Aoun Says Khalil's Words 'Impolite', Amal's Opposition 'Detrimental' to Country
[An Nahar] President Michel Aoun
...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
described MP Ali Hassan Khalil’s words as "impolite and not true," when the latter said there are two presidents in Lebanon Hezbollahstan
...the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity™, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade...
"Every word he uttered is a lie," Aoun said in a press interview.

He added that "they are mixing between the Republic’s president and the Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
’s president."

"I am the President of the country, (Jebran) Bassil is president of the biggest parliamentary bloc. I manage the country’s affairs, he manages the party’s affairs," Aoun stated.

"They hate him because I have raised him and like me, he refuses to bargain," the president said.

On another note, Aoun claimed that Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians...
’s opposition since he was voted President has been "detrimental" to the country and has disrupted many draft laws proposed by the FPM.

"His ministers are refusing to attend Cabinet sessions," Aoun added. "Disrupting the government is a grave mistake, and no party has the right to do so."

Aoun went on to say that he wanted to replace Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh
...Governor of Lebanon'scentral bank, Banque du Liban since April 1993. Salameh was appointed Governor by decree, approved by the Council of Ministers for a renewable term of six years. He was reappointed for four consecutive terms; in 1999, 2005, 2011 and 2017. Salameh chairs the Banque du Liban Central Council, the Higher Banking Commission, the AML/CFT Special Investigation Commission and the Capital Markets Authority. Salameh is a member of the board of governors at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and at the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF). Salameh is the longest-serving central bank governor in the world....
but it was Khalil, back then minister of finance, who asked him to discuss Salameh’s term extension in Cabinet.

He said that "if we fail to conduct a forensic audit, I will say what is obstructing it and I will name the ones who stole the people’s money."
