Siniora : Partership seekers seek solutions not set
conditions
Ya Libnan,
Lebanon, January 3, 2008
Beirut -
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said Hezbollah leader
Hassan Nasrallah revealed the real purposes of his party
which aims at changing the current political system and
torpedoing the Taef accord.
Nasrallah
"doesn't mind prolonging the presidential void to reach his
purpose," Press Office of Siniora said in a statement.
"Those who seek
partnership should rather seek middle solutions instead of
setting conditions and clinging to it," Saniora added.
Nasrallah
declared that there will be no President in Lebanon unless
the opposition gets veto power in the future government and
warned that the anti-government camp would take decisive
measures within 10 days if mediation efforts fail
Siniora said
that blocking the parliament from doing its job deprived
Lebanon of many chances and led to crippling the national
economy.
He asked "Why
do we use the issue of normalizing the Palestinians to
provoke unrest while all political parties agree on opposing
this scheme".
He warned "if
all parties adhere to their terms and views destruction will
prevail".
"Nasrallah
announced that the presidential void will persist until he
has full control over Lebanon and the state even if that was
built on their remains," Siniora stressed.
Hezbollah
leader accused the anti-Syrian parliamentary majority of
creating the current presidential deadlock by refusing a
partnership with the Syrian-backed opposition.
It "wants to
fully control authority and rejects partnership with the
other party ... A veto power means that the opposition
becomes a partner (in the future government)," Nasrallah
said in a recorded interview aired Wednesday night on the
private Lebanese NBN TV network.
According to a
political analyst the “Lebanese opposition lacks logic in
its demands . They want to force themselves on the ruling
party and at the same time they are also demanding the right
to veto any legislation. And to add salt to injury they are
threatening that unless their demands are totally met they
will prevent the ruling majority from carrying forward its
constitutional responsibility towards the Lebanese peoples.
Such behavior is simply extortion and blackmail and must be
totally rejected on all grounds. " - Sources:
