March
14 General Secretariat coordinator Fares Soueid addressed members of
parliament following Speaker Nabih Berri’s Amal Movement, Hezbollah and
MP General Michel Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement, saying that
“advertising shows” outside the parliament house were useless.

Soueid
accused Berri of attempting to place responsibility for the Lebanese
stalemate on the majority by “accusing them of smuggling quorums."

In
an interview with the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, the former MP
said that the two Kataeb activists who died in the Zahle shootings
Sunday night were “martyrs of all of Lebanon.”

Soueid
said there were attempts to incite intra-Christian strife. “There is an
attempt to say that the Christians are the weaker group today in the
internal Lebanese structure,” he added, “as they think that Sunni-Shia
fighting possibly exceeds the borders of Lebanon, but
Christian-Christian fighting remains confined to family tragedies.”

“We will not miss one opportunity to prevent such fighting, and the Christian March 14 forces will not move in this direction.”
