MP Akram Shehayeb accused Hezbollah of setting the stage to control Lebanon and change its regime, vowing that the March 14 alliance is committed to confronting such a scheme.
Not fond of the idea of an Islamic Republic of Leb, are you? | Shehayeb, in an interview with Naharnet at the Phoenicia Hotel Bastion that he labels "The Abu Ghreib Jail," said: "Hezbollah is for a preemptive war to control state institutions -- to torpedo the Taif accord."
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, in his latest speech, "wanted to tell all the Lebanese political factions that 'I have the veto power as long as I possess all these weapons and all the money and this strong security apparatus.' This shows that Hezbollah wants a preemptive war to control state institutions in the future," Shehayeb said. "That is why we insist on electing a strong and capable president who can prevent this march of autocracy by Nasrallah," Shehayeb added.
