Aoun: Election Going to be Head-to-Head Battle between 2 Schemes, 2 Ideas
Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun said Saturday that upcoming election is going to be a head-to-head battle between two schemes and two ideas.
"Upcoming election is going to be a head-to-head battle between two schemes and two ideas – one that calls for reforms and another which is corrupt," Aoun said in a speech during a dinner for Tayyar at Habtour hotel in Beirut. "You have to exercise your rights and choose the reformist group," Aoun said.
He said the "battle now is aimed at putting an end to theft, and, God willing, the ancestry which began in 1992 will end on June 7." "He who votes for a fine administration, is himself fine, and he who votes for a corrupt administration, is himself corrupt," Aoun believed. "You cannot have a corrupt administration and a good community at the same time." He acknowledged that Lebanon is "split" between two political lines. "This is why a reformist force will be formed." On the controversial issue of a parliamentary centrist bloc, Aoun said that when he criticizes the bloc "we are not attacking it as an idea of moderation." "We have to differentiate between white and black. There is no such thing as grey when it comes to values," he added.
