Rifi: Aoun Will Never be President

W300

Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi said on Sunday that the Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Michel Aoun will never be a president, criticizing the street mobilizations that the latter kicked off during the latest cabinet session.

“Aoun will never be a president. What he did in the streets only indicate a state of national downfall and is a proof that he is not fit to handle responsibility at the level of the state,” said Rifi in an interview to the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa daily.

“Aoun has realized that his political horizons are now blocked and he is only struggling with his ambitions and personal interests without taking into consideration the results of his demagoguery actions,” added the Minister.

Urging all the “reasonable political parties not to allow Aoun's floundering drive the country into chaos,” he also called on Aoun to be “rational in order for Lebanon to pass out of the state of tension it is living.”

Earlier this week, Aoun had called on his supporters to prepare for rallies, that coincided with a cabinet session, to regain what he described as the “Christians' rights.”

His supporters began preparing to stage anti-government rallies after the cabinet failed to discuss the appointment of high-ranking security and military officials.

Aoun also has aspirations to become a president.

I have said many times that the Caporal is a born loser.
Let all the followers keep following a liar, agent, khadim, corrupt, traitor and mentally ill person.

We never had in the History of our country such a "low person".
Many of our Shia brothers are supporting the mareedman because he is greatly serving Ebola.

Any person has the right of expression, including Rifi, ...and including all the braindead Christians supporting the Caporal who are diminishing each and every day....

Aoun will never be president because he is not a statesman.

that is the ugly sectarian creature who wants to be president and he cannot answer a simple question by a journalist. Instead he has to use explicits that are indicative of the thug he is.

Aoun is not Sectarian, he is sold out to HA/Iran and using the Chirsitian causes as a conduit.

Aoun and the FPM are more sectarian than hezbollah. I used to attend their monthly meetings and all I heard was sectarian speeches and incitement.

Meanwhile, Hariri right now says that "we dont have a veto on anyone", "We have not ruled out any alternatives". Am I the only one confused here?

un520, you are. Rifi give his own opinion while Hariri gives the Mustakbal official stance. I know it could hard for you to understand, hence the confusion, as you are used to the FPM robots parakeets.
