National Bloc: Aoun is covering his failure in restoring FPM
The National Bloc issued a statement on Thursday denouncing Free Patriotic Movement Michel Aoun’s attacks on the “candidates representing the Cedar Revolution in the Achrafieh district.”
The bloc said that “Aoun is covering his failure in restoring the seat that should represent the FPM in the Marjayoun district from his allies,” a reference to the Amal Movement, while Deputy Prime Minister Issam Abu Jamra was supposed to run for the FPM seat in the Marjayoun district.
The bloc also said that the October 13 events were a “painful and sad incident,” and it would have been better if Aoun remembered the gravity of the incident and those affected by it, including Lebanon as a whole, before he visited Syria last year.
The statement read, “The warm welcome Aoun received in Damascus proves how loyal he is to the Syrians in the past and present, and it seems in the future too.”
