MP Tony Frangieh considered that "Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, once he secured confidence, "no longer cared about anyone" and cannot deal with the Lebanese as if he were Rafic Hariri."
In an interview with MTV, Frangieh said: "If Salam is with the revolution, that doesn’t mean imposing his conditions on everyone, and Sleiman Frangieh did not accept all the temptations for not supporting Joseph Aoun for the presidency."
He confirmed that "the relationship with President Joseph Aoun is good and ongoing, and the doors of the Arab countries were closed to us after Michel Aoun’s election; I am surprised at how the Lebanese authorities allowed our Arab relations to deteriorate."
Frangieh also noted that "the appointments that took place today are not encouraging, were not made in a clear manner, and several ministries were offered to us, including the Ministry of Information, but we did not express interest in any of them."
Regarding the municipal elections, he stated: "I am ready to reach an agreement in the municipal elections with Michel Moawad or "sit aside" and leave the choice to the people, otherwise, we will challenge him if he challenges us."
On another note, he considered that "the Syrian regime has made many mistakes, and I call on the new Syrian authorities to strike with an iron fist and protect everyone."
He also pointed out that "there are many gaps in the electoral law, and we have reached a catastrophic outcome, as the principle of justice is not present in it, and we must move away from the logic of exclusion."
On the economic front, Frangieh said: "What led us to this economic stage was a conspiracy against the country, and the Marada ministers objected in the Cabinet to defaulting on the Eurobond payments."
