The "Future" Movement fiercely responded to MP Ashraf Rifi, stating in a statement: "Cowardice is evident in Rifi, who shamelessly continues to spew lies, hatred, and contempt while attacking figures he knows full well are great, as we in Tripoli know well how Ashraf Rifi was and how he has become through numerous despicable acts, starting with the fuel scandals and social aid in the General Directorate of Internal Security Forces, passing through the theft of the beach in the 'Mirmar' emirate, and ending with the plundering of the aid and funds that former Prime Minister Saad Hariri provided through him to serve the people of Tripoli and its citizens." The Future Movement, in its response to Rifi, asserted that "the path of the martyred President Rafik Hariri gave you a lot, and you have only repaid it with treachery, lack of roots, and ingratitude, thus becoming, sir, a symbol of betrayal and treachery, as the Future statement said." Rifi had accused, yesterday Thursday, Nader Hariri of destroying former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and the Future Coordination in Tripoli.
