Boueiz- Abi Nasr War of Words
Free Patriotic Movement MP Nehmetallah Abi Nasr responded to remarks made by former Foreign Minister and current parliamentary candidate Fares Boueiz saying: "it never occurred to us to respond in an argument with someone, particularly when that someone threatened to cut our tongue, break our head and call us a chick."
In a press conference on Monday Abi Nasr said that he was not at all surprised to hear the tense statement by Boueiz.
"we were not surprised to see you lose your nerves when you were told that there is no room for you in the chick pen that you were panting to get into," Abi Nasr said.
He reminded Boueiz of the year 1992 saying "How did you agree then to become an MP when Maronite Patriarch Sfeir and Keserouan voters fully boycotted the election, are you not ashamed how the electricity power was cut and the ballot boxes changed to fabricate your parliamentary victory in Keserouan?"
Boueiz responded in a statement saying: "Abi Nasr must be put in his right size of a chick, for we never panted once after a seat in parliament."
Boueiz added to Abi Nasr saying: "I refuse to commit if the program aims to cause a coup, the peacock is more colorful that the chick, the color of its feathers brighter than your pale fluff."
"As for 1992 I rejected the first round of elections and resigned from cabinet to be in solidarity with the Christian opposition," Boueiz said.
