Phalange Party Lashes Back at Nasrallah, Says Let Him Implement His Own Advices
Phalange Party on Monday lashed back at Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah over his Ashoura”s speech "in which he addressed warnings to Christians in the form of advices."
"Phalange Party, which is not affected by this intimidation, calls on Sayyed Nasrallah to apply his own advices on himself because he needs them more," said a statement issued by Phalange”s politburo after its weekly meeting.
The statement added that Nasrallah”s choices are the ones "that embroil Lebanon; diminish its sovereignty; obstruct institutions; and prevent security services from performing basic duties."
"If Hizbullah really wants to maintain dialogue and preserve the pacification atmosphere … it should change its stance, policies, and choices," added the statement.
The statement said that Phalange Party is keen on the calm atmosphere in Lebanon "not only for one year" as Sayyed Nasrallah suggested, but permanently.
The party said that its initiative — of appealing article six of the ministerial Policy Statement related to Hizbullah”s arms before the Constitutional Council — did not aim to embarrass its allies, overbid their stances, or "disrupt the sleep of others," in reference to Sayyed Nasrallah”s latest ridiculing remarks.
On the other hand, the party expressed its welcoming of inter-Christian reconciliation efforts.
