal that calls for reallocating 3 Maronite parliamentary seats , from one electoral district to another stressing that such a move will be legitimizing the division between the Lebanese and lead to ‘federalism’, National News Agency reported on Monday.

“We welcomed the current electoral law proposal which stems from the spirit of a draft law approved by our government, but we were surprised by the suggestion to move parliamentary seats from one region to another under the pretext of achieving just representation,” Mikati was quoted as saying

“This proposal carries great danger because it practically means legitimizing the division between the Lebanese, and the beginning of a rejected political federation at a time when everyone is required to cooperate to consolidate unity,” he added.

His comments come after several parties endorsed an electoral law proposal based on full proportional representation and 15 districts but the Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces are reportedly demanding the reallocation of three Maronite seats from Muslim-majority districts to Christian-majority districts.

The FPM and the LF are proposing moving a Maronite seat from Tripoli to Batroun, another from West Bekaa to Jbeil and another from Baalbek-Hermel to Bsharri in order to raise Christians’ ability to elect MPs with their own votes to 50 out of 64 seats.

“We express our rejection about reallocation of seats and we hold on to the Maronite seat in Tripoli, because the city in all its spectrum is keen on its unity and coexistence among all its people,”concluded Mikati.

Berri - don't mess with meSimilarly Speaker Nabih Berri rejected the reallocation Maronite seats from Muslim-majority to Christian-majority districts describing the move as “completely unacceptable,” al-Joumhouria daily reported on Monday.

“We can never accept such a proposal and a major questions arises here: What is the purpose of this concept? Winds of division are blowing in the region and here we are amid these atmospheres going for a sectarian separation. This is totally unacceptable,” Berri told the daily.

The Speaker pointed out that the said the proposed law was initially discussed and approved in Bkirki without any reference to the reallocation of parliamentary seats.

“When MP George Adwan first suggested the law based on full proportional representation and 15 districts, we assured him that we will go along with this law which was discussed in Bkirki,” said Berri.

“But when we asked whether the reallocation of seats was also agreed, they said it was not. Why do they want to move seats now? asked Berri.

Mikati is a Sunni Muslim , while Berri is a Shiite Muslim .

The Muslims were not the only ones who objected against the allocation of Maronite seats

franjieh readyMarada Movement chief MP Suleiman Franjieh who is a Maronite Christian warned Sunday against such a move.

“The big threat is the attempt to subjugate sects and the bigger threat is the attempt to redistribute seats,” Franjieh said during a Marada ceremony.

“The solution is to build a strong, capable state and seek balanced and real development,” he added.

He also noted that “Christians are strong because they are spread across the country.”

As for Marada’s stance on the electoral law, Franjieh said “Lebanon’s interest is what matters.”

“All electoral law proposals were aimed at eliminating us,” he charged.

Franjieh concluded by announcing that his movement “believes in the country’s unity” and is “always willing to accept victory as well as defeat,” adding that he supports “any positive competition.”

    Can any Lebanese please explain what is wrong with a federal state? I’d really like to read arguments and facts for once.
    Why is it acceptable to live under the Syrian boots, why is it acceptable to have a terrorist organization occupying swathes of the territory, why is it acceptable to have different and warring Palestinian mini-states within refugee camps, why is it acceptable to have small and large civil wars… but federalism, a proven great model for coexistence, is so despicable?

      It’s the motive, not the concept.

        Can you please elaborate? The motive, as I see it and I can be wrong of course, is that cantons can be more independent from the non-functioning central government and have things done within each canton without having to hear the binding opinion of 16 sects and their foreign backers.

    2. A federal Lebanese state would fall apart in 15 minutes. Within 5 minutes, minorities would be cleansed out of the respective cantons.
      Federalism can only work from the bottom. Not the other way round.

      I can answer to one piece of it:
      “why is it acceptable to have different and warring Palestinian mini-states within refugee camps”
      Because your friends in the South usurped their land and refuse to take them back dumping them, and their problems, on the Lebanese.

            Your argument is pathetic. I am more likely than NOT to align my politics and views with yours (after all there is that likelihood we graduated from the same schools :P). YET where we disagree is the fact that I’d rather live with my Lebanese opponent, w raase narfou3, rather than with a friend w raase mad3ous. When you fought the Syrians (as you say) I was proud of you as I am proud of my compatriots defending Lebanon in the Lebanon War in the South. So grow up already…

            So let’s talk about that raase narfou3 of yours
            You turned into a sham, a zionnist ghost buster on top of being a Lebanese asshole. You used to have some sense in what you used to say and argue, now you just drowned to the level of hind, omega and the likes.
            See, in this latest post , you are “proud of my “compatriots defending Lebanon […] in the south” those same compatriots who have blown up dozens of Lebanese in 2005, who took Lebanon to a devastating war in 2006 that absolutely led nowhere closer to “liberating” anything but thousands of souls from their bodies, who invaded Beirut and other parts of Lebanon in 2008, killing Lebanese and throwing them out of windows, and have since then ruled Lebanon with the threat of an overwhelming civil war…
            If you think your head is standing straight up, you have no head (bala ras).
            If you think these “compatriots” care about you or Lebanon after all of the above and more, then you have 0 analytical skills and even if your degrees come from the best universities in the world, in fact they are equal to a diploma in swallowing and re-spitting Quran verses from the Mahdi school.
            If you want respect, respect yourself first, then we’ll be able to find common ground and discuss things.

