Raad: If Loyalty bloc rejects participation in government, Opposition will continue governing according to its political

Hizbollah Staff, 07-04-2009

In a meeting organized by Hizbullah in Sinai-Nabatiyeh District, head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc MP Mohammad Raad declared, "We want a government that takes control of the Development folder, stops the squandering of public money, and doesn't discriminate between citizens and their regions and religious sects."

"When we call for building a strong capable just government, we mean what we say. When we demand the return of work in the Planning Ministry, it is for work to become studied and carefully calculated...How much does it cost? How much [money] is to be allotted for it? What is its importance for people?" Raad remarked.

Raad noted that the opposition "hopes that it wins the parliamentary majority not to practice in the government what the Loyalty used to practice, but to say to the Loyalty ‘Whithout us you can't do anything in this country. We are eager that you share authority with us.' If they accept, then they are welcome. If they refuse to share, then the opposition will continue in governing the country according to its political, economic, and social program which has been prepared by all opposition forces."
