Al-Mayadeen: is West carrying out media propaganda/disinformation campaign against Russia?https://twitter.com/AlMayadeenNews/status/1499102370483032071 …

16-Nasrallah's speech ends. Nothing particularly significant. Emphasis on how Hezbollah wants elections, educational video on how Hezbollah conducts elections/parliamentary activity, and list of parliamentary candidates.

EA Sports initiates process to remove Russian national team, clubs from FIFA games. This isn't the right way to support Ukraine, it's demonizing innocent Russians.https://twitter.com/EASPORTSFIFA/status/1499057030857777154 …

15-Nasrallah: Not proper to assess what each MP has done for a specific district, but what Hezbollah has done for that district, because MPs are part of Hezbollah hierarchy, and not everything Hezbollah does for a specific area or district is necessarily done through MPs

14-Nasrallah: No such thing as Hezbollah MP going and giving his own opinion. He is giving the view of the Loyalty to the Resistance Blo, which in turn is an expression of Hezbollah's vision and strategy

13-Nasrallah: For example, when they vote on confidence for gov't, these MPs can consult internally, but ultimately their decision is that of Hezbollah. So when someone wants to ask Hezbollah MP why they took one decision or another, they should instead ask me

12-Nasrallah: Unlike independent parliamentarians, Hezbollah MPs must operate according to our vision, strategies, goals

11-Nasrallah: They can't operate outside of umbrella of Hezbollah. They can use their own methods, means to accomplish Hezbollah's goals, but they cannot take their own, independent positions.

10-Nasrallah: Hezbollah's parliamentarians are part of Hezbollah. They are not separate from us, they are part of our organizational hierarchy. They have a role within Hezbollah, just like Executive role or Judicia role, and this is Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc.

9-Nasrallah: Our current election platform is now in its final stages, and will be announced soon

8-Nasrallah: A parliamentary election platform isn't a political document or a political statement, just an expectation of what we could accomplish in the next 4-8 yrs. Our current election platform takes inspiration from our 2018 platform

7-Nasrallah: In some districts, we and allies will be on same electoral list; in others, we will discuss w/our allies, and be on separately, but complementary, electoral lists. If we are on two lists, this isn't out of competition, but joint assessment of our electoral interests

6-Nasrallah: We will operate even in districts where we are not running parliamentary lists, in order to support our allies running in those districts

5-Nasrallah: Now everyone is going towards planning elections, drawing up lists. Absent some momentous event like a war, Lebanon is heading towards parliamentary elections, God willing

4-Nasrallah: There have been voices from outset doubting whether parliamentary elections will occur, claiming some parties will prevent elections from happening. It seemed as if these voices were coordinated from one HQ, but these voices have stopped in recent days

3-Nasrallah: So today, I will be discussing Lebanese parliamentary elections