            I won’t discuss shit with you for two reasons:
            1. You always revert to personal attacks (very low) Rather than attacking my arguments or posts. Typical Lebanese 😛
            2. You always take and never give. (Think about that for a while)

            2- You’re not my wife
            You won’t discuss with me because you have no arguments, which is both good and encouraging, because you know in your mind there are no arguments justifying these Iranian mercenaries’ occupation of Lebanon through terror.

            That has nothing to do with my argument with you. Before you even appeared on YaLibnan I had serious arguments against HA. First of: I said it multiple time I do not support their slogan which is not inclusive of our society. etc. etc.
            I had serious argument regarding their denying of martyrdom of Lebanese who fell not for their cause. Martyrs are martyrs wherever they fell (except for ISIS which I consider sub human animals). etc. etc.
            I disagreed with their bid to do the will of their axis. As they MUST think Lebanon first.
            However, nobody can deny their sacrifices when they worked hard to go back to their lands when the central government did not acknowledge them for years (Shia) and marginalized them. They had to look out for themselves. Today you cannot deny that Israel stopped their waltzing into Lebanon at will because they have to deal with them despite the fact that we disagree with their loyalty or lack of.
            So go ahead and label me like your zionist brothers here as you wish and attack me personally. You are not a man. Because I challenge you you do the same face to face with any person. What does that make you? A coward? I bet you ANY sum of money that you will never say those things to me face to face. and NO I won’t hurt you nor threaten you. I will just be. A person who attacks people behind the keyboard is a coward. It is amazing how face to face people change and become civil. Grow up.

            Cry me a river about the shia, as if any other Lebanese was ever treated better. All the Lebanese are marginalized, through their own choosing mostly as they reaffirm their loyalties to ultra-corrupt leaders with foreign agendas. ALL of the Lebanese, not the shia alone. If one sect felt extra-sensitive, it doesn’t mean that it can arm itself and start blowing everyone who disagrees with it. You’re like the people who defend a war veteran, returning from war and going about killing everyone in his neighborhood who disagrees with him, just because he’s a war veteran…
            YOU HAVE NO ARGUMENTS!!!
            Israel on the other hand has proved time and again that the waltzing never stopped. When they decide on a target they go and get it and so far Hezbollah has done NOTHING in retaliation. So get your facts straight.
            Finally, what’s with the meet me “face to face” if you dare? Do you often think about meeting me? because it sure is not on my bucket list. Quit the childishness already, this is a blog and here you fight with your words where you’re obviously at a disadvantage. Think and write better and maybe you’ll have a better chance at being seen as someone with a grain of wisdom. Until then: thumbs down failed keyboard gladiator.
            PS: I promise you though that if by any chance or coincidence we ever meet and open the subject, I will tell it to you raw in front of whoever, that you are a terrorist sympathizer and an asshole Lebanese. And that if you dare turn violent (I’m actually sure you won’t if you ever see me) I will nicely and gently neutralize you as I’m not into beating the shit out of old men.

            I have plenty of arguments “old man”. The problem is that they fall on a self-hating Lebanese who somehow was raped by Syrians or a Hizzie before he left Lebanon and now his ass hurts so much he cannot forgive 😉
            You proved me right you are a coward. Good enough behind a keyboard.
            Now as to your terrorist sympathizer label let me tell you, you are no different than your compatriot Lebanese. You accuse people of being terrorist sympathizer and they accuse you of being a traitor zionist (takhwiin) so there you have it.
            As an extra, you know nothing about your own country (the original) and even less about where you live now. How is hamburger flipping at the local Burger King joint doing for you?

            First they’re not civilians, they’re all part of the resistance, they say so every day, they’re Mahdi soldiers, men, women and unfortunately their kids.
            Second they’re terrorists, sons of terrorists and every non-terrorist on this planet is happy watching terrorists killing each other. If you dont enjoy seing hezbollahs killing Isis and vice versa, look no further, you are a terrorist sympathizer of this or that terrorist camp.

It’s all the same rant about my non-lebanesness, jealousy that I was able to achieve in one month what all you assholes Lebanese couldn’t do in centuries and won’t be able to do in centuries to come. Rape, but hurt, coward… the same insults that have always fell on a deaf ear. I’ll let you go back to your friends hind and omega, same level.

          To answer another part of your whining (sugar coated as a question): there is nothing wrong with Federalism but have you not heard of the 1943 French National Pact? Who (among the five groups (Maronite, Sunni, Shia, Orthodox, Druze)) do you expect to give up power for it (Federalism) to happen? Quit being stupid.

            By the way, which one of you taught “dab” the English language……

            When reading “dab” comments, its clear that it must have been to much for “dab” with the input of this West Germanic language – spoken in early medieval England.

            Lebanon was a country before Israel which only became a country May 14, 1948 AFTER stealing the land of Palestine’s natives (which included Palestinian Jews).
            The word Lebanon originated from the Phoenician root lbn (yoghurt as the yoghurt mountain).
            And you’re right Phoenician Lebanon encompassed North Palestine, Lebanon, North Syria, and Carthage as well as all Mediterranean islands such as Crete, Malta, Sardinia etc. BIGGER than what you can fathom 😉
