Aoun Asks Berri to Withdraw “Abolishing Political Sectarianism” from Public Discussion
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Wednesday asked Speaker Nabih Berri to withdraw the topic of abolishing political sectarianism from public discussion in order for the parliamentary blocs” leaders "to study it away from the uproar."
Aoun was speaking after the weekly meeting of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc, he answered a question by saying he heard that the president of the Constitutional Council had turned down all parliamentary election challenges but was waiting for the official issuance of verdicts to comment on the subject.
Aoun considered the disciplinary measures taken against a judge for bribery as a part of the reform principles.
"There should have been an investigation instead of a dispute over disciplinary measures inside the Internal Security Forces institution," said Aoun, adding that there should be "a serious reconsideration for the hierarchy of ISF."
Aoun said that his meeting with MP Walid Jumblat was for finding common grounds in Mount Lebanon and for restoring piece of mind for its residents.
On the other hand, the leader of FPM stressed that nothing was scheduled yet regarding reconciliation with each of Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir and Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea.
Aoun denied that the FPM started a war against Maj. Gen. Issam Abu Jamra and said that Abu Jamra was to personally allocate his position inside FPM.
