... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri...
bloc warned the new government on Tuesday against adopting vengeful and spiteful practices, adding that Prime Minister
Najib Miqati wasted an opportunity to form a government of independent figures.It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: "A Cabinet of independent figures would have led the country towards dialogue, instead he chose to serve Hizbullah's arms, succumbing to its 'black shirts policy'."
"After a 140-day delay, a one-sided government was formed, which could have been established a week after Miqati's appointment, but it seems that those in power were waiting for the appropriate moment for permission to form it," it continued.
"The new government is a product of a mission to confront the other and eliminate it on the local scene, and confront the other on the regional and international scenes," the statement noted.
The Mustaqbal bloc predicted that the new government will not abide by Leb's Arab and international commitments.
"It adopted a unilateral political approach therefore making it a March 8 and Hizbullah Cabinet that will go against the developments in the Arab world and Miqati's commitments to national principles," it added.
The bloc announced that it will take the position of a "responsible democratic opposition in order to protect Leb, its constitution and citizens."
"The bloc would like to remind the new government that the Lebanese greatly value their coexistence and general and personal freedoms," it said.
"Passed experiences with totalitarian parties have taught us that their coups begin with the presentation of seemingly independent figures who will eventually suppress society through oppression and persecution," the statement continued.
"The danger of this plague spreading to Leb has now more than ever become a serious possibility under this new government," it warned.
"Any vengeful and spiteful practices on its part will be met with unwavering resistance," it stressed
