The head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Representative Gibran Bassil, said at the movement’s seventh annual conference: “We have held out for 15 years to achieve liberation, and we are ready to persevere for years to achieve liberation.” He said: “Look at their lie on March 14, how 33 years fell on the original March 14, in the year 89 It remained and continued with us, after the forged March 14 mask fell.”
Bassil added: “The true March 14 has survived and the false March 14 has fallen completely, just as the true revolution has endured and survived, and the false revolution weakened and fell.”
He continued, “There is a large party in Lebanon, the Corruption Party, and it is “like the warriors”… The motley people enjoyed the gains in the time of guardianship, and when it ended, they changed their skin and rode the wave of freedom, and then refused to give up their gains and failed to reform and caused the collapse on October 17. They returned after changing their skin and their name became Revolution,” adding: “The chariot is not only changing its color, it also changes the truth, and it is trying to change our color. The thief and the corrupt want to do the same for us. This is moral assassination, and it is much more difficult than physical assassination because the bullet kills you once, but the lie and rumor kills you every time.”
He said: “Al-Harbayeh changed its position and canceled constituency 16, and forbade the Lebanese abroad from running and being directly represented by their representatives, and they would have the option to vote among the 128 deputies of the interior or the six deputies from abroad. The chameleon is with her by moving them at her expense.The chameleon is a virgin who walks at night in the guise of the revolution and the homeland of man and disguises as a nun who distributes money and corrupts an entire society, and the international supervisory bodies are watching. One with the great chameleon, the head of the false revolution, and its inspirer.. They unite them on the external project and disagree on their own with each other on the inside.
Bassil affirmed that “their project for the elections is to “overthrow Gibran and the current” and not reform the state and the economy. We are told that the countries cooperated with us. We are patriots and people, and they don’t take money… They like to work with clients and thieves and pay my money, and the result is always failure,” and he said: “The criminal, even if he comes out of his prison with his body. He remains imprisoned by his thought, and if he does not have a cover to kill physically, he is killed politically, but the important thing is for him to be killed, and since 2005 they have launched an assassination campaign against us.”
He continued: “Suppose they won the elections and became the illusory majority. Will they disarm Hezbollah or prevent it from entering the government? And the penalties will not be imposed on me as long as there are elections and no one can bury us and the good people, and you did not get rid of us or get rid of us. We will let them take him by impoverishment, and after they were unable to take him with corruption, we will not let them take him by elections.”
Bassil stressed that on October 17, “the party of war and the false revolution, they thought that they eliminated us. On August 4, on this fateful day, they thought that they blew up us, along with the capital and the port. In fact, they blew up the dreams of the youth. Where did their lie become through bartering? Where did the truth of the port become? Where did they remain silent about the indictment not being issued? Leaving it unavailable to benefit from it in the elections? They run the elections on blood and at the expense of the truth;
He pointed out that “whoever extended his hand to the electoral alliance is Hezbollah, as we extended our hand to him on February 6, 2006, when they tried to isolate it…” They want to suffocate us and isolate us, but we are breathing freedom and with our strength and our alliance we will succeed,” and he continued: “The elections can be a signal if they want to maintain On partnership, on the importance of the Christian presence, and on the symbolism of the presidency, that at the head of the republic there should be an elected person from among the Lebanese in two terms, the first for Christians and the second for all Lebanese. Will the candidates dare to adopt this constitutional amendment?”
Bassil also said: “This country is a partnership and we are forced to sit in it with each other because no one rules alone, and no one has the majority or the charter alone, and we must talk with each other to secure the charter and the majority for every decision, project or law we want to take. We are electorally aligned and remain politically free. I mean, we do not abandon our cause, nor do we indulge in corruption or dependency. The alliance operates, and we win by proxy without changing a position or a demand, nor dropping an accusation, and the representatives who win will serve our cause. After that, we will continue to fight the financial and political system that has been in place since the year 90 and that controls our necks, and we will remain against settlement, terrorism and dependency, and with the liberation of the Lebanese money and their economy from those who control them,” adding: “We will not barter or exchange our positions with our seats, and we will not change anything. They may not be disturbed by our policy at home as much as they are not safe from abroad because of our sovereign policy, because we are with any Lebanese against any foreigner. No matter how they accuse us of partnership, we are difficult and tormented.
