Mustaqbal: Hizbullah Seeking to Follow Syrian Example by Defending Govt. Mistakes

The Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc condemned on Tuesday Hizbullah and its allies’ conduct during last week’s parliamentary session that was aimed at assessing the government’s performance.

It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: “Hizbullah is seeking to follow the example of its Syrian ally through going to extremes in defending the government’s mistakes in the power and telecommunications sectors, among others.”

The Hizbullah and Change and Reform MPs resorted to “sectarian rhetoric and falsifying facts in order to cover up its failure in tackling the people’s issues,” it added.

“Such conduct is not a sign of strength, but weakness and cowardice,” it continued.

Furthermore, the Mustaqbal bloc noted: “Instead of taking the opportunity to extend its hand to the Lebanese, to whom it directed its arms, Hizbullah is seeking to act as sole ruler of Lebanon, similar to the Syrian regime that is also ruled by one party.”
