| MP Atef Majdalani on Tuesday accused Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his ally Hezbollah of blocking the presidential elections in Lebanon. Majdalani, in a statement to Naharnet, said the March 14 majority alliance is committed to two stands: "Principles of the Cedar Revolution and Patriarch (Nasrallah) Sfeir's list" of candidates. "Obstacles are being placed not by us, but by Hezbollah and its allies. The problem is with Ahmadinejad and no one else," Majdalani added. The March 14 alliance, Majdalani added, is "keen on safeguarding the Christians' " role and civil order in Lebanon." He reiterated the March 14 stand of supporting any agreement on a consensus presidential candidate listed by the Maronite Patriarch. Majdalani did not disclose his source of information, but Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah delivered a defiant speech about 9 days ago in which he blasted the March 14 alliance and urged the president to form a second government , which could further destabilize the country. Many political analysts were in agreement that Nasrallah's defiant speech has torpedoed the French initiative which is aimed at bringing Lebanon's feuding leaders to agree on the election of a new president and avoid a power vacuum that could plunge the country into further chaos. |
