NNA- Approval of the salary scale is inescapable, minister of State for Administrative Development Muhammad Fneish, informed Hizbullah-affiliated school teachers at al-Mustafa High School of Hosh/Tyr today. Following the approval of other relevant professional salary scales he argued, passing of the teachers' salary scale by parliament seems now unavoidable. He accused the ruling government team of myopia or, lack of political perspective.



With reference to a widely consensual law, he qualified any feasible electoral law as that allowing people to freely express their will otherwise, it would flagrantly contradict democracy.



In an indirect allusion to the populist Sunni cleric Ahmad al-Aseer and supporters, Fneish reiterated party rejection of such an "inacceptable phenomenon" and, duly prodded the military not to get cowed or threatened by the likes of those groups.



The minister hinted that pro-Hariris have been exploiting those groups in their war against his party and concluded that through such bad endeavors, they would only exacerbate the situation and destabilize their own city and the country at large.
