Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun stressed on Tuesday the “rightful” demands being made by civil society protesters over the political reality in Lebanon, adding that he had objected to corruption in the country years ago.
He added however: “We have questions over those who are mobilizing the demonstrators.”
He also expressed his fear over the effect the Arab Spring may have on Lebanon, citing the bloody conflicts in Syria and Iraq and other countries.
“Would the protesters prefer the garbage piling up on the streets or the chaos in those countries?” Aoun asked after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting.
