Taymour , son of MP Walid Jumblatt took his first official step toward becoming the Jumblatti leader by replacing his father in laying red roses at the tomb of his grandfather, the late Kamal Jumblatt to commemorate his 33rd assassination anniversary.
Walid Jumblatt, who took over the PSP leadership from his father, believes it is about time he hands over the leadership to his son.
“This is the first (political) appearance for the man who intends to steer the ship of the Jumblatti leadership,” said Jumblatt as Taymour laid three red roses at his grandfather’s tomb.
Kamal Jumblatt, founder of the Progressive Socialist Party, was assassinated March 16, 1977. Jumblatt accused the Syrian regime of Hafez al Assad ( father of current president Bashar al Assad) of assassinating his dad
On Saturday, Jumblatt told al-Jazeera satellite channel that Taymour will take over the PSP leadership with the help of PSP Secretary- General Sharif Fayyad.
NO COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What ever dignity jumblatt had left it for his son, hence ZERO expectation. He will continue his father’s quest: To lie, switch position and loyalty by the minute, back stab allies to serve his own agenda and aspiration, kill others and make the poor poorer.
Any way it is ominous that jumblatt senior is making this move…Does he know what’s coming to him!!!!!!!

I totally agree with the so called “democracy” that we have in Lebanon, it’s a joke.
But in the regards to the gentleman that accused Jumblat with lying and switching sides along with killing others, go back and read history, all the major parties/leaders in Lebanon have done the same, killed, stole, and advanced their own agenda… but the funny part is that they still govern. So let’s do the right thing and not just single one out, they all did us (the Lebanese people) wrong, that’s the honest truth.
My hope is that one day Lebanon will be back in the hands of the real Lebanese people, not the leaders of the past that caused us and still cause us misery.

People, this was a FAMILY RELATED political party in the first place, THEN lead on to becoming more widely known. I DO support this move, but only if these newer politicians, ”THE YOUTHS”, do a better job than their fathers.

Tony,
You do not have to insult people for voicing their opinion. It is that type of behavior that brings those politicians back into power in the first place. In a democratic society we ALL can voice our opinion, whether it is stupid or not. We defeat our opponents at the ballot NOT by silencing them. If you do silence them, then you belong in a totalitarian regime like Syria not in Lebanon.
That said, I do agree that the PSP should elect their leader and not have him inherit a post just because he is a Jumblat like all other parties that are controlled by families.
