Abu Jamra Objects Aoun”s Cabinet Appointments, Threatens “All Options are Open”
Free Patriotic Movement member Maj. Gen. Issam Abu Jamra strongly objected Cabinet appointments by FPM leader Michel Aoun and threatened that "all options are open" if there was no response to his objection.
In an interview published Wednesday by the daily Al-Mustaqbal, Abu Jamra described as a "mistake" Aoun”s ministerial appointments.
He said the FPM is one of the biggest movements in Lebanon "and we have potentials and skills enough to form a government, and not just one government."
"Consequently, we cannot understand why people were selected for ministerial posts from outside the FPM," Abu Jamra asked.
He said this issue "affects the morale of the FPM."
"You cannot have someone in the government who is outside your movement," he complained.
"What if the only FPM (Cabinet) minister was absent from a meeting? Do we guarantee other”s acts? Abu Jamra wondered.
