[ALMASDARNEWS] The leader of the Lebanese Forces
A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb...
Party, Samir Geagea
...Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005...
, announced on Saturday that his organization will not participate in the next government, stressing his refusal to form a mixed government of technocrats and politicians.
After meeting with former Minister Ghattas Khoury, a delegate from President Saad Hariri
 ...Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too....
, Geagea said, "there is no solution except with an independent government of specialists. This will translate into all of our political positions, and we will participate in parliamentary consultations, and the final decision on the nomination will be taken by the powerful bloc of the republic."
He considered that the issue of forming a government is still at the beginning "because some parties still insist on its position with a government as well as previous governments."
Talks between the main parties in Leb are facing a dead-end since Saad Hariri resigned as prime minister on October 29, amid massive protests against the ruling elite, which have long been marked by sectarian and political divisions.
Since October 17, Leb has witnessed widespread popular protests, calling for the dissolution of parliament, early elections, and the abolition of the sectarian quota system in politics, as many see it as a reason for the ineffectiveness of the government.
