Head of Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, delivered on Saturday a speech on the anniversary of October 13, stressing that the Christians can be protected through the political and constitutional means exclusively.
Bassil indicated that the Lebanese Forces Head, Samir Geagea, always involves himself in the bloodshed to gain the Christians support, adding that his history as a well as Tayouneh crime proves that.
During the civil war, Geagea struck the Christians in Mount Lebanon, Easter Sidon, Ehden, Baabda, Zahle and staged inversions on October 13, according to Bassil.

Seven martyrs and around 30 injured were reported during the armed attack carried out by the “Lebanese Forces” gunmen on the peaceful protestors in Tayouneh area. The protesters were demonstrating against the politicized decisions of the judicial investigator into Beirut blast, Tarek Al-Bitar.
MP Bassil highlighted again the importance of the Hezbollah-FPM Understanding. indicating that he was sanctioned due to his support to the Resistance.
Bassil told Geagea: “You allied with the terrorists (militants in Syria), we allied with those who protected Lebanon from the terrorists.”
Finally, Bassil called on holding the elections without tampering with the vote law, underscoring allowing the diaspora to participate in the parliamentary poll.
