Opposition Accuses Geagea of Trying to Catapult Hariri into a Frustration
The Opposition believed that recent remarks by Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea aimed at "implicating PM-designate Saad Hariri in order to catapult him into a frustration to become in greater need for the Lebanese Forces and the Phalange Party."
The daily An-Nahar on Sunday quoted a leading figure in the Opposition as saying that Geagea "already knows that Hariri is aware that the Free Patriotic Movement represents the majority of Christians, and he ought to take this into account when it comes to government formation."
The source said they believed Geagea”s speech on Saturday was a response to the Michel Aoun”s FPM and its drive for openness toward the Lebanese "since Geagea is seeking to highlight a role greater than his magnitude in the Christian arena."
Asked whether Druze leader Walid Jumblat approves of such comments by Geagea, the Opposition source said: "Of course not."
