عون: أنا مؤتمن على الدستور ولن أسمح بإجراء انتخابات وفقا للـ60
Read this story in English
شدد رئيس الجمهورية ميشال عون على أنه لن يتراجع عن خطاب القسم الذي أكد فيه أنه سيعمل على إقرار قانون جديد للانتخابات النيابية، مجددا تأييده للنسبية المطلقة ورفضه للستين، داعيا القوى السياسية الى عدم المناورة وتضييع الوقت لانه لن يفيد.
وقال عون في حديث الى صحيفة "الاخبار" "ما ورد في خطاب القسم، إنما هو كلام تحت القسم، ومن يعتقد بأن بالإمكان التراجع عنه، يكون لا يعرف معنى أن الخطاب اسمه خطاب القسم".
وسأل عون "كيف يمكن أن يستمر المجلس النيابي قائماً لثماني سنوات، ولا يكون قادراً على إقرار قانون جديد للانتخابات؟".
وأضاف "كنت واضحاً وأكرّر، أنه لا داعي لمناورة المهل وغيرها، وكلنا يعلم أن هذه الأمور التقنية، بما فيها احتمال حصول تأجيل تقني، أمور قابلة للمعالجة في نص القانون الجديد".
عليه، دعا جميع القوى إلى "عدم تضييع الوقت، والذهاب نحو إعداد قانون جديد، يصحّح التمثيل الشعبي عند جميع اللبنانيين".
وتابع "أنا مع النسبية المطلقة، والكل يعلم أن هذا القانون سيجعلني وفريقي نخسر مقاعد لأكثر من كتلة نيابية أخرى، لكن عدالة التمثيل وصحته تفترضان تضحيات جدية من الذين يريدون مستقبلاً أفضل للبلاد، ومع ذلك، طرحوا أفكاراً حول قانون مختلط بين النسبية والأكثرية، وقلنا للجميع إننا مستعدون للبحث بما يسمح بإقرار قانون جديد وليس لتضييع الوقت".
وأكد عون أنه "لا مبرّر إطلاقاً لعدم إنجاز قانون جديد في أسرع وقت"، لافتا الى أنه "في حال اعتقد البعض بأن تضييع الوقت يلزمنا بإجراء الانتخابات وفق قانون الستين، فهذا البعض لا يعرفني، وكلامي واضح وحاسم، بأنني، ومن موقعي كرئيس للجمهورية مؤمتن على الدستور، لن أسمح بحصول ذلك".
يشار الى ان عون كان قد اعلن أنه إذا خير بين الفراغ والتمديد سيختار الفراغ.

You cannot use your constitutional powers to 'suspend' an existing election law that you yourself approved in 2008 and declared following your victorious return from Doha that it was a law that restored stolen Christian rights.
However, you can use your constitutional powers to not sign/approve a new law.
Get some advise Mr. Prez

The Doha accord in its third article stated: " adopting the caza as an electoral constituency in conformity with the 1960 law, whereby the districts of Marjayoun-Hasbaya, Baalbek-Hermel and West Bekaa-Rashaya remain as a single electoral constituency each."
The 1960 law is an approved and existing law. Stop your hallucination flamethrower.

and according to the troll flamethrower aoun did not approve the doha accord which is based on the 1960 law. haha!

hahahahahaha! No one and I mean no one can engage, argue and debate like you flamesrower. Your people's skills, social and academic qualifications put you at a different level altogether. You have a subtlety about you that one cannot but notice. No wonder my Nepalese domestic helper and friend adores you.
She always says you are sousing anazar, flamesrower!

please flamethrower tell us under which law did aoun run and win his seat in metn in 2008?

hahahahaha! your answers leave them bewildered and confused, searching for answers, questioning themselves, doubting their abilities.
That is why my Nepalese domestic helper adores you. She says you are somesing anazar flamesrower!

Aoun concluded: “There is no justification whatsoever for not drafting a new law as soon possible. If some believe that wasting time would push the need to staging the elections based on the 1960 law, then they do not know me. My words are clear and decisive. From my position as president I am entrusted to protect the constitution.”
looool

"From my position as president I am entrusted to protect the constitution.”
where does the constitution say we have to have a new election law simply because you said so?

once again, you not only impress my maid but all of us!
somesing anazar!

Excellent and civilized behavior. You cannot beat his argument so accuse him of being 'israeli' and that would solve your inferiority complex.
Typical behavior of a heretic!

flamethrower is a prime example of what's wrong with this country. He cannot deal with reality because his reality or lack of is limited to his imaginary world where no one is allowed to question his delusions. I am surprised naharnet allows this creature to continue with his tantrums and insults. He should be exterminated and disposed of at the Costa Brava landfill.

All this loser can do is not approve or sign on the cabinet/interior minister's request to call for the elections supervisory committee to meet which results in obstruction. He cannot suspend existing laws but he can veto new ones by virtue of not signing them.

elected by what he continuously referred to as an 'illegal and unconstitutional' parliament, he is now claiming to have been entrusted to protect the constitution. What a joke!

It should come as no surprise or secret that my respect for general aoun who is now president has increased exponentially over the years but specifically for saying that some believe wasting time would push the need to stage the elections based on the 1960 law, then they do not know him.
I do respect him.

Part of my respect for him stems from the fact that his words are clear and decisive.

Actually, aoun did clarify what his intentions are : "use his constitutional powers to obstruct the parliamentary elections"
something he is an expert at.

Aoun will soon recognize that being president is in stark contrast to being the head of an appointed group of yes-men in his fpm or a platoon of soldiers in the military.. There is currently an existing election law, the 1960 law that was slightly modified in Doha, and absent an agreement on a new law, the 1960 law will remain constitutionally valid.
This talk of "they do not know me. My words are clear and decisive" are not very presidential.

hahahahaha! always asking the right questions, always probing, always eager, always challenging others to realize their untapped potential, always the smart one, the funny one, the loved one.
No wonder my Nepalese domestic helper adores you flamesrower! She says you are somesing anazar!!

I don't think he weighs his words before he spews them out. Ok, so tell us what will happen when parliament does not come up with a new law to your liking?

ado, you sound like a total uneducated demagogue who creates his own delusional environment and believes it.
