Naharnet - Makari: March 14 Should Have Taken a Radical Stance from the Cabinet , October 2, 2011

Deputy Speaker Farid Makari blamed the March 14 forces for not taking fundamental stances from the government after the indictment of four Hizbullah members in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination.
In an interview with the Kuwaiti al-Seyassah newspaper on Sunday, Makari called for a strong confrontation of the Hizbullah-led government.
“Our stance with regards to the four accused Hizbullah members was faced by a very tough position by Hizbullah which considered them as saints,” he said.
“This government includes ministers that represent a party accused of killing Lebanese personalities and I think that we (March 14) are not dealing with this cabinet at the same level of accusation,” he told the newspaper.
He said March 14 MPs should have boycotted the parliamentary sessions aimed at granting the vote of confidence to the government. “This cabinet should have been boycotted and we should have had a radical stance from it.”
The March 14-led opposition should have taken the decision to boycott PM Najib Miqati’s government from the moment that former Premier Saad Hariri was toppled in January, Makari added.
