12/04/2010 Lebanon's Energy and Water Minister Gebran Bassil said the Free Patriotic Movement has lost trust in Prime Minister Saad Hariri's cabinet over municipal elections, accusing the government of setting up Lebanese people.
"Holding municipal elections without reforms has led to losing confidence in the government," Bassil told Lebanese daily An-Nahar. "It will also lead to lack of confidence among the various political parties," Bassil warned.
He believed failure to hold elections after amendments "constitutes a sever blow to the commitment made by the government to approve the municipal electoral law during a year and al half."
"To us, what has happened had broken the bridges of trust (with the government) and torpedoed the political agreement inside and outside Cabinet," Bassil said.
He accused the government of "setting up" The Lebanese people and "cheating" them. "And it (government) continues to manipulate them."
