Saheli to Loyalist Team: Use calm dialogue in place of sectarian rhetoric

Hizbollah Staff, 25-04-2009

Member of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Nawwar Saheli called the loyalists team to "Move away from the hateful, inciting sectarian rhetoric without returning to it, and to use calm dialogue as a means of conflict management," emphasizing "the attitude of the opposition of maintaining a calm atmosphere and ensuring its continuance now on the threshold of parliamentary elections."

He said that "Someone has been resorting to tensioning incitement in his speech, due to his feeling that his team is wavering, as his team of current majority, which we call 'fake majority' will not regain this majority."

He assured "the opposition will not be provoked, we tell them to go back to the calm and political debate; they must have the courage to tell the people:

- What they have done to Lebanon with their 'majority'?
- Where public debt has gotten to today?
- What is the solution, and how?
- How to solve the problem of the poor in Lebanon?
- What is the solution for the economy and livelihoods?
- How to stop the squander?

"Let us discuss these topics, let this be the electoral speech and let us wait for the election date of June 7 to see the Lebanese people's choice."

He emphasized that "there is a team fully aware with certainty that they would not win, yet they pay money and withhold ID cards to affect the election outcome, in order to lead to a decline or a retreat in the popularity of the resistance."
