Geagea, Bassil Bicker over Megacenters Plan

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea accused Tuesday the Free Patriotic Movement of raising the megacenter issue in order to postpone the elections.

Geagea said, in a statement, that FPM head Jebran bassil and the FPM's MPs know that it is impossible to use voting megacenters in the upcoming elections.

He went on to say that the LF were the first to ask for megacenters but "not as a pretext to delay or to torpedo the elections."

"We won't allow them to postpone the election and we will fight until the last breath for it to happen on time," Geagea said.

The statement upset Bassil who tweeted about Geagea, without naming him.

He said that "this is not his first betrayal."

"He sold the President's jurisdictions in the Taif accord, he fought the Strong president, he betrayed the Orthodox (electoral) law and he sacrificed the expat parliamentary seats," Bassil added, defending the megacenters plan.

"The megacenters would not delay but would rather facilitate the elections," he said.
