National Bloc Party: Aoun is a Militiaman Par-Excellance
The National Bloc Party considered the defensive strategy proposal made by MP Michel Aoun, "a reflection of (Hizbullah”s Deputy Secretary-General) Sayed Naeem Qassem”s vision. Legalizing arms and militias."
The party went on to state:" Aoun proved himself to be a militiaman of the first rate," adding,"this is not the picture that he attempted to promote with the Lebanese, in being against militias."
The National Bloc added that Hizbullah "depends on Aoun in seducing Christians. However, the party won”t depend on his bright strategy in fighting Israel."
On the other hand the National Bloc viewed Minister of Interior Ziad Baroud”s recent visit to Syria as "serving Syrian designs."
It added that Baroud”s visit ignored two vital issues " missing and detained Lebanese citizens in Syria and border demarcation."
In reference to Hizbullah”s Secretary-General Sayed Hassan Nasrallah”s statement concerning what he termed of Lebanon hiding behind international resolutions, the bloc described it as a "disaster."
