Bkirki is Red Line, Talks on Kataeb”s Shares Not Yet Over
MP Sami Gemayel said Sunday that PM-designate Saad Hariri had made a "lot of concessions and compromises" at the expense of the majority March 14 forces.
"We don”t blame him for that," Gemayel told the Voice of Lebanon radio station.
"We blame the weapons that are being used as means to impose what they want on the Lebanese," Gemayel added.
He said there was no problem within March 14 Christians regarding distribution of portfolios, adding that the Phalange party insists on having the education ministry.
Gemayel, however, said a problem revolves around who from March 14 Christian figures would take charge of the labor ministry, "given its location in the southern suburbs."
Gemayel cited security factors and threats against Christians in the March 14 coalition as reasons for making them reject the labor ministry.
Regarding Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir, Gemayel said the Cardinal was a "red line and the use of weapons domestically, whatever the excuse is, is also a red line."
