The media department of the “Lebanese Forces” issued the following statement:
It is laughable and ludicrous when Representative Gibran Bassil accuses the “Lebanese Forces” of adopting the militia’s logic, while the militia’s logic is the one that led, due to its practice, to the destruction of the state and its institutions.
And MP Basil believes that accusing others of being a militia can still pass it on to some Lebanese who have touched their hand what happened to the state, and where their situation has become because of his organic alliance with a militia that hijacks the state’s decision, isolates Lebanon and secures the authoritarian interests of Bassil’s team.
It is unfortunate that the one who completely collapsed Lebanon during his reign is still speaking in front of the Lebanese who suffer greatly as a result of his policies, especially since every ministry he entered led to its sabotage, starting with the Ministry of Energy and total darkness, all the way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and turning it into a center for the axis of opposition at the expense of The supreme interest of Lebanon and the Lebanese.
We remind Representative Bassil that the militia only existed due to the absence and disintegration of the state, in defense of existence, land, and identity, and in an effort to restore respect for this state that is absent from the Mar Mikhael alliance.
As for the Foreign Ministry’s measure, it falls within the framework of deliberate distortion of the expatriate elections and the complexity of the electoral process in countries that do not fit the interests of the March 8 team and the weapons and corruption system.
We ask Representative Bassil, why are the criteria that were adopted when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs no longer valid now, or is he convinced that the expatriate public opinion is not with his policies that cover the militia that kidnaps Lebanon, and thus tries to obstruct the voting of the expatriates through the cronies who have inserted them into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
We affirm that those who demand reform of the situation in Sydney are not only the Lebanese Forces, but the entire expatriate body that wants to exercise its role and its right to vote to hold accountable those who look like a state against the state, and who refuses to lose their voice through manipulation of voter lists and polling stations.
