FPM Leader MP Michel Aoun after Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting accuses miqati of exposing Lebanon to dangers.

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun slammed on Tuesday Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s statements, saying that they are a concession of Lebanon’s sovereignty.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “His statements expose Lebanon to dangers and I proudly say that I will not agree to the funding of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.”

“We consider everything they impose on us an attempt to intimidate us,” he stressed.

Furthermore, the MP noted that a law in the STL stipulates that foreign powers can fund the tribunal if Lebanon fails to do so.

In an indirect response to MP Walid Jumblat’s recent statements that he will fund the tribunal, Aoun said: “We are not forcing anyone to remain on our side.”

A few weeks ago, Miqati had stated before the United Nations Security Council that Lebanon will fund the STL, an issue which has created further in division between the Lebanese political parties: March 8 camp that opposes it and the March 14 camp that advocates it.
