Bassil urges anti-establishment president, warns against 'partitioning' adventures
[An Nahar] Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
chief Jebran Bassil has said that the FPM wants "a president who would confront the establishment to stop its crimes, not one who would be part of it and a continuation of its course."

"His decisions should come from his head, not from others. We want a president who would turn Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.

"We want a president who knows that the presidency is a responsibility, work, exhaustion and sleepless nights. He needs to have a knowledge of all files, from economy to finance and laws, and to understand that the presidential palace is a workplace and not a casino," Bassil went on to say.

Separately, Bassil warned against "any partitioning adventure that some might think of."

"Lebanon cannot be partitioned and it can do without more failed experiences and tried adventures. Christians are not an experiment field for the conspiracies of some parties, and on our part we will not only reject that but will rather confront and prevent any sabotage scheme on the ground that would lead to destruction," the FPM chief added.

"At the same time we reject the postponement of broad decentralism under the false excuse that it is partitioning or federalism," Bassil went on to say.
