FPM leader MP Michel Aoun after Change and Reform bloc weekly meeting: We discussed last week’s Bkirki meeting, as well as the issue of state appointments and squandering of state funds. over 13 years

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun hoped on Tuesday that political parties would grant the Orthodox gathering proposals over the parliamentary electoral an opportunity because its suggestions could probably be adopted in the 2013 parliamentary elections.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “We are experiencing the reasons that prompted the gathering to make its proposals in the first place.”

“Everyone has the right to launch a discussion over the parliamentary electoral law and I don’t understand the disputes that have erupted over it,” he added.

“Why shouldn’t the Bkirki meeting agreement be discussed with other ideas?” he wondered.

Last week, a meeting of Maronite leaders at Bkirki reached an agreement to adopt the Orthodox gathering’s proposals over the electoral law.

The proposals called for each sect to elect its own MP on the basis of proportional representation.

On the Beirut MPs’ demands for the establishment of an arms-free Beirut, Aoun said: “What security incidents are they talking about? What assassinations are they referring to?”

“Did the government assume its responsibilities when former Industry Minister and MP Pierre Gemayel was assassinated in broad daylight in Jdeideh?” he asked.

“We want to know what crimes require the demand of the establishment of an arms-free city,” stressed the FPM leader.

On Monday, Beirut MPs demanded that Beirut be transformed into an arms-free city after the frequent armed clashes that have erupted in the city in recent years.

Addressing the Arab initiative to end the crisis in Syria, Aoun noted: “This is a step in the right direction towards achieving calm in the country.”

There is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to Michel Aoun /Saad Hariri / Hassan Nasrallah / Samir Geagea / Walid Jumblat . He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.
