23/12/2009 The head of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc MP Michel Aoun said on Wednesday that he defends the resistance arms because he believes that those arms benefit Lebanon.
"Why does (Lebanese Forces chief) Geagea always imagine that the resistance is coming to Maarab after him?" Aoun wondered. "No one will come to Maarab after him," he added, assuring the LF chief.
Speaking to reporters following his bloc's weekly meeting, Aoun said that PM Saad Hariri's visit to Syria restores positive relations and serves the real interests of the Lebanese and Syrian peoples.
Aoun considered the challenge - that will be filed by Phalange MPs before the Constitutional Council over article 6 of the ministerial statement - as "against the law." He emphasized that the Constitutional Council revises electoral challenges and does not revise the ministerial Policy Statement, and labeled the challenge as "family disputes among the ministers."
The Free Patriotic Movement leader revealed that his parliamentary bloc is working on a joint plan with Progressive Socialist Party to facilitate the return of the displaced to Mount Lebanon, calling for development plans to encourage people to return to the mountains.
The General, meanwhile, called for amending some practices by the Development and Reconstruction Council. He also urged the High Relief Commission for immediate mobilization to solve the issue of rain floods.
Aoun said that international resolutions are not always immediately implemented, "since Resolution 520 remained for long years without implementation." He added that the International Bill for Human Rights, signed by Lebanon, gives legitimacy to the resistance.
