Ehden Massacre Anniversary: Suleiman Franjieh Talks Politics and Presidential Elections in Lebanon

On the anniversary of the Ehden massacre, the head of the Marada Movement, Suleiman Franjieh, indicated that “the memory of the Ehden massacre revives itself with your love and conscience. June 13 this year has a special character because it is linked to special political circumstances related to the presidential elections,” noting that “the late President Suleiman Franjieh He believed in Lebanon’s unity and Arabism. On June 13 they came and we were asleep, but today we are aware and what happened on June 13 will not happen on June 14.”

Franjieh considered, “People impose our presence on the area of ​​​​Lebanon, and no one outbids us with our Christianity and patriotism. The time has come for us to comfort the Christians and tell them that the partner in the homeland did not come to abolish us. The problem is with any Christian who is open and takes the Christians on Lebanon, not the conton. The problem is not with Hezbollah, but rather with Hezbollah.” With any open-minded Christian who can take Lebanon to moderation.”

He added, “My name was put forward for the presidency in 2005 and 2018, and each deputy can choose whoever he considers to achieve his vision for the future Lebanon. The agreement of the movement and the forces was to share shares at the expense of the republic. After they crossed paths years ago, today they intersect again on me, and when they agree, they agree on negativity, cancellation, and “who tried.” The experimenter was a destructive mind.”

He continued, “I am not ashamed that I belong to a political project, but my allies and friends know that I would be open to everyone if I were president.” At that time, the forces allied with the party’s candidate against Suleiman Franjieh.

Franjieh continued: “I did not impose myself on anyone, and we have no problem with agreeing on a national and inclusive candidate.”

He went to the “Free Patriotic Movement” and said: “You want a candidate from outside the system, and your candidate is the son of the system and the Minister of Finance, the Impossible Ibra.” The “current” says it does not want a president from it.

Addressing his words to the “Lebanese Forces” and its leader, Samir Geagea, he said: “You are against the opposition candidate and your “right.” But I want to remind you that in 2016 the opposition was against me and “Hezbollah” supported President Aoun, and at that time the “forces” allied with the “Hezbollah” candidate Ali. The problem is not “Hezbollah”, but the problem is with any open-minded president who will take the Lebanese towards Lebanon and not towards the cantons.

And to some of the changeists, Franjieh said: “What is your justification for the youth, because you are intersecting today with those whom you worked on and whose corruption is a revolution? What is your explanation that you met with Basil on the name of the candidate, and some of you came as a reaction, not as an act, and the agreement of the “movement” and the “forces” was to share shares at the expense of the republic “.

Franjieh said, “Our relationship is excellent with the Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Bechara Boutros Al-Rahi,” noting that “France knows Lebanon and is trying to find a solution similar to Lebanon, and the French initiative is a pragmatic one.”

He added, “It is difficult to produce a president in this atmosphere, and they are going towards “political trenches.”

He continued, “I am a Maronite, a Christian, and an Arab at the top of the roof.” I am committed to reforms, the Taif Agreement, and the principle of “administrative decentralization.” In my dictionary, “there is no disruption in political life,” and a strong president does not say, “We have not left.”

And he concluded: “Today, we call for a comprehensive dialogue or for any bilateral dialogue that leads to full dialogue. You want a national dialogue, ready without restriction or condition to solve the problem and not excluding anyone. If I arrive, I will be the president of all Lebanon for those who are with me and those who are against me.”
